Integration pattern
Terminal + your SIEM
Most teams already have a SIEM or log pipeline. Terminal does not replace it — it fills the gap SIEM often misses: human-readable interactive session context.
- Keep SIEM for fleet-wide detections and correlations
- Use Terminal for privileged interactive session detail
- Document both in your monitoring policy
- Optional: alert on access anomalies in SIEM while investigating in Terminal
How it works
- 1
Define sources of truth
SIEM owns host/auth telemetry at scale. Terminal owns mediated interactive sessions for eng access.
- 2
Operational runbooks
When an alert fires, jump to Terminal session history for the user/host window — not only raw syslog.
- 3
Compliance narrative
Show auditors both continuous monitoring (SIEM) and privileged session review (Terminal).
FAQ
Do you have a native Splunk/ELK connector today?
Treat Terminal as the session UI and export evidence as needed. For custom shipping pipelines, contact us about Enterprise integrations.
