Problem with DBConnect and disabled SSL on Http Event Collector

[analiaeg]

Hi all.

We have one Heavy Forwarder with DBConnect working successfully.
On the other hand, we need to configure Http Event Collector with SSL disabled, and if we do this, DBConnect stops working.

Does anybody knows if is possible to work with HEC without SSL in a way that doesn't affect to Dbconnect??

Thanks in advance.

That's unfortunately not possible. The HEC configuration is designed in a way to open just one port with one TLS configuration. These are in the [http] stanza in inputs.conf.

DBConnect uses HEC by it's own for indexing extracted data. So DBConnect will always been affected.

I recommend not to decrease the security level by removing TLS. I would try to force the source system to get SSL working on their side. Otherwise you need to setup a second HF instance for HEC without TLS.
