The NSS Collector functionality and the data collected using this functionality are exclusive to Shadow IT Report. To enable this feature for your organization, contact Zscaler Support.

You can configure the NSS Collector server in the Admin Portal to obtain the packaged software (VM image) that must be installed in your organization’s network perimeter. To learn more about NSS Collectors and their use in third-party log integration with Zscaler, see Understanding Nanolog Streaming Service (NSS).

To add an NSS Collector server:

1. Go to Logs > Log Streaming > Nanolog Streaming Service.
2. From the NSS Collector Servers tab, click Add NSS Collector Server.
3. In the Add NSS Collector Server window:
   • Name: Enter a name for the NSS Collector server.
   • Vendor: Select the vendor of the third-party firewall or web proxy service used by your organization for which the logs must be integrated with Zscaler.
   • Status: Select Enabled to allow the NSS Collector to process and stream logs from the third-party firewalls or web proxies to the Zscaler service. When disabled, the NSS Collector does not process or stream logs from third-party security solutions.

4. Click Save.

When the NSS Collector server is added to the Admin Portal, Zscaler generates the packaged software for installation and issues an SSL certificate to the server.

To download the packaged software and the SSL certificate for the server:

1. Click the Edit icon displayed against the NSS Collector server.

2. In the Edit NSS Server window:

   • Under the SSL Certificate field, you can download the SSL certificate issued for the NSS Collector server. You can also regenerate a new certificate for the server as required. The SSL certificate must be installed on the NSS Collector VM so that the NSS Collector can authenticate as a client with the Zscaler service.
   • Under the Software field, you can download the packaged software generated for the server. This packaged software must be deployed in your organization's network perimeter. To learn more about the deployment procedure, see NSS Collector Deployment Guide for VMware vSphere.

You can also download the SSL certificate directly from the NSS Collector Servers table by clicking the Download button against the required NSS Collector server under the SSL Certificate column.

An organization can have up to 4 NSS Collector servers.
