Files.com keeps a record of everything that happens to your files — every login, upload, download, automation run, and outside connection. This integration sends that record into Sumo Logic as it happens, so file activity becomes searchable on the same dashboards your security team already runs.
Your team already sends system and app logs into Sumo Logic. File movement is usually the gap — logins, uploads and downloads, automation runs, and outside connections all happen inside the file platform. Files.com becomes a Sumo Logic data source, sending its own activity in so file events line up with the rest of your data instead of sitting off on their own.
Files.com sends logins, uploads, downloads, automation runs, external connections, and API calls into Sumo Logic the moment they happen, so your security team can watch and dig into file events on the dashboards they already run.
Files.com sends events to a Sumo Logic HTTP source. The token that secures it is already baked into the source address Sumo Logic gives you — so there's nothing separate to configure. Paste the URL, name it, done.
Everything streams by default. If you only want some of it, pick what each Sumo Logic collector gets — and split it by environment, one set to dev, another to prod.
The events come from the Files.com audit log, which can't be edited and is kept for 7+ years. Sumo Logic does the searching and alerting; Files.com holds the original, trustworthy record.
The same stream carries login activity, transfer volumes, and automation results. So spotting anomalies, planning capacity, and pulling audit reports all draw from one feed.
Sumo Logic reads the events; it doesn't decide who can touch which files or keep the record of what they did. Files.com does that part — access folder by folder, every action written to a record that can't be changed, and the same company logins your team already uses.
Hand each team, project, or person the exact folders they need. The person you see in a Sumo Logic query is the same account Files.com controls access for.
Every login, upload, download, and permission change is written to a record that can’t be altered and is kept for 7+ years — the evidence a SOC 2, HIPAA, or GDPR review asks for, ready to report on in Sumo Logic.
People sign in with your company login through SSO, SAML, and SCIM. When someone leaves, you cut their file access in one place.
The stream to Sumo Logic is encrypted. Since the token lives in the source address, you rotate the credential by rotating the source — and Files.com logs the act of sending so a failed delivery is easy to spot.
The main way most teams use this. Files.com sends each event into a Sumo Logic HTTP source the moment it happens, ready to monitor and investigate. This is an Enterprise-plan feature; it isn't on Starter or Power.
Instead of a live stream, Files.com can write log files to a folder on a schedule you set, from every 5 minutes up to every 6 hours. Useful for batch ingest, a long-term archive, or a locked-down network — alongside the live feed.
Files.com login and download events flow into Sumo Logic, where a rule can flag password-guessing attempts, repeated failed logins, or one account pulling far more files than usual — checked against activity from your other systems.
Keep your Files.com file-activity record in Sumo Logic and run SOC 2, HIPAA, or GDPR audit reports from the same dashboard, all backed by the tamper-proof record.
Your IT team builds Sumo Logic dashboards on transfer volumes, usage patterns, and which automations succeed — trends over time for planning, live views for catching a job that broke.
After a suspected breach, your security team searches every Files.com event the account touched in Sumo Logic — uploads, downloads, outside connections, permission changes — all from the tamper-proof record.
The 7+ year record that can't be altered — the trustworthy source every event sent to Sumo Logic comes from.
