Overview

We are providing you with the steps to integrate your Window MS Exchange with Seceon SIEM so One can have Comprehensive visibility and Proactive Threat Detection in your Environment. There will be a log transfer between your firewall to APE(Analytics and Policy Engine) via CCE (Collection and Control Engine ). In this document, we are guiding you through the steps for Log forwarding.

Steps of Configuration

 1.Login on MS Exchange server

          Download the latest version of nxlog. It is easiest to choose the Windows msi file which includes an installer.

          http://nxlog.org/products/nxlog-community-edition/download

2.Open the Nxlog configuration file at:

        C:\Program Files\nxlog\conf\nxlog.conf ( Make sure you stick to the path mentioned).

 (Replace the entire configuration file by pasting the following Below – Note to replace the variable ({IP address of Seceon Server}) with the actual Seceon Server IP address:)

## This is a sample configuration file. See the nxlog reference manual about the
## configuration options. It should be installed locally and is also available
## online at http://nxlog.org/nxlog-docs/en/nxlog-reference-manual.html

## Please set the ROOT to the folder your nxlog was installed into,
## otherwise it will not start.

#define ROOT C:\Program Files\nxlog
define ROOT C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog

Moduledir %ROOT%\modules
CacheDir %ROOT%\data
Pidfile %ROOT%\data\nxlog.pid
SpoolDir %ROOT%\data
LogFile %ROOT%\data\nxlog.log

<Extension syslog>
Module xm_syslog
</Extension>

define BASEDIR C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\Logs\MessageTracking

<Input in_exchange> 
Module im_file 
File '%BASEDIR%\MSGTRK*-*.LOG' 
SavePos TRUE
Exec if $raw_event =~ /HealthMailbox/ drop();
Exec if $raw_event =~ /^#/ drop();
</Input>

<Output out_exchange>
Module om_udp
Host <CCE_IP_ADDRESS> (Put actual CCE IP)
Port 514
Exec $SyslogFacilityValue = 2;
Exec $SourceName = 'exchange_msgtrk_log';
Exec to_syslog_bsd();

</Output>
