Overview

This document will provide detailed information to forward logs to Seceon SIEM Tool when the Microsoft Server serves as Domain Controller, DNS, DHCP, FTP, Apache, Windows AD, Windows MS Exchange, and Windows MSSQL role.

Prerequisite

Configuration Steps

  • This is a sample configuration file. See the nxlog reference manual about

    configuration options. It should be installed locally

    Please set the ROOT to the folder your nxlog was installed into, otherwise, it will not start. Additionally, ensure that some of the placeholders are updated for your environment. Examples of placeholders are CCE_IP_ADDRESS, and filenames for logfiles to read from.

Note :

To Enable the logging of IIS, DNS, and MSSQL, Please follow the below link instruction.

For IIS: Enable Logging on Windows IIS server

For MSSQL: Windows-Enabling MSSQL Logs

For DNS: To enable DNS diagnostic logging

For Windows Events: Enable Windows Events Logs(Audit Policies)

Verification Steps:

This can validate the success of configuration either on UI or on the CCE server.

  • Verification through UI

  1. Open UI >>Systems. Navigate to System >> Log/Flow Collection Status

2.Under The source device, the IP address section of the device configured will reflect.

  • Verification Through the CCE server

“sudo tcpdump -i any host 5154 or 514 and host <IP address> -AAA” command should be run on the CCE server to check whether or not we are getting logs.

  • No labels
