IBM QRadar SIEM
IBM QRadar Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) collects event data and uses analytics, correlation, and threat intelligence features to identify known or potential threats, provide alerting and reports, and aid in incident investigations. For more information, see IBM QRadar SIEM on IBM.com.
NXLog Agent can be configured to collect events and forward them to QRadar SIEM. This chapter provides information about setting up this integration, both for generic structured logs and for several specific log types. The last section shows output examples for forwarding the processed logs to QRadar.
Setting up the QRadar appliance
Several tasks may be required to prepare IBM QRadar for receiving events from NXLog Agent.
QRadar dependencies and system configuration
-
The WinCollect agent SFS bundle may need to be installed in order to provide parsing capabilities for the specific log types documented below. See Installing and upgrading the WinCollect application on QRadar appliances in the IBM QRadar documentation.
-
To parse DNS Server Debug logs, the Microsoft DNS Device Support Module (DSM) package must be installed on the QRadar appliance. Look for the
QRADAR-DSM-MicrosoftDNSpackage on IBM Fix Central. -
To send logs to QRadar using TLS, the TLS Syslog protocol must be installed. Look for the
QRADAR-PROTOCOL-TLSSyslogpackage on IBM Fix Central. -
Some events may exceed QRadar’s default Syslog payload length. Consider setting the maximum payload length to 8,192 bytes. For instructions, see QRadar: How to increase the maximum TCP payload size for event data on IBM Support.
-
The QRadar appliance should be fully updated with recent patches and fixes.
Adding a TLS Syslog log source
Events can be sent to QRadar securely with TLS. With these instructions, NXLog Agent will verify the authenticity of the QRadar receiver and encrypt event data in transit. This requires that appropriate certificates be created and a separate TLS Syslog "listener" log source be added on QRadar.
This log source will act as a gateway, passing each event on to another matching log source. Only one TLS listener is required per port; see Multiple log sources over TLS syslog in the IBM QRadar documentation.
First, prepare the TLS certificate and key files:
-
Locate a certificate authority (CA) certificate and private key, or generate and sign a new one. The CA certificate (for example,
rootCA.pem) will be used by NXLog Agent to authenticate the QRadar receiver in Forwarding logs below. -
Create a certificate and private key for QRadar TLS Syslog (for example,
server.crtandserver.key). -
Convert the QRadar private key to a DER-encoded PKCS8 key (see QRadar: TLS Syslog support of DER-encoded PKCS8 custom certificates):
$ openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -inform PEM -outform DER -in server.key \ -out server.key.der -nocrypt -
Copy the private key and certificate files to QRadar (the steps below assume the files are copied to
/root/server.*).
Then add the log source on QRadar:
-
In the QRadar web interface, go to Menu > Admin > Data Sources > Events > Log Sources.
-
Click Add to add a new log source. The Add a log source window appears.
-
Enter a Log Source Name and, optionally, a Log Source Description.
-
For the Log Source Type, select Universal DSM.
-
For the Protocol Configuration, select TLS Syslog.
-
As the Log Source Identifier, enter the source device IP address or hostname. For multiple log sources, any identifier can be used here.
-
For Certificate Type, select Provide Certificate.
-
Set Provided Server Certificate Path to the path of the server certificate (for example,
/root/server.crt). -
Set Provided Private Key Path to the path of the DER-encoded server key (for example,
/root/server.key.der). -
Select the Target Event Collector. Use this to poll for and process events using the specified event collector, rather than on the Console appliance.
-
Make any other changes required, and then click Save.
-
Go to Menu > Admin and click Advanced > Deploy Full Configuration after making all required log source changes.
Adding a QRadar log source
Follow these steps to add a new log source to QRadar SIEM. This will need to be done once for each log source, using the correct Log Source Type for each.
-
In the QRadar web interface, go to Menu > Admin > Data Sources > Events > Log Sources.
-
Click Add to add a new log source. The Add a log source window appears.
-
Enter a Log Source Name and, optionally, a Log Source Description.
-
Select a Log Source Type. Consult the sections below for the correct log type to use for each source.
-
For the Protocol Configuration, select Syslog.
-
As the Log Source Identifier, enter the source system’s IP address.
The Syslog hostname field is used by QRadar as the log source identifier to associate events with a particular log source when received. This value can be adjusted by changing the $Hostname = host_ip();line in the examples below: keep the line as-is to use the system’s first non-loopback IP address, remove the line to use the system hostname, or set the line to a custom value (for example,$Hostname = "myhostname";). -
Select the Target Event Collector. Use this to poll for and process events using the specified event collector, rather than on the Console appliance.
-
Make any other changes required, and then click Save.
-
Go to Menu > Admin and click Advanced > Deploy Full Configuration after making all required log source changes.
Sending generic structured logs to QRadar
NXLog Agent can be configured to send generic structured logs to QRadar using Log Event Extended Format (LEEF). The xm_leef to_leef() procedure will generate LEEF events using certain NXLog Agent fields for the event header and all remaining fields as event attributes.
LEEF has several predefined event attributes that should be used where
applicable—see LEEF event components and Predefined LEEF event attributes on IBM Knowledge Center. These fields can be set during
parsing, set to static values manually ($usrName =
"john";), renamed using the rename_field()
directive, or renamed using the xm_rewrite
Rename directive. Additionally,
to_leef() will set several predefined attributes
automatically.
Use Universal LEEF as QRadar’s Log Source Type. Once LEEF events have been received by QRadar, specific fields can be selected for extraction as described in the IBM QRadar documentation on Writing an expression for structured data in LEEF format. LEEF events can also be mapped to QRadar Identifiers (QIDs). For more information, see the Universal LEEF section in the QRadar DSM Guide.
Example 1. Sending LEEF logs to QRadar
This example reads syslog messages from a file, parses them, and sets some
additional fields. Then the xm_leef to_leef()
procedure is used to convert the event to LEEF (and write it to the
$raw_event field). Because the event is converted in the scope of this input
instance, it is not necessary to do additional processing in the corresponding
output instance—see Forwarding logs for output examples that could be
used to send the events to QRadar.
| This example is intended as a starting point for a configuration that provides a specific set of fields to QRadar. For logs that are already structured, it may only be necessary to rename a few fields according to the predefined LEEF attribute names. |

