3.7.3 Configuring the SYSLOGQ Filters
The Filters for SYSLOGQ actions in the default FILTERS file for SIEMs that can
receive data via TCP/IP are:
$SYSLOGQ-ALL-EVENTS-EXCEPT-EMS
$SYSLOGQ-EMS-EVENTS-ONLY
If you wish to transmit data to a SIEM via TCP/IP, set the ACTIONTYPE in your filters
to SYSLOGQ as follows:
ACTIONTYPE SYSLOGQ
You must also make sure that your SLSENDER Serverclass is configured and running
in your XMA Pathway. The SYSLOGQ server is configured via the Movers
Management Menu, option 18 (page 101).
1. Enter the IPALERT_PORT.
It is usually 514, but can be any number. Check with your SIEM administrator.
IPALERT_PORT 10.1.1.27
2.
Enter the IPALERT_PREFIX.
This keyword is optional. If present, it can be string text or a standard syslog prefix.
Check with your SIEM administrator to see if a certain prefix is required.
3. Enter the name of the NonStop server TCP/IP process that will send the syslog
message.
IPALERT_PROCESS $ZCT0
4.
Enter the IP address of the SIEM.
IPALERT_ADDRESS 10.1.1.27
5.
Enter the IPALERT_MSGDELIMITER.
This keyword is required. It determines the character to be inserted at the end of
each audit record. Check with your SIEM administrator to determine the value your
SIEM appliance requires. The valid values are: CR, LF, CRLF, and NULL.
IPALERT_MSGDELIMITER CR
6.
Test the parameters via the Movers Management Menu, option 16 (page 101).
XYGATEMA will send a test message to the SIEM to verify that parameters are
correct and that there are no firewall issues.
7. Change the status of one or both of the SYSLOGQ filters to ACTIVE.
XYGATEMA will start sending audit information to the SIEM.
