Data source description

This collector extracts data from 3 log services available from Duo:

  • Administrator: Returns a list of administrator log events.

  • Authentication: Returns a paged list of authentication log events.

  • Telephony: Returns a list of telephony log events.

Authentication

Returns a paged list of authentication log events ranging from the last 180 days up to as recently as two minutes before the API request. There is an intentional two-minute delay in the availability of new authentications in the API response. Duo operates a large-scale distributed system, and this two-minute buffer period ensures that calls will return consistent results. Querying for results more recent than two minutes will return as empty.

API limits

  • Administrator:

    • Only the 1000 earliest events (maximum) will be returned with each page; the collector will be called multiple times to page through the entire log.

    • The recommended limit suggests requesting logs no more than once per minute.

  • Authentication:

    • Returns a paged list of authentication log events ranging from the last 180 days up to as recently as two minutes before the API request. There is an intentional two minute delay in availability of new authentications in the API response. Duo operates a large scale distributed system, and this two minute buffer period ensures that calls will return consistent results. Querying for results more recent than two minutes will return as empty.

    • The recommended limit suggests requesting logs no more than once per minute.

  • Telephony:

Rw ui steps macro
Rw step

Sign up for a Duo account. If you use a 30-day free Duo Advantage trial, this includes Admin API access.

Rw step

Log in to the Duo Admin Panel and navigate to Applications.

image-20240723-102041.png
Rw step

Click Protect an Application and locate the entry for Admin API in the applications list. Click Protect on the far right to configure the application and get your integration key, secret key, and API hostname. You'll need this information to complete your setup. See Protecting Applications for more information on protecting applications in Duo and additional application options.

image-20240723-102053.png
Rw step

Determine the permissions you want to grant to this Admin API application. Refer to the API endpoint descriptions throughout this document for information about required permissions for operations. For these logs, you will need Grant read log API permissions.

image-20240723-102114.png
Rw step

Optionally, specify which IP addresses or ranges are allowed to use this Admin API application in Networks for API Access. If you do not specify any IP addresses or ranges, this Admin API application may be accessed from any network.

The Admin API performs the IP check after verifying the authentication signature in a request. If you restrict the allowed networks for API access and see logged events for blocked Admin API requests from unrecognized unrecognised IP addresses, this may indicate a compromise of your Admin API application's secret key.

...

The security of your Duo application is tied to the security of your secret key (skey). Secure it as you would any sensitive credential. Don't share it with unauthorized individuals or email it to anyone under any circumstances!.

Connectivity requirements

This application communicates with Duo's service on SSL TCP port 443. Firewall configurations that restrict outbound access to Duo's service with rules using destination IP addresses or IP address ranges aren't recommended, since these may change over time to maintain our service's high availability. If your organization requires IP-based rules, please review Duo Knowledge Base article 1337. Effective June 30, 2023, Duo no longer supports TLS 1.0 or 1.1 connections or insecure TLS/SSL cipher suites. See Duo Knowledge Base article 7546 for additional guidance.

Run the collector

Once the data source is configured, you can either send us the required information if you want us to host and manage the collector for you (Cloud collector), or deploy and host the collector in your own machine using a Docker image (On-premise collector).

Rw ui tabs macro

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:

Collector services detail

This section is intended to explain how to proceed with specific actions for services.

For all the services

Devo categorization and destination

Please check the section Data Source Description to learn about the target tables for each service.

Restart the persistence

This collector uses persistent storage to download events in an orderly fashion and avoid duplicates. In case you want to re-ingest historical data or recreate the persistence, you can restart the persistence of this collector by following these steps:

  1. Edit the configuration file.

  2. Change the value of the start_datetime_utc_value to a different one.

  3. Save the changes.

  4. Restart the collector.

The collector will detect this change and will restart the persistence using the parameters of the configuration file or the default configuration in case it has not been provided.

Troubleshooting

This collector has different security layers that detect both an invalid configuration and abnormal operation. This table will help you detect and resolve the most common errors.

Event delivery and Devo ingestion

The event delivery module is in charge of receiving the events from the internal queues where all the events are injected by the pullers and delivering them using the selected compatible delivery method. A successful run has the following output messages for the initializer module:

Code Block

Sender services

The Integrations Factory Collector SDK has 3 different sender services depending on the event type to deliver (internal, standard, and lookup). This collector uses the following Sender Services:

Logging trace

Description

Number of available senders: 1

Displays the number of concurrent senders available for the given Sender Service.

Sender manager internal queue size: 0

Displays the items available in the internal sender queue.

This value helps detect bottlenecks and needs to increase the performance of data delivery to Devo. This last can be made by increasing the concurrent senders.

Total number of messages sent: 44, messages sent since "2022-06-28 10:39:22.511671+00:00": 21 (elapsed 0.007 seconds)

Displays the number of events from the last time the collector executed the pull logic. Following the given example, the following conclusions can be obtained:

  • 44 events were sent to Devo since the collector started.

  • The last checkpoint timestamp was 2022-06-28 10:39:22.511671+00:00.

  • 21 events were sent to Devo between the last UTC checkpoint and now.

  • Those 21 events required 0.007 seconds to be delivered.

By default, these traces will be shown every 10 minutes.

Sender statistics

Each service displays its performance statistics that allow checking how many events have been delivered to Devo by type:

Logging trace

Description

Number of available senders: 1

Displays the number of concurrent senders available for the given Sender Service.

Sender manager internal queue size: 0

Displays the items available in the internal sender queue.

Standard - Total number of messages sent: 57, messages sent since "2023-01-10 16:09:16.116750+00:00": 0 (elapsed 0.000 seconds

Displays the number of events from the last time the collector executed the pull logic. Following the given example, the following conclusions can be obtained:

  • 57 events were sent to Devo since the collector started.

  • The last checkpoint timestamp was 2023-01-10 16:09:16.116750+00:00.

  • 0 events were sent to Devo between the last UTC checkpoint and now.

  • Those 0 events required 0.00 seconds to be delivered.

Check memory usage

To check the memory usage of this collector, look for the following log records in the collector which are displayed every 5 minutes by default, always after running the memory-free process.

  • The used memory is displayed by running processes and the sum of both values will give the total used memory for the collector.

  • The global pressure of the available memory is displayed in the global value.

  • All metrics (Global, RSS, VMS) include the value before freeing and after previous -> after freeing memory

Code Block
  INFO InputProcess::MainThread -> [GC] global: 20.4% -> 20.4%, process: RSS(34.50MiB -> 34.08MiB), VMS(410.52MiB -> 410.02MiB)
