Devo recommends using the AWS SQS collector instead of the AWS collector. SQS improves ease of use, reliability, and performance.

Overview

Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides on-demand cloud computing platforms and APIs to individual companies. Each available AWS service generates information related to different aspects of its functionality. The available data types include service events, audit events, metrics, and logs.

You can use the AWS collector to retrieve data from the AWS APIs and send it to your Devo domain. Once the gathered information arrives at Devo, it will be processed and included in different tables in the associated Devo domain so users can analyze it.

To run this collector, there are some configurations detailed below that you need to consider:

Configuration	Details
Credentials	There are several available options to define credentials.
Service events	All the service events that are generated on AWS are managed by Cloudwatch. However, Devo’s AWS collector offers two different services that collect Cloudwatch events: `sqs-cloudwatch-consumer` - This service is used to collect Security Hub events. `service-events-all` -This service is used to collect events from the rest of the services on AWS.
Audit events	For the S3+SQS approach (setting types as audits_s3) some previous configuration is required.
Logs	Logs can be collected from different services. Depending on the type, some previous setups must be applied on AWS.

More information

Refer to the Vendor setup section to know more about these configurations.

If you need to pull global service events created by CloudFront, IAM and AWS STS, US regions will need to be enabled within the collector. For more information, see Viewing CloudTrail events with the AWS CLI and Using update-trail.

Service events	The different available services in AWS usually generate some information related to their internal behaviors, such as "a virtual machine has been started", "a new file has been created in an S3 bucket" or "an AWS lambda function has been invoked" and this kind of event can be triggered by no human interaction. The service events are managed by the `CloudWatch Events` service (`CWE`), recently AWS has created a new service called `Amazon EventBridge` that tends to replace the `CWE` service. The findings detected by `AWS Security Hub` are also managed by `CloudWatch Events (CWE)`.	`ReceiveMessage` ReceiveMessage - Amazon Simple Queue Service	Generic events: `service-events-all` Security Hub events: `sqs-cloudwatch-consumer`	Generic events: If `auto_event_type` parameter in config file is not set or set to `false`: `cloud.aws.cloudwatch.events` If `auto_event_type` parameter in config file is set to `true`: `cloud.aws.cloudwatch.{event_type}` Security Hub events: `cloud.aws.securityhub.findings`	`-`
Audit events	This kind of event is more specific because they are triggered by a human interaction no matter the different ways used: API, web interaction, or even the CLI console. The audit events are managed by the `CloudTrail` service. There are two ways to read Audit events: API: using CloudTrail API. This way is slower, but it can retrieve data back in time. S3+SQS: forwarding CloudTrail data to an S3 bucket and reading from there through a SQS queue. This way is much faster, but it only can retrieve elements since the creation of the S3+SQS pipeline.	Via API: `LookupEvents` LookupEvents - AWS CloudTrail Via S3+SQS: `ReceiveMessage` ReceiveMessage - Amazon Simple Queue Service	`audit-events-all`	If `auto_event_type` parameter in config file is not set or set to `false`: `cloud.aws.cloudtrail.events` If `auto_event_type` parameter in config file is set to `true`: `cloud.aws.cloudtrail.{event_type}`	`-`
Metrics	According to the standard definition, this kind of information is usually generated at the same moment is requested because it is usually a query about the status of a service (all things inside AWS are considered services). AWS makes something slightly different because what is doing is to generate metrics information every N time slots, such as 1 min, 5 min, 30 min, 1h, etc., even if no one makes a request (also is possible to have information every X seconds but this would require extra costs). The metrics are managed by the `CloudWatch Metrics` service (`CWM`).	`ListMetrics` ListMetrics - Amazon CloudWatch After listing the metrics, `GetMetricData` and `GetMetricStatistics` are also called. GetMetricData - Amazon CloudWatch GetMetricStatistics - Amazon CloudWatch	`metrics-all`	`cloud.aws.cloudwatch.metrics`	`-`
Logs	Logs could be defined as information with a non-fixed structure that is sent to one of the available “logging” services, these services are `CloudWatch Logs` and `S3`. There are some very customizable services, such as `AWS Lambda`, or even any developed application which is deployed inside an AWS virtual machine (`EC2`), that can generate custom log information, this kind of information is managed by the `CloudWatch Logs` service (`CWL`) and also by the `S3` service. There are also some other services that can generate logs with a fixed structure, such as `VPC Flow Logs` or `CloudFront Logs`. These kinds of services require one special way of collecting their data.	`DescribeLogStreams` DescribeLogStreams - Amazon CloudWatch Logs	Logs can be: Managed by Cloudwatch: This is a custom service that is activated using service `custom_service` and including the type `logs` into the `types` parameter in the config file. Not managed by Cloudwatch: Use `non-cloudwatch-logs` service and include the required type (`flowlogs` for VPC Flow Logs and/or `cloudfrontlogs` for CloudFront Logs) into the `types` parameter in the config file.	Managed by Cloudwatch: `cloud.aws.cloudwatch.logs` Not managed by Cloudwatch: VPC Flow Logs: If `auto_event_type` parameter in config file is set to `true`: `cloud.aws.vpc.unknown` If `auto_event_type` parameter in config file is set to `true`: `cloud.aws.vpc.{event_type}` CloudFront Logs: If `auto_event_type` parameter in config file is set to `true`: `cloud.aws.cloudfront.unknown` If `auto_event_type` parameter in config file is set to `true`: `cloud.aws.cloudfront.{event_type}`	`-`
AWS GuardDuty	AWS GuardDuty is a managed threat detection service that continuously monitors for malicious activity and unauthorized behavior to protect your AWS accounts, workloads, and data stored in Amazon S3. Data Sources: GuardDuty ingests and processes data from AWS CloudTrail logs, VPC Flow Logs, and DNS logs Findings: When a potential threat is detected, GuardDuty generates a finding. These findings provide details about the activity, including the affected resources, type of threat, and suggested remediation actions. We are using API to get findings of GuardDuty service.	What is Amazon GuardDuty? - Amazon GuardDuty	`aws-guardduty`	`cloud.aws.guardduty.findings`	`v1.10.0`
Cisco Umbrella [Non-AWS service]	Cisco Umbrella is a cloud-driven Secure Internet Gateway (SIG) that leverages insights gained through the analysis of various logs, including DNS logs, IP logs, and Proxy logs, to provide a first line of defense. DNS logs record all DNS queries that are made through the Cisco Umbrella DNS resolvers. These logs contain data about the DNS queries originating from your network, requested domain names and the IP address of the requester. IP logs capture all IP-based communications that occur through the network. These logs store details such as the source and destination IP addresses, ports and protocols used. Proxy logs are generated when users access web resources through the Cisco Umbrella intelligent proxy. They contain detailed information on the web traffic including the URL accessed, the method of access (GET, POST, etc.), the response status, etc	Via S3+SQS: `ReceiveMessage` ReceiveMessage - Amazon Simple Queue Service	`cisco-umbrella`	`sig.cisco.umbrella.dns` `sig.cisco.umbrella.ip` `sig.cisco.umbrella.proxy`	`v1.6.0`

