Splunk Search

Calculate any Server network throughput from Cisco ASA logs.

I can see logs from Cisco ASA firewall to Splunk and we are getting logs when a connection close. It have the total data send with bytes. 

 

Nov 1 12:19:48 ASA-FW-01 : %ASA-6-302014: Teardown TCP connection 4043630532 for INSIDE-339:192.168.42.10/37308 to OUTSIDE-340:192.168.36.26/8080 duration 0:00:00 bytes 6398 TCP FINs from INSIDE-VLAN339

 

I am unable to see bytes as a valid field.  I tried to create Extract New Fields for this. 

 

^(?:[^:\n]*:){8}\d+\s+(?P<BYTES>\w+\s+)

 

But when I use in the search it fails. 

 

index=asa_* src_ip = "192.168.42.10"  | rex field=_raw DATA=0 "^(?:[^:\n]*:){8}\d+\s+(?P<BYTES>\w+\s+)"

 

 

OBJECTIVE :  Calculate Server throughput for flows using Cisco ASA logs.   So view the network throughput for the flows using splunk.

Hi @Hami-g ,

you regex isn't correct, please try this:

^(?:[^:\n]*:){8}\d+\s+bytes\s(?P<BYTES>\w+\s+)

that you can test at https://regex101.com/r/BGPGr9/1

Ciao.

Hi @Hami-g,

Splunk Add-on for Cisco ASA provides the recommended knowledge objects for message 302014:

| eval bytes_per_second=bytes/duration

Specifically, the add-on includes a transform for field extractions and a field for duration:

# transforms.conf
