Logs should be centralized, easily accessible, and independent from the monitored objects. Therefore, it’s advisable not to rely solely on the built-in monitoring system of OpenShift; instead, consider using an additional external monitoring solution. In this article, we’ll explore how to monitor an OpenShift cluster using Elastic Stack. Installing the Integration Since OpenShift is entirely…
Read MoreHey everyone! As you may remember, we took a look in the past at how it’s possible to use a model (trained directly in Elasticsearch) to perform some real time classification by using an ingest pipeline. But… what if we wanted to use our own externally trained model? Well the good news is that, under…
Read MoreA customer asked me to analyze their network flows, with a solution oriented towards using an nBox that collects NetFlow data from a router located away from the branch office, takes it in for analysis, and then sends it to a NetEye Elastic module, which act as an analysis console for that NetFlow data. The…
Read MoreFirst of all, I’d like to explain in simple terms what Elastiflow is all about. ElastiFlow is a NetFlow analyzer that works with the Elastic Stack. The Elastiflow Analyzer can collect various network flows, such as netflow or sflow, and write them to Elastic, taking into account the ECS format. In addition, the Elastiflow Analyzer…
Read MoreIn order to protect your business against cyber attacks you need to both harden your systems and promptly detect suspicious activities in your infrastructure. Sigma is an open source project which defines specifications for a standard signature format that allows you to describe relevant log events for security purposes. The Sigma rules language is intended…
Read MoreIn this blog post I will describe my experience with ingesting logs from a Fortinet firewall at a customer site. During this process I exploited the brand new Filebeat 7.8.0 Fortinet module. In particular, I will describe how I went from 3K events per second (eps) to 32K eps, more than a 10x improvement.