Vendor setup

There are some minimal requirements to set up this collector:

AWS console access: Credentials are required to access the AWS console.
Owner or Administrator permissions within the AWS console, or the fill access to configure AWS services.

Some manual actions are necessary in order to get all the required information or services and allow Devo to gather information from AWS. The following sections describe how to get the required AWS credentials and how to proceed with the different required setups depending on the gathered information type.

Credentials

It’s recommended to have available or create the following IAM policies before the creation of the IAM user that will be used for the AWS collector.

Some collector services require the creation of some IAM policies before creating the IAM user that will be used for the AWS collector. The following table contains the details about the policies that could be used by the AWS collector:

All the previous policies are defined to be AWS region agnostic, which means, that they will be valid for any AWS region.

Depending on which source types are collected, one or more of the policies described above will be used. Once the required policies are created, each one must be associated with an IAM user. To create it, visit the AWS Console and log in with a user account with enough permissions to create and access AWS structures:

Go to IAM → Users.
Click Add users button.
Enter the required value in the filed User name.
Enable the checkbox Access key - Programmatic access.
Click on Next: Tags button.
Click on Next: Review button.
Click on Create user button.
The Access Key ID and Secret Key will show. Click Download.csv button and save it.

It is best practice to assume roles that are granted just the required privileges to perform an action. If the customer does not want to use their own AWS use to perform these actions required by the collector - because it has far more privileges than required - they can use this option. Note that this option requires the use of AWS account credentials. To avoid sharing those credentials, check the Cross Account section below.

Then the customer must attach the required policies to AWS to the role that is going to be assumed.

Go to IAM → Roles.
Click on Create role button.
In the Trusted entity type, select AWS account and then select This account (123456789012).
Add the required policies.
Give a name to the role.
Click on Create role.

