Integration of Elasticsearch Clients without Authentication and without TLS

Introduction Let’s say… you have a product that has some Elasticsearch output, which deals with parsing and indexes, and also comes with a nice dashboard, etc., and let’s suppose… you would like to use this built-in functionality. And let’s say… the product in question wants to connect to Elasticsearch in an unauthenticated manner over HTTP….

Configuring the New Fleet Server on Elastic 8

The Fleet Management feature was automatically enabled with NetEye release 4.30, and with the current 4.31 version all the Elastic Stack packages will be upgraded to major version 8. These two milestones will permit us to centrally manage log ingestion using the new Elastic Agents (the evolutions of Beats Agents) and forget all the custom…

Elasticsearch Snapshots and How to Monitor Them

If you have a NetEye with SIEM Module activated or own an Elasticsearch installation then you have surely activated the Elasticsearch Snapshots to make backups of all your indexes (or at least the important ones). However you have to take a regular look at your Snapshots Reports to check that everything is working correctly. I…

Bugfixes for NetEye 4.27, 4.26, 4.25: Elasticsearch License Renewal

The current Elasticsearch license bundled with NetEye will expire this January 31st. To continue enjoying all the SIEM functionalities you must update to the new license. An automatic update has been released for the most recent NetEye version. Older NetEye releases however, can be updated manually. In the case the health-check light/01004_elastic_license_check.sh is preventing you…

Syslog Collection with Elastic under Distributed NetEye Monitoring

Anyone who has joined the beautiful world of logging has collided, sooner or later, with the collection via syslog protocol. More than 40 years have passed since syslog was invented, and in that time there have been several attempts by the IETF to create a standard around this world (RFC 3164 and RFC 5424). Even…

Elasticsearch ML Models and Inference: Real-Time Classification

In a previous article, we explored the Machine Learning capabilities of Elasticsearch, which allowed us to apply anomaly detection techniques to our data, and helped us discover some really interesting facts as a result of our analysis. But can we take that idea even further? For instance, could we use data we’ve already collected to…

Elastic Transformations: How to Aggregate and Enrich Your Data

In a previous article I analyzed how you can create effective visualizations in Kibana, and how to apply machine learning jobs with the goal of extracting as much information as possible from our data. However, you can also think of data as a raw material, which sometimes needs to be transformed and manipulated before allowing…

Performance Metrics Collection from NetEye to Elastic

Today my objective is to collect the performance metrics from various NetEye Icinga checks and write them out to Elasticsearch so I can apply Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to identify potential anomalies. This is a task that’s not possible with the open-source version of InfluxDB installed in NetEye. Moreover, this data in Elastic is used…

Observing Events in Tornado with Elastic APM

Sometimes you’d just really like to have an overview of what happens to the Events that flow through Tornado. Where do they come from? Did they get stuck somewhere in the Collectors or in Tornado? Which Tornado Actions did they trigger? Gathering all this information from hundreds of log lines across different services (i.e., Tornado…

An Evaluation of Elastic EDR with APT Simulator

We decided to carry out an evaluation of Elastic’s EDR using the APT Simulator (https://github.com/NextronSystems/APTSimulator) tool. This tool is widely used within the cyber security community and is highly reputed, as it was developed by Florian Roth, who also created the Sigma Rule project. APT Simulator is a Windows Batch script that uses a set…

Real Time Log Signing on Fleet-managed Elastic Agents – A Preliminary Investigation

The R&D Team is currently working on the integration of the new Elastic Fleet management tool in NetEye 4. Once Elastic Fleet is fully integrated in NetEye 4, all of the Log Management features currently supported will also need to work with the Elastic Fleet. In particular, the integration of Elastic Fleet with the Log…

nBox to NetEye Elastic Module

A customer asked me to analyze their network flows, with a solution oriented towards using an nBox that collects NetFlow data from a router located away from the branch office, takes it in for analysis, and then sends it to a NetEye Elastic module, which act as an analysis console for that NetFlow data. The…
