Collect JFrog Artifactory logs

Supported in:

This document explains how to ingest Jfrog Artifactory logs to Google Security Operations using Bindplane. The parser handles two different JFrog Artifactory log formats. It uses grok patterns to identify and extract fields from each format. It then maps those fields to the UDM, handling JSON payloads within one of the formats and dropping logs that don't match either format.

Before you begin

  • Ensure that you have a Google SecOps instance.
  • Ensure that you are using Windows 2016 or later, or a Linux host with systemd.
  • If running behind a proxy, ensure firewall ports are open.
  • Ensure that you have privileged access to Jfrog Artifactory instance.

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

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

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

  1. Access the configuration file:

    1. Locate the config.yaml file. Typically, it's in the /etc/bindplane-agent/ directory on Linux or in the installation directory on Windows.
    2. Open the file using a text editor (for example, nano, vi, or Notepad).

  2. Edit the config.yaml file as follows:

    ```yaml
receivers:
    udplog:
        # Replace the port and IP address as required
        listen_address: "0.0.0.0:514"

exporters:
    chronicle/chronicle_w_labels:
        compression: gzip
        # Adjust the path to the credentials file you downloaded in Step 1
        creds: '/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
        ingestion_labels:
            log_type: 'JFROG_ARTIFACTORY'
            raw_log_field: body

service:
    pipelines:
        logs/source0__chronicle_w_labels-0:
            receivers:
                - udplog
            exporters:
                - chronicle/chronicle_w_labels
```

  3. Replace the port and IP address as required in your infrastructure.

  4. Replace <customer_id> with the actual customer ID.

  5. Update /path/to/ingestion-authentication-file.json to the path where the authentication file was saved in the Get Google SecOps ingestion authentication file section.

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 Jfrog Artifactory Syslog

  1. Connect to the Jfrog Artifactory instance.

  2. Edit the file $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/etc/artifactory/logback.xml using vi:

    vi $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/etc/artifactory/logback.xml

  3. Add the following syslog appender to the file:

    <appender name="SYSLOG" class= "ch.qos.logback.classic.net.SyslogAppender">
    <syslogHost>Bindplane-Agent-IP</syslogHost>
    <facility>SYSLOG</facility>
    <suffixPattern>[%thread] %logger %msg</suffixPattern>
</appender>
    • Replace Bindplane-Agent-IP in syslogHost, with the actual IP address configured for the Bindplane agent.

  4. Add additional configuration data to the file:

    <root>
< level value="debug"/>
<appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
<appender-ref ref="FILE"/>
<appender-ref ref="SYSLOG"/>
</root>

  5. Save the file by clicking the ESC (escape) button on your keyboard and typing :wq.

UDM Mapping Table

Log Field UDM Mapping Logic
action read_only_udm.metadata.product_event_type The value of action from the raw log is converted to lowercase and mapped.
datetime read_only_udm.metadata.event_timestamp The raw log's datetime field is parsed and converted to a timestamp.
hostname read_only_udm.principal.hostname Directly mapped from the raw log's hostname field.
id read_only_udm.metadata.product_log_id Directly mapped from the raw log's id field (from JSON payload).
ip read_only_udm.principal.ip Directly mapped from the raw log's ip field. Hardcoded to "USER_RESOURCE_ACCESS". Hardcoded to "JFROG_ARTIFACTORY". Hardcoded to "Artifactory". Hardcoded to "JFROG".
owner read_only_udm.principal.user.userid Mapped if username is not present in the raw log (from JSON payload).