You should also add authentication credentials to the configuration. Add the next fields into the configuration:

access_key: This is the Access Key ID provided by AWS during the user creation process.
access_secret: This is the Secret Access Key provided by AWS during the user creation process.
base_assume_role: This is the ARN of the role that is going to be assumed by the user authenticated with the parameters above, access_key and access_secret. This role has to be properly granted to allow the actions that the collector is going to perform.

These fields need to be in the credentials and are required to use this authentication method:

...,
"credentials":{
  "access_key": "<CUSTOMER_AWS_ACCOUNT_ACCESS_KEY>",
  "access_secret": "<CUSTOMER_AWS_ACCOUNT_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>",
  "base_assume_role": "arn:aws:iam::<CUSTOMER_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>:role/<ROLE_TO_BE_ASSUMED>"
}
...,

In case you don't want to share your credentials with Devo, you should add some parameters to the configuration file. In the credentials section, instead. of sharing access_key and access_secret. Follow these steps to allow this authentication:

Prepare the environment to allow Devo’s cloud collector server to assume roles cross-account.
Add ARNs for each role into the configuration:
- base_assume_role: This is the ARN of the role that is going to be assumed by the profile bound to the machine/instance where the collector is running. This role already exists in Devo's AWS account and its value must be: arn:aws:iam::837131528613:role/devo-xaccount-cs-role *
- target_assume_role: This is the ARN of the role in the AWS account. This role allows the collector to have access to the resources specified in this role. To keep your data secure, please, use policies that grant just the necessary permissions.
- assume_role_external_id : This is an optional parameter to add more security to this Cross Account operation. This value should be a string added to the request to assume the customer’s role.

*New role

If you’re deploying your collector using the Cloud collector app, you should use the following role instead of the one above:

arn:aws:iam::476382791543:role/devo-xaccount-cc

For more information, please contact us.

Credentials

This authentication method has not shared credentials. This fields needs to be in the credentials and are all required, except assume_role_external_id which is optional:

...,
"credentials":{
  "base_assume_role": "arn:aws:iam::<BASE_SYSTEM_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>:role/<BASE_SYSTEM_ROLE>",
  "target_assume_role": "arn:aws:iam::<CUSTOMER_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>:role/<CUSTOMER_ROLE_TO_BE_ASSUMED>",
  "assume_role_external_id": "<OPTIONAL__ANY_STRING_YOU_WANT>"
}
...,

Service Events

Cloudwatch manages all the service events that have been generated on AWS. However, Devo’s AWS Collector offers two different services that collect Cloudwatch Events:

sqs-cloudwatch-consumer: This service is used to collect Security Hub events.
service-events-all: This service is used to collect events from the rest of the services on AWS

Service events

Some previous configurations are required if you want to use any of these services. The AWS services generate service events per region, so the following instructions should be applied in each region where the collecting information is required. There are some structures that you need to create for collecting these service events: FIFO queue in the SWS service and Rule+Target in the CloudWatch service.

If you want to create them manually, click on each one to follow the steps.

Go to Simple Queue Service and click on Create queue.
In the Details section. Choose FIFO queue type and set the name field value you prefer. It must end with .fifo suffix.
In the Configuration section. Set the Message retention period field value to 5 days. Be sure that Content-based deduplication checkbox is marked.
In the Access policy section. Choose method Basic and choose Only the queue owner for receiving and sending permissions.
Optional step. Create one tag with Key usedby and value devo-collector.
Click on Create queue.

Go to EventBridge, expand Evvents in the left-menu side and click on Rules.
In the Defined rule detail section, fill the required data and select the Rule type called Rule with an event pattern.
In the Build event pattern section, select All events.*
In the Select Target section, select AWS target as a target type and fill the SQS queue information. In the Message group ID write devo-collector.
Optional step. Configure tags section.
In the Review and create section, just check the different sections and once everything is correct, click on Create rule.

( * )Note for Security Hub

To retrieve Security Hub Findings, in Build event pattern section, select AWS events or EventBridge partner events in Event source. Then, go to Sample events - optional part and select AWS events in Sample event type. In Sample events select Security Hub Findings - Custom Action

Steps to enable Audit Events

No actions are required in Cloudtrail Service for retrieving this kind of information when the API approach is used (setting types as audit_apis).

For the S3+SQS approach (setting types as audits_s3) some previous configuration is required. Find a complete description of how to create an S2 +SQS pipeline here.

