Ingesting multi-region on-prem NAS logs into SecOps, which configuration ensures each NAS is tagged as a distinct log source to prevent IP aliasing?

• A. Configure feed management to pull data from each location and configure a namespace per log source.
• B. Configure feed management to pull data and configure an ingestion label per log source.
• C. Configure a Bindplane agent collecting Syslog from each location and configure a namespace per log source.
• D. Configure a Bindplane agent and an ingestion label per log source.

Answer: (B)

When multiple on‑prem NAS devices are sending logs to SecOps, you need a persistent identifier for each device so the system doesn’t confuse them when they share the same network path or IP. The key is to attach a distinct tag to every log stream at ingestion time. Using an ingestion label per log source provides a unique, per-source identity that travels with every event, ensuring logs from each NAS are treated as separate sources even if their sending IPs collide. Pairing this with feed management to pull from each location creates a clean, scalable way to attribute data correctly across multi-region deployments.

Namespaces can help organize data, but they don’t guarantee unique source attribution in the ingestion pipeline, so they’re not as reliable for preventing IP aliasing. An agent-based approach (BindPlane) would also work if it applies an ingestion label, but the most direct and standard method described here uses a per-source ingestion label with feed management.
