Only for NSS firewall server.

A large number of filters or complex filters, such as string search, might impact the performance of the NSS.

To configure a feed for DNS logs:

Go to Administration → Nanolog Streaming Service.
On the NSS Feeds tab, click Add NSS Feed. The Add NSS Feed window appears.

On the Add NSS Feed window, enter the following information:

Field	Information
Feed Name	Enter or edit the name of the feed. Each feed is a connection between NSS and your Devo Relay.
NSS Type	Select which type of feed you are configuring. Select NSS for Firewall.
NSS Server	Choose an NSS from the list.
Status	The NSS feed is Enabled by default. Click Disabled if you want to activate it later.
SIEM Destination Type	The type of destination. Choose between: SIEM IP Address - Enter the IP address of the Devo Relay to which the logs are streamed. FQDN - (optional) Enter the destination for the TCP connection to which the logs are streamed. This allows failover from one IP to the other without manual intervention, but rather relying on updating the DNS entry. NSS will re-resolve the FQDN only when the existing connection goes down. This feature cannot be used for DNS-based load balancing.
SIEM TCP Port	Enter the port number of the Devo Relay to which the logs are streamed. If you are using the proposed TCP configuration, type 13005.
Log Type	Choose DNS Logs.
Feed Output Type	Choose Custom.
Feed Escape Character	The Zscaler service hex encodes all non-printable ASCII characters that are in URLs when it sends the logs to the NSS. Any URL character that is less than 0x21, or above 0x7E, will be encoded as %HH. This ensures that your Devo Relay will be able to parse the URLs in case they contain non-printable characters. For example, a \n char in a URL is encoded as %0A, and a space is encoded as %20. In this field, you can specify additional characters that you would like to encode. For example, type a comma (,) to encode it as %2C. This is useful if you are using this character as your delimiter and would like to ensure it does not cause erroneous delimitation. Note that the service encodes characters in URLs, hostnames, and referer URLs only. If custom encoding was done for a record, the %s{eedone} field will be YES for that record.
Feed Output Format	Copy and paste the following output format: \{"time":"%s{time}","ss":%02d{ss},"mm":%02d{mm},"hh":%02d{hh},"dd":%02d{dd},"mth":%02d{mth},"yyyy":%04d{yyyy},"reqrulelabel":"%s{reqrulelabel}","reqaction":"%s{reqaction}","resrulelabel":"%s{resrulelabel}","resaction":"%s{resaction}","login":"%s{login}","dept":"%s{dept}","cip":"%s{cip}","durationms":%d{durationms},"sip":"%s{sip}","recordid":%d{recordid},"location":"%s{location}","req":"%s{req}","domcat":"%s{domcat}","reqtype":"%s{reqtype}","sport":%d{sport}\}\n
User Obfuscation	You can enable user obfuscation. When you do, it displays a random string instead of the user names. If this is enabled, the login field in Feed Format Output automatically changes to ologin field, which outputs the obfuscated login name. Choose Disable to display the user names.
Timezone	By default, this is set to the organization's time zone. The time zone you set applies to the time field in the output file. The time zone automatically adjusts to changes in daylight savings in the specific time zone. The configured time zone can be output to the logs as a separate field. The list of time zones is derived from the IANA Time Zone Database. Direct GMT offsets can also be specified.
Duplicate Logs	To ensure that no logs are skipped during any downtime, specify the number of minutes that NSS will send duplicate logs.

Click Save and activate the change.
