Configuring the Azure Sentinel destination: Advanced message parameters

This section describes configuring the advanced message parameters of the Azure Sentinel destination after configuring the authentication and workspace settings.

For information about adding a new Azure Sentinel destination, see Configuring the Azure Sentinel destination: adding a new Azure Sentinel destination.

For information about configuring the performance-related settings of your Azure Sentinel destination, see Configuring the Azure Sentinel destination: Performance-related settings.

NOTE: This section and the other Azure Sentinel-related sections in this documentation are based on Azure Sentinel messaging service concepts and terminology. If you do not use the Azure Sentinel messaging service on a regular basis, One Identity recommends that you read the Azure Sentinel quick-start documentation to familiarize yourself with the messaging service's concepts and terminology before you continue reading these sections.

To configure the advanced message parameters of your Azure Sentinel destination

  1. Navigate to Log > Destination > <your-sentinel-destination> > Advanced message parameters.

    Figure 180: Log > Destinations > <your-sentinel-destination> — Configuring the advanced message parameters

  2. To customize the message format sent to Azure Sentinel, specify the name-value pairs of the outgoing message in JSON format in the Body field.

    CAUTION: Hazard of data loss!

    Make sure that the customized message format is accepted by Azure Sentinel. For invalid messages, SSB will receive an HTTP 400 response code and messages with such a response code will be dropped.

    For more information on dropping messages with HTTP 400 response code, see Limitations.

    For more information on the $(format-json) template function, see Manipulating messages > Customizing message format using macros and templates > Template functions of syslog-ng PE in the syslog-ng PE Administration Guide.

  3. In the Log type field, enter Syslog_CL.

    NOTE: For more information about log types on the Azure Sentinel side, and how they connect to the functionalities of the syslog-ng Premium Edition (syslog-ng PE) application (and, as a result, to SSB), see Log types in the syslog-ng PE Administration Guide.

Configuring the Azure Sentinel destination: Performance-related settings

This section describes configuring the performance-related settings of the Azure Sentinel destination after configuring the authentication and workspace settings and the advanced message parameters.

For more information about adding a new Azure Sentinel destination, see Configuring the Azure Sentinel destination: adding a new Azure Sentinel destination.

NOTE: This section and the other Azure Sentinel-related sections in this documentation are based on Azure Sentinel messaging service concepts and terminology. If you do not use the Azure Sentinel messaging service on a regular basis, One Identity recommends that you read the Azure Sentinel quick-start documentation to familiarize yourself with the messaging service's concepts and terminology before you continue reading these sections.

To configure the performance-related settings of your Azure Sentinel destination

  1. Navigate to Log > Destination > <your-sentinel-destination> > Performance-related settings.

    Figure 181: Log > Destinations > <your-sentinel-destination> — Configuring the performance-related settings

  2. In the Number of workers field, set the number of worker threads that you want SSB to use when sending messages to the server.

    CAUTION: Hazard of data loss!

    When you use more than one worker threads together with disk-buffering enabled, consider that the syslog-ng PE application behind SSB creates a separate disk-buffer file for each worker thread. This means that decreasing the number of workers can result in losing data currently stored in the disk-buffer files.

    To avoid data loss, One Identity recommends that you do not decrease the number of workers when the disk-buffer files are in use.

    NOTE: Increasing the number of worker threads can drastically improve the performance of the destination.

  3. In the Timeout field, specify the timeout (in seconds) that you want SSB to wait for an operation to complete, and attempt to reconnect to the server if the configured timeout limit is exceeded.

    The default value of the Timeout setting is 0, which means that it is disabled by default.

  4. In the Batch lines field, specify how many lines you want SSB to flush to a destination in one batch.

    NOTE: SSB waits for the configured number of lines to accumulate, and when this number is reached, SSB sends the message lines to the destination in a single batch. For example, if you set Batch lines to 100, SSB waits for 100 message lines before sending them in one batch.

    NOTE: Consider the following when configuring the number of batch lines:

    • Increasing the number of batch lines increases throughput (because more messages are sent in a single batch), but also increases message latency.

    • If the Batch-timeout option is disabled, the syslog-ng PE application behind SSB flushes the messages if it has sent the number of messages specified in Batch lines, or the queue became empty. If you stop or reload the syslog-ng PE application behind SSB, or if in case of network sources, the connection with the client is closed, the syslog-ng PE behind SSB automatically sends the unsent messages to the destination.

    • If the Batch-timeout option is enabled and the queue becomes empty, SSB flushes the messages only if Batch timeout expires, or if the batch reaches the limit set in Batch lines.

    NOTE: Depending on your source configuration settings, your batch may not reach the Batch lines limit before your queue becomes empty, and SSB forwards your messages.

  5. In the Batch-bytes field, set the maximum size of payload in a batch (in bytes).

    NOTE: When configuring Batch-bytes, consider the following:

    • If the size of the messages reaches this value, the syslog-ng PE application behind SSB sends the batch to Azure Sentinel even if the number of messages is less than the value you configure in the Batch-bytes field.

    • If Batch-timeout is enabled and the queue becomes empty, SSB flushes the messages only if the value specified in Batch-timeout expires, or if the message batch reaches the limit set in the Batch-bytes field.

  6. (Optional) Select Batch-timeout, and in the Batch-timeout value field, specify the time SSB waits for Batch lines to accumulate in the output buffer.

    SSB sends batches to the destinations evenly. The timer starts when the first message arrives to the buffer, so if only few messages arrive, SSB sends messages to the destination once every Batch timeout milliseconds at most.

Forwarding log messages to Google Pub/Sub

This section describes how to forward messages from syslog-ng Store Box (SSB) to the Google Pub/Sub messaging service (Google Pub/Sub).

From version 6.7.0, SSB uses the syslog-ng Premium Edition (syslog-ng PE) application’s support to generate your own messaging Google Pub/Sub infrastructure with syslog-ng PE as a “Publisher” entity, utilizing the HTTP REST interface of the service. The Google Pub/Sub destination is an asynchronous messaging service connected to Google’s infrastructure.

For more information about Google Pub/Sub’s messaging service, see What Is Pub/Sub? in the Google Pub/Sub online documentation.

NOTE: This section and the other Google Pub/Sub-related sections in this documentation are based on Google Pub/Sub messaging service concepts and terminology. If you do not use the Google Pub/Sub messaging service on a regular basis, One Identity recommends that you read the Google Pub/Sub overview documentation in the Google Pub/Sub online documentation to familiarize yourself with the messaging service's concepts and terminology before you continue reading these sections.
