Collect McAfee ESM logs

Supported in:

Google secops SIEM

This document explains how to ingest Trellix Enterprise Security Manager logs to Google Security Operations using the Bindplane agent.

Trellix Enterprise Security Manager (formerly McAfee ESM) is a security information and event management (SIEM) platform that provides real-time threat detection, correlation, and compliance monitoring. It collects, normalizes, and analyzes security event data from across the enterprise, enabling security teams to identify and respond to threats through centralized dashboards, advanced analytics, and automated alerting.

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 Trellix Enterprise Security Manager console

Get Google SecOps Ingestion Authentication File

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

Get Google SecOps customer ID

Sign in to the Google SecOps console.
Go to SIEM Settings > Profile.
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

Open the Command Prompt or PowerShell as an administrator.

Run the following command:

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

Linux Installation

Open a terminal with root or sudo privileges.

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, consult this installation guide.

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

Access the Configuration File:
- Locate the config.yaml file. Typically, it's in the /etc/bindplane-agent/ directory on Linux or in the installation directory on Windows.
- Open the file using a text editor (for example, nano, vi, or Notepad).

Edit the config.yaml file as follows:

receivers:
  tcplog:
    # 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: YOUR_CUSTOMER_ID_HERE
    endpoint: malachiteingestion-pa.googleapis.com
    # Add optional ingestion labels for better organization
    log_type: 'MCAFEE_ESM'
    raw_log_field: body
    ingestion_labels:

service:
  pipelines:
    logs/source0__chronicle_w_labels-0:
      receivers:
        - tcplog
      exporters:
        - chronicle/chronicle_w_labels

Replace the port and IP address as required in your infrastructure.
Replace YOUR_CUSTOMER_ID_HERE 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.
Update the endpoint value to match your tenant's region.

Restart the Bindplane Agent to apply the changes

To restart the Bindplane agent in Linux, run the following command:
```
sudo systemctl restart observiq-otel-collector
```
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 Trellix Enterprise Security Manager syslog forwarding

Sign in to the Trellix Enterprise Security Manager console.
Go to System Properties > Event Forwarding.
Click Add to create a new event forwarding destination.
In the Name field, enter a descriptive name (for example, Chronicle-Bindplane).
In the Destination section, provide the following configuration details:
- IP Address: Enter the IP address of the Bindplane agent host (for example, 192.168.1.100).
- Port: Enter 514 (or the port configured in Bindplane).
- Protocol: Select TCP.
- Format: Select Syslog (CEF or standard syslog format).
In the Filters section, select the event types and severity levels to forward:
- Select All Events to forward all events, or configure specific filters.
- Set the Severity threshold as needed (for example, 1-100 for all severity levels).
Enable the forwarding rule by selecting the Enabled check-box.
Click OK to save the configuration.
Click Apply to activate the event forwarding.
Verify that events are being forwarded by checking the Event Forwarding status in the ESM console.

Note: For more information, see the Trellix Enterprise Security Manager documentation.
