Collect Delinea Distributed Engine logs

Supported in:

This document explains how to ingest Delinea Distributed Engine logs to Google Security Operations using Bindplane.

Before you begin

Make sure you have the following prerequisites:

  • Google SecOps instance
  • Windows 2016 or later or a Linux host with systemd
  • If running behind a proxy, ensure firewall ports are open
  • Privileged access to the Delinea portal.

Get Google SecOps ingestion authentication file

  1. Sign in to the Google SecOps console.
  2. Go to SIEM Settings > Collection Agents.
  3. Download the Ingestion Authentication File. Save the file securely on the system where Bindplane will be installed.

Get Google SecOps customer ID

  1. Sign in to the Google SecOps console.
  2. Go to SIEM Settings > Profile.
  3. Copy and save the Customer ID from the Organization Details section.

Install the Bindplane agent

Install the Bindplane agent on your Windows or Linux operating system according to the following instructions.

Windows installation

  1. Open the Command Prompt or PowerShell as an administrator.

  2. Run the following command:

    msiexec /i "https://github.com/observIQ/bindplane-agent/releases/latest/download/observiq-otel-collector.msi" /quiet

Linux installation

  1. Open a terminal with root or sudo privileges.

  2. Run the following command:

    sudo sh -c "$(curl -fsSlL https://github.com/observiq/bindplane-agent/releases/latest/download/install_unix.sh)" install_unix.sh

Additional installation resources

For additional installation options, consult the installation guide.

Configure the Bindplane agent to ingest Syslog and send to Google SecOps

  1. Access the configuration file:
    • Locate the config.yaml file. Typically, it's in the /etc/bindplane-agent/ directory on Linux or in the installation directory on Windows.
    • Open the file using a text editor (for example, nano, vi, or Notepad).
  2. Edit the config.yaml file as follows: yaml receivers: tcplog: # Replace the port and IP address as required listen_address: "0.0.0.0:5145" exporters: chronicle/chronicle_w_labels: compression: gzip # Adjust the path to the credentials file you downloaded in Step 1 creds_file_path: '/path/to/ingestion-authentication-file.json' # Replace with your actual customer ID from Step 2 customer_id: <customer_id> endpoint: malachiteingestion-pa.googleapis.com # Add optional ingestion labels for better organization log_type: 'DELINEA_DISTRIBUTED_ENGINE' raw_log_field: body ingestion_labels: service: pipelines: logs/source0__chronicle_w_labels-0: receivers: - tcplog exporters: - chronicle/chronicle_w_labels
  • Replace the port and IP address as required in your infrastructure.

Restart the Bindplane agent to apply the changes

  • To restart the Bindplane agent in Linux, run the following command:

    sudo systemctl restart bindplane-agent

  • To restart the Bindplane agent in Windows, you can either use the Services console or enter the following command:

    net stop BindPlaneAgent && net start BindPlaneAgent

Configure Delinea Syslog

  1. Sign in to the Delinea portal web UI.
  2. Go to Admin > Application.
  3. Click the Edit button.
  4. Click the Enable Syslog/CEF Log Output checkbox. A Syslog section is displayed.
  5. Enter the Bindplane Agent IP address.
  6. Enter the Bindplane Agent port number.
  7. Click the Protocol menu and select TCP.
  8. Click to select Time Zone list to UTC Time or Server Time, depending on your preference.
  9. Click the Site menu to select the related Site that Syslog/CEF will run on.
  10. Optional (requires additional permissions): Select Write Syslogs As Windows Events to write audits and event subscriptions to the Windows Event log.
  11. Click Save.

Configure Log Level for Distributed Engines

  1. Sign in to the Delinea portal web UI.
  2. Go to Admin > Distributed Engine.
  3. Click the three dots icon over the relevant engine and select Show Settings.
  4. Select the Log Level menu and select Info.
  5. Click OK.

