The runtime script and CLI retain the historical Syslog naming, but the documented wire format is newline-delimited JSON (NDJSON) over TCP.
Why it exists
On-prem SOC teams often already have established SIEM dashboards, monitoring portals, and operational processes. They still need Stellar Cyber NDR/XDR alerts and cases inside those systems without manual exports or one-off integrations.What it does
Alert and case forwarding
Pulls alerts and cases from the Stellar Cyber API and forwards them to downstream SOC systems.
Flexible stream modes
Run alert-only, case-only, or both streams from the same daemon.
Built for operations
Supports fetch checkpointing, send retry/recovery, and backfill for continuous operation.
Separate destinations
Alert and case streams can use independent destination IP addresses and ports.
At a glance
Typical deployment
The relay runs on a Linux host that can reach both Stellar Cyber and the destination SIEM/SOC receiver. For long-running deployments, run it undersystemd so it starts at boot and automatically recovers from process failures.
Quickstart
Start an alert stream, a case stream, or both.
Configuration
Configure stream intervals, destinations, and case options.
Run with systemd
Keep the relay running continuously and inspect service logs.
Output format
Prepare your receiver for TCP NDJSON delivery.
