Difference between configuring SIEM forwarder from SPS Web console and from SPS REST API

Hi everyone,

lately i had a doubt that maybe you could sort out.

What is the difference between implementing the universal siem forwarder

  • via the SPS Web interface ( Basic Settings > Management > Universal SIEM forwarder)
  • by using thie API procedure (POST the JSON object to the https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/management/universal_siem_forwarder endpoint)

Would i have the same result? Would i be able to see the same configuration in the SPS Web interface if i would have used the API method?

Is that the only way to implement SIEM Forwarder via API?

Thank you,

Simone
