Ingest Traps ESM Logs on Panorama
Visibility is a critical first step in preventing
and reducing the impact of an attack. To help you meet this challenge,
Panorama provides an integrated view of firewall logs (events on
the network) and Traps™ ESM Server logs (security events on the
endpoints) so that you can trace any suspicious or malicious activity.
For
awareness and context on the events observed on the network and
on your endpoints, forward security events that the Traps agents
report to the ESM Server on to Panorama. Panorama can serve as a
Syslog receiver that ingests these logs from the Traps ESM components
using Syslog over TCP, UDP, or SSL. Then, Panorama can correlate
discrete security events that occur on the endpoints with what’s happening
on the network and generate match evidence. This evidence gives
you more context on the chronology and flow of events to investigate
issues and fix security gaps in your network.
- Define the log ingestion profile on Panorama and attach it to a Collector Group.Panorama virtual appliance in legacy mode cannot ingest Traps logs.
- Select , and clickAdd.
- Enter aNamefor the profile.
- ClickAddand enter the details for the ESM Server. You can add up to four ESM Servers to a profile.
- Enter aSource Name.
- Specify thePorton which Panorama will be listening for syslog messages. The range is 23000 to 23999.
- Select theTransportlayer protocol—TCP, UDP, or SSL.
- Select Traps_ESM forExternal Log typeand 3.4.0 from theVersiondrop-down.As Traps log formats are updated, the updated log definitions will be available through content updates on Panorama.
- Select andAddthe log ingestion profile so that the Collector Group can receive logs from the ESM Server(s) listed in the profile.If you are enabling SSL for secure syslog communication between Panorama and the ESM Server(s), you must attach a certificate to the Managed Collectors that belong to the Collector Group (, and select the certificate to use forInbound Certificate for Secure Syslog).
- Commitchanges to Panorama and the Collector Group.
- Configure Panorama as a Syslog receiver on the ESM Server.
- From the ESM Console, select , andEnable Syslog.
- Enter Panorama hostname or IP address as theSyslog Serverand theSyslog Porton which Panorama is listening.
- Select the Transport layer protocol: TCP, TCP with SSL, or UDP. If you select TCP with SSL, the ESM Server requires a server certificate to enable client authentication.From Panorama, you must export the root CA certificate for the Inbound Certificate for Secure Syslog, and import the certificate in to the trusted root certificate store of the host on which you have installed the ESM Server.
- In the Logging Events area, select one or more of the events. At a minimum, you must enable sending of security events for prevention, notification, and provisional incidents that the Traps agents report. For details on the other forwarding settings, refer to the Traps 3.4 Administrator’s Guide.
- View ESM logs and correlated events.
- Select to view the logs ingested in to Panorama.ESM Logs and Correlated Events
- Select , and filter on theWildfire and Traps ESM Correlated C2correlation object name to find correlated events. Panorama generates correlated events when a host on your network exhibits command and control activity that matches the behavior observed for a malicious file in the WildFire virtual environment. This correlated event alerts you to suspicious activity that a Traps agent and the firewall have observed from one or more infected hosts on your network.
