ELK and PasswordState


Azkabahn

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

i would like to start this thread to get some insights if any of the other customers are using external syslog server to ship the logs from PasswordState. I am using ELK stack.  Currently i am trying to create custom filters in Kibana to filter out the logs from PasswordState. I have the question, does the PasswordState always include "Passwordstate" value in the logs that are being sent to syslog server?

host:X.X.X.X @timestamp:September 12th 2017, 17:17:29.728 @version:1 message:<110>2017-09-12 16:15:52 X.X.X.X Passwordstate: Failed 'Forms Based' login attempt for UserID 'n.lastname' from the IP Address 'X.X.X.X'. Client IP Address = X.X.X.X _id:AV_aAXYurEipAt82YaPZ _type:logs _index:%{type}-2017.11.20 _score: -

 

Feature Request - it would be great to have support for TCP ports

I'm currently fighting the syslog feed myself, putting it into Graylog (like @Sarge).

 

In our case, I'm running into the issue that the default syslog parser reads the timestamp as the source name, leading to a large amount of different sources (instead of the single Passwordstate), with thousands of messages all appearing at 01:14:34 (for example).

I got your PM last night, I'll check our Graylog and see if I'm seeing the same thing.

We stopped looking into the implementation of Graylog at the moment due to other ongoing projects; so it hasn't been visited this year.

@Sarge: Oof, that's a shame. Sorry to hear that! I'm currently running a PoC to try out a few logging platforms, and am definitely looking to push one through in the next two months.

In the latest build, we' provided the option where you can specify your own date/time format for Syslog messages - go to the screen Administration -> System Settings -> Proxy & Syslog Servers, and you will see it.

 

Ahh that's cool! For now I'm on a release from two months ago though, but I'm looking forward to the new features!

Hi Guys,

 

We had the following overnight from another customer who is now successfully using Greylog:

 

"However, there was no question. I find in Internet specyfication of toString  function and parameter format .
Timezone is zzz. I set Date Formatting to yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:sszzz and output is correct.
Thank you for solving the problem.
"