Steps to enable Metrics

No actions are required in CloudWatch Metrics service for retrieving this kind of information.

Steps to enable Logs

Logs can be collected from different services. Depending on the type, some previous setups must be applied on AWS:

No actions are required in this service for retrieving this kind of information.

Before enabling the generation of these logs some structures must be created: one bucket in the S3 service and one FIFO queue in the SQS service.

Follow the steps to create those structures manually:

Create SQS Stadard queue

Go to Simple Queue Service and click on Create queue.
In the Details section. Choose the Standard queue type.
In the Configuration section set the Message retention period field value to 5 days and leave the rest of the values from the Configuration section with the default ones.

Select as Destination field value Send to an S3 bucket.
In S3 bucket ARN field value set the ARN of the previously created S3 bucket (Saved in a previous step).
Be sure that the format field has set the value AWS default format.
Optional. Create one tag with Key "usedBy" and Value "devo-collector"
Click on Create button.

Before enabling the generation of these logs some structures must be created: one bucket in the S3 service and one FIFO queue in the SQS service.

For the manual creation of these required structures, please follow the next steps:

Create SQS Standard queue

Go to Simple Queue Service and click on Create queue button.
In the Details section choose Standardqueue typ and set the Name field value you prefer.
In the Configuration section set the Message retention period field value to 5 Day and leave the rest values from Configuration section with the default ones.

Minimum configuration required for basic pulling

Although this collector supports advanced configuration, the fields required to retrieve data with basic configuration are defined below.

This minimum configuration refers exclusively to those specific parameters of this integration. There are more required parameters related to the generic behavior of the collector. Check setting sections for details.

Setting	Details
`access_key`	This is the account identifier for AWS. More info can be found in the section Using a user account and local policies.
`access_secret`	This is the secret (kind of a password) for AWS. More info can be found in the section Using a user account and local policies.
`base_assume_role`	This allows assuming a role with limited privileges to access AWS services. More info can be found in the sections Assuming a role (self-account) and/or Assuming a role (cross-account).
`target_assume_role`	This allows assuming a role on another AWS account with limited privileges to access AWS services. More info can be found in the section Assuming a role (cross-account).
`assume_role_external_id`	This is an optional field that provides additional security to the assuming role operation on cross-accounts. More info can be found in the section Assuming a role (cross-account).

See the Accepted authentication methods section to verify what settings are required based on the desired authentication method.

Accepted authentication methods

Depending on how did you obtain your credentials, you will have to either fill in or delete the following properties on the JSON credentials configuration block.

Authentication method	access_key	access_secret	base_assume_role	target_assume_role	assume_role_external_id
Access Key / Access Secret
Assume role (self-account)
Assume role (cross-account)

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).

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

To enable the collector for a customer:

In the Collector Server GUI, access the domain in which you want this instance to be created
Click Add Collector and find the one you wish to add.
In the Version field, select the latest value.

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-aws-if-docker-image-1.11.0	`72bcdf402ee5e9960ee8f5f26b4573b1107abf48263b0c494d48ce54408067ce`

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

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

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>/

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>

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.

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:

IMAGE_VERSION=<version> docker-compose up -d

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

Collector services detail

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

Service events (all services)

This service could be considered a general AWS event puller. It reads events from all the AWS services, which are managed by CloudWatch.

If auto_event_type parameter is not set or is set to false, the events are going to be ingested into the table cloud.aws.cloudwatch.events
If auto_event_type parameter is set to true, the events are going to be ingested into the table cloud.aws.cloudwatch.{event_type}

Once the collector has been launched, it is important to check if the ingestion is performed in a proper way. To do so, go to the collector’s logs console.

This service has the following components:

Component	Description
Setup	The setup module is in charge of authenticating the service and managing the token expiration when needed.
Puller	The setup module is in charge of pulling the data in a organized way and delivering the events via SDK.

Setup output

A successful run has the following output messages for the setup module:

INFO InputProcess::AwsCloudwatchEventsPullerSetup(aws,aws#abc123,service-events-all#predefined,us-east-2) -> Session cannot expire. Using user/profile authentication.
INFO InputProcess::AwsCloudwatchEventsPullerSetup(aws,aws#abc123,service-events-all#predefined,us-east-2) -> Creating user session
INFO InputProcess::AwsCloudwatchEventsPullerSetup(aws,aws#abc123,service-events-all#predefined,us-east-2) -> New AWS session started.
INFO InputProcess::AwsCloudwatchEventsPullerSetup(aws,aws#abc123,service-events-all#predefined,us-east-2) -> Setup for module <AwsCloudwatchEventsPuller> has been successfully executed

Puller output

A successful initial run has the following output messages for the puller module:

Note that the PrePull action is executed only one time before the first run of the Pull action.

INFO InputProcess::AwsCloudwatchEventsPuller(aws,abc123,service-events-all,predefined,us-east-2) -> Starting data collection every 60 seconds
INFO InputProcess::AwsCloudwatchEventsPuller(aws,abc123,service-events-all,predefined,us-east-2) -> Starting a new pulling from "dc-aws-cloudwatch-test-1.fifo" queue at "2022-09-23T07:44:54.589769+00:00"

INFO InputProcess::AwsCloudwatchEventsPuller(aws,abc123,service-events-all,predefined,us-east-2) -> Data collection completed. Elapsed time: 0.438 seconds. Waiting for 59.562 second(s) until the next one

After a successful collector’s execution (that is, no error logs found), you will see the following log message:

INFO ThreatQuotientDataPuller(threatquotient_collector,threatquotient_data_puller#111,events#predefined) -> Statistics for this pull cycle (@devo_pulling_id=1655983326.290848): Number of requests performed: 2; Number of events received: 52; Number of duplicated events filtered out: 0; Number of events generated and sent: 52 (from 52 unflattened events); Average of events per second: 92.99414315733.

The value @devo_pulling_id is injected in each event to group all events ingested by the same pull action. You can use it to get the exact events downloaded in that Pull action in Devo’s search window.

This collector does not use any kind of persistent storage.

Service events (Security Hub)

This service is used to read specifically Security Hub events, which need to be processed in a different way.

Using this service, all the Security Hub events are going to be ingested into the table cloud.aws.securityhub.findings

Once the collector has been launched, it is important to check if the ingestion is performed in a proper way. To do so, go to the collector’s logs console.

This service has the following components:

Component	Description
Setup	The setup module is in charge of authenticating the service and managing the token expiration when needed.
Puller	The setup module is in charge of pulling the data in a organized way and delivering the events via SDK.

Setup output

A successful run has the following output messages for the setup module:

INFO InputProcess::AwsCloudwatchEventsPullerSetup(aws,aws#abc123,service-events-all#predefined,us-east-2) -> Session cannot expire. Using user/profile authentication.
INFO InputProcess::AwsCloudwatchEventsPullerSetup(aws,aws#abc123,service-events-all#predefined,us-east-2) -> Creating user session

INFO InputProcess::AwsCloudwatchEventsPullerSetup(aws,aws#abc123,service-events-all#predefined,us-east-2) -> Setup for module <AwsCloudwatchEventsPuller> has been successfully executed

Puller output

A successful initial run has the following output messages for the puller module:

INFO InputProcess::AwsCloudwatchEventsPuller(aws,abc123,sqs-cloudwatch-consumer,predefined,us-east-2) -> Starting data collection every 60 seconds
INFO InputProcess::AwsCloudwatchEventsPuller(aws,abc123,sqs-cloudwatch-consumer,predefined,us-east-2) -> Starting a new pulling from "cloudwatch-test.fifo" queue at "2022-09-23T08:11:50.440225+00:00"

The @devo_pulling_id value is injected into each event to allow grouping all events ingested by the same pull action. You can use it to get the exact events downloaded on that Pull action in Loxcope.

This collector does not use any kind of persistent storage.

Audit events (via API)

This service reads Cloudtrail audit events via API.

There are two ways to read Cloudtrail events: via API or via S3+SQS.

API: It is slower, but can read past events.
S3+SQS: It is much faster, but can only read events since the creation of the queue.

This service makes use of the AWS API to get the data.

If auto_event_type parameter is not set or is set to false, the events are going to be ingested into the table cloud.aws.cloudtrail.events.
If auto_event_type parameter is set to true, the events are going to be ingested into the table cloud.aws.cloudtrail.{event_type}.

Once the collector has been launched, it is important to check if the ingestion is performed in a proper way. To do so, go to the collector’s logs console.

This service has the following components:

Component	Description
Setup	The setup module is in charge of authenticating the service and managing the token expiration when needed.
Puller	The setup module is in charge of pulling the data in a organized way and delivering the events via SDK.

