Here you will find the steps to filter this type of event:

Action

Steps

1

Activate Security Command Center service

Info

When SCC is activated, the events will go directly through the Logging service to the default sink. The following steps are optional but recommended to filter SCC events on another Pub/Sub.

In order to receive this type of event, it is necessary to have the Security Command Center service activated.

Refer to the Security Command Center Quickstart video from the Google guide.

2

Setting up a new topic

Refer to the Configuration of the Loggingsection to know how to do it.

3

Setting up a Pub/Sub

Refer to the Configuration of the Loggingsection to know how to do it.

4

Setting up a sink

Refer to the Configuration of the Loggingsection to know how to do it.

titleOn-premise collector

This data collector can be run in any machine that has the Docker service available because it should be executed as a docker container. The following sections explain how to prepare all the required setup for having the data collector running.

Structure

The following directory structure should be created for being used when running the collector:

Code Block
<any_directory>
└── devo-collectors/
    └── <product_name>/
        ├── certs/
        │   ├── chain.crt
        │   ├── <your_domain>.key
        │   └── <your_domain>.crt
        ├── state/
        └── config/ 
            └── config.yaml 
Note

Replace <product_name> with the proper value.

Devo credentials

In Devo, go to Administration → Credentials → X.509 Certificates, download the Certificate, Private key and Chain CA and save them in <product_name>/certs/. Learn more about security credentials in Devo here.

Note

Replace <product_name> with the proper value.

Data Type

Type

Value Range / Format

Details

short_unique_id

int

Mandatory

Minimum length: 1
Maximum length: 5

Use this param to give an unique id to this input service.

Note

This parameter is used to build the persistence address, do not use the same value for multiple collectors. It could cause a collision.

input_status

Download the Docker image

The collector should be deployed as a Docker container. Download the Docker image of the collector as a .tgz file by clicking the link in the following table:

Collector Docker image

SHA-256 hash

collector-gcp_collector-docker-image-1.45.0.tgz

cc1493d5a1c00d88e1aef13904a1e54ad082a14b19b0ba65d8eebabd324f4a007a75133fed4e89de782f8b7b04599fbd6f5ef8c2663789a52fec3493cd9f7d5f

Use the following command to add the Docker image to the system:

Code Block
gunzip -c <image_file>-<version>.tgz | docker load
Note

Once the Docker image is imported, it will show the real name of the Docker image (including version info). Replace <image_file> and <version> with a proper value.

The Docker image can be deployed on the following services:

Docker

Execute the following command on the root directory <any_directory>/devo-collectors/<product_name>/

Code Block
docker run 
--name collector-<product_name> 
--volume $PWD/certs:/devo-collector/certs 
--volume $PWD/config:/devo-collector/config 
--volume $PWD/state:/devo-collector/state 
--env CONFIG_FILE=config.yaml 
--rm 
--interactive 
--tty 
<image_name>:<version>
Note

Replace <product_name>, <image_name> and <version> with the proper values.

Docker Compose

The following Docker Compose file can be used to execute the Docker container. It must be created in the <any_directory>/devo-collectors/<product_name>/ directory.

Code Block
version: '3'
services:
  collector-<product_name>:
    image: <image_name>:${IMAGE_VERSION:-latest}
    container_name: collector-<product_name>
    volumes:
      - ./certs:/devo-collector/certs
      - ./config:/devo-collector/config
      - ./credentials:/devo-collector/credentials
      - ./state:/devo-collector/state
    environment:
      - CONFIG_FILE=${CONFIG_FILE:-config.yaml}

To run the container using docker-compose, execute the following command from the <any_directory>/devo-collectors/<product_name>/ directory:

Code Block
IMAGE_VERSION=<version> docker-compose up -d
Note

Replace <product_name>, <image_name> and <version> with the proper values.

Rw tab
titleCloud collector

We use a piece of software called Collector Server to host and manage all our available collectors.

To enable the collector for a customer:

  1. In the Collector Server GUI, access the domain in which you want this instance to be created

  2. Click Add Collector and find the one you wish to add.

  3. In the Version field, select the latest value.

  4. In the Collector Name field, set the value you prefer (this name must be unique inside the same Collector Server domain).

  5. In the sending method select Direct Send. Direct Send configuration is optional for collectors that create Table events, but mandatory for those that create Lookups.

  6. In the Parameters section, establish the Collector Parameters as follows below:
