Need an efficient feature, or path (e.g. API endpoint) to export Raw Flow data from SevOne for consumption over Kafka. SDB does this, but only for metrics. Attempts to use SevOne-act (as a way to work around the SDB limitation) result in long export times, would not scale, and would not be supported by IBM.

For SevOne customers using a Data Lake architecture, who want to store/process Raw Flow data, for downstream security or other analysis/anomaly detection would find this highly valuable.

Use the more secure Azure Managed Identity instead of SAS token when authenticating SevOne DataBus (SDB) against a Kafka enabled Event Hub

Currently, our SevOne DataBus (SDB) feed is sending to an Azure Event Hub as the Kafka Consumer endpoint. Authentication relies on a SAS token (SharedAccessKey). The use of SAS tokens as an authentication mechanism is proved to be less secure, and...
