Collect Cynet 360 AutoXDR logs

Supported in:

This document explains how to ingest Cynet 360 AutoXDR logs to Google Security Operations using the Bindplane agent.

Before you begin

Make sure you have the following prerequisites:

  • A Google SecOps instance
  • A Windows 2016 or later or Linux host with systemd
  • If running behind a proxy, ensure firewall ports are open per the Bindplane agent requirements
  • Privileged access to the Cynet 360 AutoXDR management console

Get Google SecOps ingestion authentication file

  1. Sign in to the Google SecOps console.
  2. Go to SIEM Settings > Collection Agents.
  3. Download the Ingestion Authentication File.
  4. Save the file securely on the system where Bindplane will be installed.

Get Google SecOps customer ID

  1. Sign in to the Google SecOps console.
  2. Go to SIEM Settings > Profile.
  3. Copy and save the Customer ID from the Organization Details section.

Install the Bindplane agent

Install the Bindplane agent on your Windows or Linux operating system according to the following instructions.

Windows installation

  1. Open the Command Prompt or PowerShell as an administrator.

  2. Run the following command:

    msiexec /i "https://github.com/observIQ/bindplane-agent/releases/latest/download/observiq-otel-collector.msi" /quiet

Linux installation

  1. Open a terminal with root or sudo privileges.

  2. Run the following command:

    sudo sh -c "$(curl -fsSlL https://github.com/observiq/bindplane-agent/releases/latest/download/install_unix.sh)" install_unix.sh

Additional installation resources

For additional installation options, see the Bindplane agent installation guide.

Configure the Bindplane agent to ingest Syslog and send to Google SecOps

  1. Access the configuration file:

    • Locate the config.yaml file. Typically, it's in the /opt/observiq-otel-collector/ directory on Linux or in the installation directory on Windows.
    • Open the file using a text editor (for example, nano, vi, or Notepad).

  2. Edit the config.yaml file as follows:

    receivers:
  udplog:
    # Replace the port and IP address as required
    listen_address: "0.0.0.0:514"

exporters:
  chronicle/chronicle_w_labels:
    compression: gzip
    # Adjust the path to the credentials file you downloaded in Step 1
    creds_file_path: '/path/to/ingestion-authentication-file.json'
    # Replace with your actual customer ID from Step 2
    customer_id: <CUSTOMER_ID>
    endpoint: malachiteingestion-pa.googleapis.com
    # Add optional ingestion labels for better organization
    log_type: 'CYNET_360_AUTOXDR'
    raw_log_field: body
    ingestion_labels:

service:
  pipelines:
    logs/source0__chronicle_w_labels-0:
      receivers:
        - udplog
      exporters:
        - chronicle/chronicle_w_labels
    • Replace the port and IP address as required in your infrastructure.
    • Replace <CUSTOMER_ID> with the actual Customer ID.
    • Update /path/to/ingestion-authentication-file.json to the file path where the authentication file was saved in Step 1.

Restart the Bindplane agent to apply the changes

  1. To restart the Bindplane agent in Linux, run the following command:

    sudo systemctl restart observiq-otel-collector

  2. To restart the Bindplane agent in Windows, you can either use the Services console or enter the following command:

    net stop observiq-otel-collector && net start observiq-otel-collector

Configure Syslog forwarding on Cynet 360 AutoXDR

  1. Sign in to the Cynet 360 AutoXDR Management Console.
  2. Go to Settings > Configuration > SIEM Settings.
  3. Provide the following configuration details:
    • Transmission method: Select UDP.
    • IP address: Enter the Bindplane agent IP address.
    • Port: Enter the Bindplane agent port number (default is 514).
  4. Click Add.
  5. Go to Settings > Advanced.
  6. Select the Send Audit Records to SIEM checkbox.
  7. Save the configuration.
