Collect Duo Activity logs

Supported in:

This document describes how to export Duo Activity logs and ingest them into Google Security Operations by deploying the ingestion script written in Python as a Cloud Run function and how log fields map to Google Security Operations Unified Data Model (UDM) fields.

For more information, see Data ingestion to Google Security Operations overview.

A typical deployment consists of Duo Activity and the ingestion script deployed as Cloud Run functions to send logs to Google Security Operations. Each customer deployment can differ and might be more complex.

The deployment contains the following components:

  • Duo Activity: The platform from which you collect logs.

  • Cloud Run functions: The ingestion script deployed as Cloud Run functions to fetch logs from Duo Activity and ingest them into Google Security Operations.

  • Google Security Operations: Retains and analyzes the logs.

An ingestion label identifies the parser which normalizes raw log data to structured UDM format. The information in this document applies to the parser with the DUO_ACTIVITY ingestion label.

Before you begin

  • Ensure that you have access to the Duo Admin panel.
  • Ensure that you are using Duo Admin API version 2 or later.

Configure Duo Activity

  1. Sign in to the Duo Admin panel as an administrator.
  2. Click Applications > Protect an Application.
  3. In the Applications list, click Admin API > Protect to get your integration key, secret key, and API hostname.

Configure Log Ingestion for Google Security Operations

  1. Create a deployment directory to store the files for the Cloud Run functions. This will contain all files needed for the deployment.
  2. Copy all files from the GitHub sub-directory of Duo Activity located in the Google Security Operations GitHub repository to this deployment directory.
  3. Copy the common folder and all contents to the deployment directory.
  4. Edit the .env.yml file to add all the required environment variables.
  5. Configure the environment variables marked as Secret in Secret Manager. For more information on how to create secrets, see Creating and Accessing secrets.
  6. Use the secret's resource name as the value for the environment variables.
  7. Enter the value DUO_ACTIVITY in the CHRONICLE_NAMESPACE environment variable.
  8. In the Source code field, select ZIP Upload.
  9. In the Destination bucket field, click Browse to select a Cloud Storage bucket to upload your source code to as part of deployment.
  10. In the ZIP file field, click Browse to select a ZIP file to upload from your local file system. Your function source files must be located at the root of the ZIP file.
  11. Click Deploy.
