How to ingest Untangle logs (NG Firewall) into Splunk?

bborodach — Sat, 07 Jul 2018 21:35:59 GMT

Greetings,

For a long time, I have wanted to ingest untangle logs (Firewall, IDS/IPS, OpenVpn, and Web Filtering) into Splunk to write security rules, etc. I am surprised this wasn't done before however I completed this and it was worth struggle.

Getting Splunk and Untangle ready;

Pre-reqs (Ubuntu 16.04 - Splunk box) - JRE version 1.8 [I already had default jre]

sudo apt-get install default-jre [I would if I were you because these are the exact steps i followed]

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html

tar -xvzf jre-8u172-linux-x64.tar.gz [change version to fit your needs]

mv jre1.8.0_172/ /usr/lib/jvm/

Installing the splunk app.

Login to splunk base and download the DB connect app. Once you have installed it on the general tab under settings put the full path to your jave jre (/usr/lib/jvm/jre1.8.0_172)

Then download the driver required by the splunk app; https://jdbc.postgresql.org/download/postgresql-42.2.2.jar

After you have downloaded the correct driver for your database, copy the .JAR driver file to the

$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/drivers

Once you do this restart splunk

Configuring untangle;

/etc/init.d/untangle-vm stop
/etc/init.d/postgresql stop

Use fav text editor to edit

/etc/postgresql/9.4/main/pg_hba.conf

Find this line;

host    all             all             127.0.0.1/0               trust

CHANGE It to

host    all             all             0.0.0.0/0               trust

This allows all traffic to it.

For this next part, navigate to

/etc/postgresql/9.6/main/postgresql.conf

UNCOMMENT the listen_address line and add * in the ().

Configure postgres;

psql -U postgres -d uvm
CREATE USER $usernamehere WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'passwordfortheuser';
GRANT CONNECT ON DATABASE uvm TO $usernamehere;
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA reports TO $usernamehere;
GRANT SELECT ON ALL SEQUENCES IN SCHEMA reports TO $usernamehere;
GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA reports to $usernamehere;
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA reports GRANT SELECT ON TABLES TO $usernamehere;

IF YOU HAVE UNTANGLE FIREWALL RULES ENSURE THAT YOU ALLOW YOUR HOST ACCESS TO IT!
Download this tool to test https://www.pgadmin.org/download
Follow instructions to connect.

Tables to pull data from (this is what I did, you can tailor this to your environment);

[LIST]
[]openvpn_stats
[]sessions
[]http_query events
[]http_events
[*]intrusion_prevention_events
[/LIST]

Once you have the Splunk DB_Connect App setup:

You can use these pre-made queries to help get you up and running, the are splunk CIM compliant (except for OpenVPN).

Im really new to splunk but I am trying to follow what you listed here for bringing in untangle. Would you be able to assist me a little more with getting my firewall integrated properly?