To take full advantage of QRadar’s parsing of specific log types, NXLog Agent can be configured to send logs using the specific format expected by the corresponding QRadar DSM. In each case, events are collected, parsed, and converted to a tab-delimited key-value pair format that QRadar expects.
Microsoft DHCP Server
To send DHCP Server audit log events to QRadar SIEM, set up DHCP Audit Logging and use the NXLog Agent configuration shown below. If QRadar does not auto-discover the log source, add one manually. The Log Source Type should be set to Microsoft DHCP Server and the Protocol Configuration should be set to Syslog—see Adding a QRadar log source.
For more information, see DHCP server audit logging and the Microsoft DHCP Server page in the QRadar DSM Guide.
Example 2. Sending Windows DHCP logs to QRadar
In this example, NXLog Agent is configured to read logs from the following paths:
-
C:\Windows\System32\dhcp\DhcpSrvLog-*.log -
C:\Windows\System32\dhcp\DhcpV6SrvLog-*.log
NXLog Agent parses the events and converts the structured data for forwarding to QRadar.

To send DNS debug log events to QRadar, enable debug logging and use the NXLog Agent configuration shown below.
| Do not enable Details in the DNS Server Debug Logging dialog. |
If QRadar does not auto-discover the log source, add one manually. The Log Source Type should be set to Microsoft DNS Debug and the Protocol Configuration should be set to Syslog—see Adding a QRadar log source. If the Microsoft DNS Debug log source type is not available, see Setting up the QRadar appliance above.
For more information, see Windows DNS Server and the Microsoft DNS Debug page in the QRadar DSM Guide.

Microsoft Exchange Server logs can be collected and sent to QRadar SIEM as shown below.
QRadar does not support auto-discovery for Exchange logs, so it is necessary to add a log source manually. The Log Source Type should be set to Microsoft Exchange Server and the Protocol Configuration should be set to Syslog—see Adding a QRadar log source.
For more information, see the Microsoft Exchange chapter and the Microsoft Exchange Server pages in the QRadar DSM Guide.
Example 4. Sending Exchange logs to QRadar
The following configuration uses the im_file module to read message tracking, Outlook web access (OWA), and SMTP logs from various paths. The logs are parsed and converted for forwarding to QRadar.
Make sure to use the correct ID for the Exchange Back End site. This can
be verified using the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. The
following example collects logs from the site with ID 2 (W3SVC2/).

If QRadar does not auto-discover the log source, add one manually. The Log Source Type should be set to Microsoft SQL Server and the Protocol Configuration should be set to Syslog—see Adding a QRadar log source.
For configuration information, see the Microsoft SQL Server section in the QRadar DSM Guide.
Example 6. Sending Microsoft SQL logs to QRadar
This example reads and parses events from the SQL Server log file, then converts the events to a tab-delimited format for QRadar.

