Field extractor for Firepower syslogs

Hi All, I am working on Cisco Firepower field extraction.

I got 2 different patterns mentioned below:

1. For the below one, I am getting action field either "Allow" or "Block" and I am able to extract that.

Jul 16 2020 17:47:00 %FTD-1-430002: AccessControlRuleAction: Allow, SrcIP: 10.216.6.64, DstIP: 40.126.2.50, SrcPort: 57033, DstPort: 443, Protocol: tcp, IngressZone: in, EgressZone: out, ACPolicy: Azure-Policy-old, AccessControlRuleName: ASADmz_Internal_Access, Prefilter Policy: Allow_new, User: No Authentication Required, InitiatorPackets: 2, ResponderPackets: 1, InitiatorBytes: 120, ResponderBytes: 66, NAPPolicy: Unknown

 

2. How can I write single extractor for action field to cover below type of logs? Field action would be unknown for below pattern I believe.

Jul 16 17:47:00 UTC: %FTD-session-6-305011: Built dynamic TCP translation from Inside:10.216.6.64/57035 to Outside:10.216.3.10/57035

 

The same issue I am facing with ASA firewall logs also.

 

Any direction would be highly appreciated.

 

Regards,

Tejas

Have you looked the available apps in splunkbase? They may save you a lot of effort. See https://splunkbase.splunk.com/apps/#/search/firepower/

@richgalloway  Thanks for your prompt response.

Sorry I missed to mention that we have latest version of Splunk i.e. 8.0 both SH and HF.

So none of these apps or add-on are compatible and cisco estreamer for Splunk app is tested on unix platform. We have installed HF on Windows server.

Can you please suggest some other solution?

 

Regards,

Tejas

That splunkbase doesn't say an app is compatible with a certain version does not mean that app is not compatible with that version. It's possible the app simply has not been tested. Compatibility with Splunk 8 usually hinges on which Python version the app uses. If the app does not use any Python then compatibility should not be a problem.
You can use one of the apps as a guide for building your own app.
