Open in ChatGPTOpen in Claude

Coralogix provides seamless integration with Auditbeat so you can send your audit data from anywhere into Coralogix.

Prerequisites

• Select the URLs in the table associated with your Coralogix domain.

[table id=51 /]

• Install Auditbeat.

• Install our SSL certificate to your system for providing a secure connection. You can download it by following table in this section (Column SSL Certificate).

General

Private Key – Your Send Your Data - API Key is a unique ID that represents your company.

Company Id – A unique number which represents your company. You can get your company id from the settings tab in the Coralogix dashboard.

Application Name – The name of your main application, for example, a company named "SuperData" would probably insert the "SuperData" string parameter or if they want to debug their test environment they might insert the "SuperData– Test".

SubSystem Name – Your application probably has multiple subsystems, for example: Backend servers, Middleware, Frontend servers etc. in order to help you examine the data you need, inserting the subsystem parameter is vital.

Configuration

At the Host machine

Open your Auditbeat configuration file and configure it to use Logstash. For more information about configuring Auditbeat to use Logstash please refer to: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/auditbeat/current/logstash-output.html

Point your Auditbeat to output to Coralogix logstash server:

If your Coralogix domain ends with '.com' use:

logstashserver.coralogix.com:5015

If your Coralogix domain ends with '.in' use:

logstashserver.app.coralogix.in:5015

In addition, you should add Coralogix configuration from the General section.

Here is a basic example of an auditbeat.yml file for watching some folders on your server:

#============================= Auditbeat Modules ===============================

auditbeat.modules:
- module: file_integrity
  enabled: true
  paths:
  - /bin
  - /usr/bin
  - /sbin
  - /usr/sbin
  - /etc

fields_under_root: true
fields:
  PRIVATE_KEY: "YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY"
  COMPANY_ID: YOUR_COMPANY_ID
  APP_NAME: "APP_NAME"
  SUB_SYSTEM: "SUB_NAME"

#----------------------------- Logstash output --------------------------------

output.logstash:
  enabled: true
# If your Coralogix domain ends with '.com' use logstashserver.coralogix.com:5015
# If your Coralogix domain ends with '.in' use logstashserver.app.coralogix.in:5015
  hosts: ["appropriate-log-stash-server"]
  ttl: 60s
  ssl.certificate_authorities: ["<path to folder with certificates>/ca.crt"]

Using Docker

Build a Docker image with your auditbeat.yml:

FROM docker.elastic.co/beats/auditbeat:6.6.2

LABEL description="Auditbeat filesystem audit data collector"

# Adding configuration file and SSL certificates for Auditbeat
COPY auditbeat.yml /usr/share/auditbeat/auditbeat.yml
COPY ca.crt /etc/ssl/certs/Coralogix.crt

# Changing permission of configuration file
USER root
RUN chown root:auditbeat /usr/share/auditbeat/auditbeat.yml

# Return to deploy user
USER auditbeat

Usage

You can deploy with Docker-compose:

version: '3.6'
services:
  auditbeat:
    image: docker.elastic.co/beats/auditbeat:6.6.2
    container_name: auditbeat
    volumes:
      - ./auditbeat.yml:/usr/share/auditbeat/auditbeat.yml:ro
      - ./ca.crt:/etc/ssl/certs/Coralogix.crt:ro

Important: Don't forget to change the owner of auditbeat.yml file to root (uid=1000).