To send Windows logs to QRadar, use the im_msvistalog module and convert the events to a tab-delimited key-value pair format supported by the corresponding QRadar DSM.
| This format is recommended instead of Snare or Log Event Extended Format (LEEF) to take full advantage of the parsing provided by the QRadar DSM. Otherwise additional parsing and/or mappings would be required to translate Windows event fields to QRadar fields. |
If QRadar does not auto-discover the log source, add one manually. The Log Source Type should be set to Microsoft Windows Security Event Log and the Protocol Configuration should be set to Syslog—see Adding a QRadar log source.
For more information, see the Windows Event Log chapter and the Microsoft Windows Security Event Log section in the QRadar DSM Guide.
Example 7. Sending Windows events to QRadar
This configuration will collect events from Windows Event Log using
im_msvistalog, convert the $Message field to a specific
tab-delimited format, and add a BSD Syslog header with xm_syslog.
| This example does not filter events, but forwards all events to QRadar. Only a subset of those events will be recognized and parsed by the QRadar DSM. For more information about using Windows Event Log queries to limit collected events, see Windows Event Log. |

To send Event Tracing for Windows logs to QRadar, use the im_etw module and convert the events to a tab-delimited key-value pair format supported by the corresponding QRadar DSM. Logs can be collected from different ETW channels and the configuration requirements depend on the log source. The examples below demonstrate how to collect Microsoft DHCP Server, Microsoft DNS Server, and Microsoft IIS logs.
If QRadar does not auto-discover the log source, add one manually. The Log Source Type should be set to Microsoft Windows Security Event Log and the Protocol Configuration should be set to Syslog—see Adding a QRadar log source.
For more information, see the QRadar DSM Guide on Microsoft Windows Security Event Log.
Microsoft DHCP Server logs
To collect DHCP Server logs, ensure that the DHCP-Server channels are
enabled in Event Viewer. See DHCP server logs in Windows Event Log
for instructions. The Analytics and Admin channels should be enabled.

The processing order of the policy is 6.Microsoft DNS Server logs
DNS Server logs can be collected from the DNS-Server/Analytical channel.
There are 23 event IDs you can collect from this channel, providing
essential information for analysis and correlation. See the complete list of
Analytic events
in the Microsoft documentation.
No additional packages need to be installed on the IBM Qradar appliance,
however the Microsoft Windows Security Event Log DSM (DSM-MicrosoftWindows-7.x)
must be available to parse Windows events. Additionally, processing needs to
be done in the NXLog Agent configuration to output events in a format that
can be parsed by this DSM.
| Since events from the Audit channel are not processed by IBM Qradar, the example configuration below only collects events from the Analytical channel. |

Microsoft IIS needs to be configured to output logs to ETW. See Configuring logging in the Microsoft IIS chapter for instructions. The Log Event Destination should be set to ETW event only.
To parse Microsoft IIS logs, the Microsoft Internet Information Services
(IIS) Server DSM must be installed on the QRadar appliance. Look for
DSM-MicrosofIIS-7.x under Admin > Auto Update.
Example 10. Sending IIS logs to QRadar
nxlog.conf
<Extension syslog>
Module xm_syslog
</Extension>
<Input iis>
Module im_etw
Provider Microsoft-Windows-IIS-Logging

Use an output instance to forward the processed logs to QRadar SIEM. The
configurations shown here can be used with any of the above input instances.
Because all event formatting is done in the input instances above, the output
instances here do not require any Exec directives (the
$raw_event field is passed without any further modification).
Example 11. Forwarding logs via TCP
This om_tcp instance sends logs to QRadar via TCP. In this example, events are sent from the Microsoft IIS and Windows Event Log sources.
nxlog.conf
<Output qradar>
Module om_tcp
Host 10.0.0.2
Port 514
</Output>
<Route r>
Path iis, eventlog => qradar
</Route>Forwarding logs with TLS requires adding a TLS Syslog listener, as described in Adding a TLS Syslog log source above. The root certificate authority (CA) certificate, which is used to verify the authenticity of the QRadar receiver’s certificate, should be provided to om_ssl with either CADir or CAFile.
Example 12. Forwarding logs with TLS
In this example, the om_ssl module is used to send logs to QRadar securely, with TLS encryption.
nxlog.conf
<Output qradar>
Module om_ssl
Host 10.0.0.2
Port 6514
CAFile C:\Program Files\cert\rootCA.pem
</Output>