UDM Mapping Table

Log Field UDM Mapping Logic
ACTION security_result.action If ACTION_CODE is "1", set to "ALLOW". Otherwise, if ACTION_CODE is not empty, set to "BLOCK". Otherwise, defaults to "UNKNOWN_ACTION" from earlier in the parser.
ACTION_CODE security_result.action Used in the logic to determine security_result.action.
APP_NAME network.http.user_agent Directly mapped.
BYTES_RECVD network.received_bytes Directly mapped, converted to unsigned integer.
BYTES_SENT network.sent_bytes Directly mapped, converted to unsigned integer.
CLOUDGENIX_HOST principal.hostname Directly mapped if NAME field is empty. Used as intermediary hostname if NAME is present.
CODE metadata.product_event_type Concatenated with FACILITY to form metadata.product_event_type. Also used to determine metadata.event_type (e.g., if CODE contains "DOWN", metadata.event_type is set to "STATUS_SHUTDOWN").
DESTINATION_ZONE_NAME about.labels Directly mapped as a label with key "DESTINATION_ZONE_NAME".
DEVICE_TIME metadata.event_timestamp Directly mapped after being parsed as a date.
DST_INTERFACE target.hostname Directly mapped.
DST_IP target.ip Directly mapped.
DST_PORT target.port Directly mapped, converted to integer.
ELEMENT_ID about.labels Directly mapped as a label with key "ELEMENT_ID".
EVENT_TIME metadata.event_timestamp Directly mapped after being parsed as a date.
FACILITY metadata.product_event_type Concatenated with CODE to form metadata.product_event_type.
FLOW_EVENT security_result.summary Used as part of the security_result.summary string.
IDENTIFIER about.labels Directly mapped as a label with key "IDENTIFIER".
ION_HOST principal.hostname Directly mapped if CLOUDGENIX_HOST and NAME fields are empty.
MSG metadata.description Directly mapped. Also used for regex matching to determine metadata.event_type and to extract target.ip.
NAME principal.hostname Directly mapped. If present, CLOUDGENIX_HOST becomes the intermediary.hostname.
PROCESS_NAME principal.process.file.full_path Directly mapped.
PROTOCOL_NAME network.ip_protocol Directly mapped, converted to uppercase.
REMOTE_HOSTNAME target.hostname Directly mapped.
REMOTE_IP target.ip Directly mapped.
RULE_NAME security_result.rule_name Directly mapped.
SEVERITY security_result.severity, security_result.severity_details Mapped to security_result.severity_details. Also used to determine security_result.severity (e.g., if SEVERITY is "minor", security_result.severity is set to "LOW").
SOURCE_ZONE_NAME about.labels Directly mapped as a label with key "SOURCE_ZONE_NAME".
SRC_INTERFACE principal.hostname Directly mapped.
SRC_IP principal.ip Directly mapped.
SRC_PORT principal.port Directly mapped, converted to integer.
VPN_LINK_ID target.resource.id Directly mapped.
(Parser Logic) is_alert Set to true if log_type is "alert" or "alarm".
(Parser Logic) is_significant Set to true if log_type is "alert" or "alarm".
(Parser Logic) metadata.event_type Determined by a series of conditional statements based on the values of CODE, MSG, src_ip, and dest_ip. Defaults to "GENERIC_EVENT".
(Parser Logic) metadata.log_type Set to "CLOUDGENIX_SDWAN".
(Parser Logic) metadata.product_event_type Defaults to the concatenation of CODE and FACILITY. Set to "cgxFlowLogV1" for flow logs.
(Parser Logic) metadata.product_name Set to "CloudGenix SD-WAN".
(Parser Logic) metadata.vendor_name Set to "Palo Alto Networks".
(Parser Logic) principal.process.pid Set to the value of pid from the raw log for flow logs.
(Parser Logic) security_result.action Defaults to "UNKNOWN_ACTION".
(Parser Logic) security_result.severity Defaults to "UNKNOWN_SEVERITY". Set based on the value of SEVERITY. Set to "INFORMATIONAL" for flow logs.
(Parser Logic) security_result.summary Set based on the value of CODE for syslog messages. Set to a descriptive string including FLOW_EVENT, SRC_IP, and DST_IP for flow logs.
