Hello Team,
I am working on a requirement to discover cryptographic objects using Splunk. I need to collect relevant log data containing information such as TLS versions, ciphers, certificates, IPs, hosts, ports, and protocols.
Could you please suggest how this data can be collected and integrated into Splunk, and which log sources or Splunk are recommended?
Thank you!
Hi,
For cryptographic-object discovery in Splunk, I would prioritize the sources like this
| Log source / Splunk product | What you can collect |
| Splunk Stream | TLS version, cipher, source/destination IP, ports, protocol, certificate/TLS metadata |
| F5 / Palo Alto / Fortinet / proxy / load balancer logs | TLS versions, ciphers, certificates, client/server IPs, ports |
| Nginx / Apache / HAProxy / API Gateway logs | TLS version, cipher, server name, client IP, certificate-related information |
| Windows Schannel Event Logs | TLS/SSL and certificate events |
| Linux/OpenSSL certificate inventory | Certificate subject, issuer, expiry, algorithm, key length, fingerprint |
| Splunk Enterprise Security | Certificates data model, dashboards, correlation/searching |
