5. PING the SIEM.
a. At TACL do info define * to look for the define for the current TCP/IP
process. If the TCP/IP process is not the same as the one configured in the
IPALERT/SYSLOGQ Filters, then set the define for your current session to the
IPALERT/SYSLOGQ’s TCP/IP process.
b. To change the DEFINE to point to the IPALERT/SYSLOGQ’s TCPIP process:
$$DATA04.XYGATEMA 21> alter define =tcpip^process^name,file $ztc2
c.
PING the log warehouse:
$$DATA04.XYGATEMA 22> ping 10.1.1.27
PING 10.1.1.83: 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 10.1.1.27: icmp_seq=0. time=29. ms
64 bytes from 10.1.1.27: icmp_seq=1. time=10. ms
64 bytes from 10.1.1.27: icmp_seq=2. time=10. ms
64 bytes from 10.1.1.27: icmp_seq=3. time=10. ms
----10.1.1.83 PING Statistics----
4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip (ms) min/avg/max = 10/14/29
$$DATA04.XYGATEMA 23>
This test shows that the XYGATEMA is sending data to a valid address (the log
warehouse) via a valid TCP/IP process.
6. Sniffthe messages going to the SIEM.
If possible, use a sniffer program to see if the messages are being sent from the
NonStop server. If they are, then you will have to troubleshoot on the SIEM to see
why the messages are not being received or not being processed.
3.7.5 Parsing XMA SYSLOG Messages
You can provide the following information to aid the programmers who will parse the
XMA SYSLOG messages into off-box audit warehouse systems such as
RSA enVision
®
and LogLogic
®
.
A spreadsheet obtained by sending the output of an XRM report that includes audit
information from all the products in use at your site.
The order and content of the tokens being sent to the log warehouse (refer to the
table below).
The relationship of the tokens to the column titles in the spreadsheet created.
You can also place the Test FILTERS (TFILTERS) file, provided in the XYGATEMA
subvolume, in place for a period of time so that the programmers can test their
parsing.
