General overview of the Event Pipeline and Processes

Syslog Watcher installs a dedicated syslog server, integrating log data from multiple network devices into a single, easily manageable and accessible place. Collecting and analyzing syslogs is essential for maintaining network stability and auditing network security.

Proofpoint on Demand customers can use this add-on to collect email security logs that can be stored and indexed in Splunk to search, report and investigate email delivery. This technology add-on maps the message and mail logs to Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) for email.

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions are used by many organizations to identify and correlate various security events occurring in their point products. Examples of SIEM products include HP's ArcSight, IBM's QRadar, and Splunk. 

The DSM Editor is a new capability introduced in QRadar 7.2.8 that allows you to create a custom parser for getting your events into QRadar in a usable and user friendly way. This page will give an overview of how to use the editor and then create an extension to share your creation.

Syslog messages from transit network devices can provide insight into and context for security events that may not be available from other sources. This insight aids in determining the validity and extent of an incident. Within the context of a security incident, administrators can use syslog messages to understand communication relationships, timing, and, in some cases, the attacker's motives and/or tools. These events should be considered complementary and should be used in conjunction with other forms of network monitoring that may already be in place.

glogg is a multi-platform GUI application to browse and search through long or complex log files. It is designed with programmers and system administrators in mind. glogg can be seen as a graphical, interactive combination of grep and less.

This paper focuses on using the built-in tools already available in the Microsoft Windows operating system (OS). Central event log collection requires a Windows Server operating system version 2003 R2 or above. Many commercially available tools exist for central event log collection. Using a Windows Server 2008 R2 or above server version is recommended. There are no additional licensing costs for using the event log collection feature. The cost of using this feature is based on the amount of additional storage hardware needed to support the amount of log data collected. This factor is dependent on the number of workstations within the local log collection network.

The main purpose of the site is to promote "slightly skeptical" approach to IT, to stimulate critical thinking about system administration and software development as professions. To increase resistance to media brainwashing. Skepticism is generally any questioning attitude towards knowledge, facts, or opinions/beliefs stated as facts, or doubt regarding claims that are taken for granted elsewhere.
