Mimecast Integrations

Introduction 

The Mimecast integration collects events from the Mimecast API. 



Assumptions 

The procedures described in Section 3 assumes that a Log Collector has already been setup.   



Requirements 

Configuration 

Authorization parameters for the Mimecast API (Application Key, Application ID, Access Key, and Secret Key) should be provided by a Mimecast representative for this integration. Under Advanced options you can set the time interval between two API requests as well as the API URL. A Mimecast representative should also be able to give you this information in case you need to change the defaults. 

Note: Rate limit quotas may require you to set up different credentials for the different available log types.