Audit events (via S3 + SQS)

This service reads Cloudtrail audit events via the S3+SQS pipeline.

There are two ways to read Cloudtrail events: via API or via S3+SQS.

API: It is slower, but can read past events.
S3+SQS: It is much faster, but can only read events since the creation of the queue.

If auto_event_type parameter is not set or is set to false, the events are going to be ingested into the table cloud.aws.cloudtrail.events.
If auto_event_type parameter is set to true, the events are going to be ingested into the table cloud.aws.cloudtrail.{event_type}.

Once the collector has been launched, it is important to check if the ingestion is performed in a proper way. To do so, go to the collector’s logs console.

Non Cloudwatch Logs

This service reads logs from some AWS services, but those logs are not managed by Cloudwatch. These logs are stored in an S3 bucket and read through an SQS queue, so it is using an S3+SQS pipeline.

The implemented services currently are:

VPC Flow Logs
Cloudfront Logs

For VPC Flow Logs:

If auto_event_type parameter is not set or is set to false, the events are going to be ingested into the table cloud.aws.vpc.unknown
If auto_event_type parameter is set to true, the events are going to be ingested into the table cloud.aws.vpc.{event_type}.

For Cloudfront Logs:

If auto_event_type parameter is not set or is set to false, the events are going to be ingested into the table cloud.aws.cloudfront.unknown
If auto_event_type parameter is set to true, the events are going to be ingested into the table cloud.aws.cloudfront.{event_type}.

Once the collector has been launched, it is important to check if the ingestion is performed in a proper way. To do so, go to the collector’s logs console.

This service has the following components:

Component	Description
Setup	The setup module is in charge of authenticating the service and managing the token expiration when needed.
Puller	The setup module is in charge of pulling the data in a organized way and delivering the events via SDK.

This collector does not use any kind of persistent storage.

Custom Logs

This service reads logs from some AWS services and these logs are managed by Cloudwatch. Cloudwatch creates log groups to store the different log sources, so it is required to use a custom puller in order to read from different log groups at the same time. This service makes use of the AWS API to get the data.

All the events are going to be ingested into the table cloud.aws.cloudwatch.logs

Once the collector has been launched, it is important to check if the ingestion is performed in a proper way. To do so, go to the collector’s logs console.

This service has the following components:

Component	Description
Setup	The setup module is in charge of authenticating the service and managing the token expiration when needed.

This collector does not use any kind of persistent storage.

Cisco Umbrella (via S3+SQS)

This service reads logs from a Cisco Umbrella managed bucket via the S3+SQS pipeline. Cisco provides a way to deposit logging data into a S3 bucket.

There are three types of events: dnslogs, iplogs and proxylogs. Cisco stores them in different paths depending on the event type. The collector will ingest them towards the following tables:

dnslogs: sig.cisco.umbrella.dns
iplogs: sig.cisco.umbrella.ip
proxylogs: sig.cisco.umbrella.proxy
In case Cisco starts sending other type of events to s3, they will go to: sig.cisco.umbrella.unknown

This collector does not use any kind of persistent storage.

By default, these information traces will be displayed every 10 minutes.

Sender services

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

Sender services	Description
`internal_senders`	In charge of delivering internal metrics to Devo such as logging traces or metrics.
`standard_senders`	In charge of delivering pulled events to Devo.

Sender statistics

Each service displays its own 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.

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)

Displayes the number of events from the last time and 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 where 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.

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

INFO InputProcess::MainThread -> [GC] global: 20.4% -> 20.4%, process: RSS(34.50MiB -> 34.08MiB), VMS(410.52MiB -> 410.02MiB)
INFO OutputProcess::MainThread -> [GC] global: 20.4% -> 20.4%, process: RSS(28.41MiB -> 28.41MiB), VMS(705.28MiB -> 705.28MiB)

Differences between RSS and VMS memory usage:

RSS is the Resident Set Size, which is the actual physical memory the process is using
VMS is the Virtual Memory Size which is the virtual memory that process is using

Sometimes it is necessary to activate the debug mode of the collector's logging. This debug mode increases the verbosity of the log and allows you to print execution traces that are very helpful in resolving incidents or detecting bottlenecks in heavy download processes.

To enable this option you just need to edit the configuration file and change the debug_status parameter from false to true and restart the collector.
To disable this option, you just need to update the configuration file and change the debug_status parameter from true to false and restart the collector.

For more information, visit the configuration and parameterization section corresponding to the chosen deployment mode.

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.
