Syslog

FortiSIEM handles custom syslog messages from McAfee Intrushield.

  1. Log in to McAfee Intrushield Manager.
  2. Create a customer syslog format with these fields:
    • AttackName
    • AttackTime
    • AttackSeverity
    • SourceIp
    • SourcePort
    • DestinationIp
    • DestinationPort
    • AlertId
    • AlertType
    • AttackId
    • AttackSignature
    • AttackConfidence
    • AdminDomain
    • SensorName:ASCDCIPS01
    • Interface
    • Category
    • SubCategory
    • Direction
    • ResultStatus
    • DetectionMechanism
    • ApplicationProtocol
    • NetworkProtocol
    • Relevance
  3. Set the message format as a sequence of Attribute:Value pairs as in this example.
    AttackName:$IV_ATTACK_NAME$,AttackTime:$IV_ATTACK_TIME$,AttackSeverity::$IV_ATTACK_SEVERITY$,SourceIp:$IV_SOURCE_IP$,SourcePort:$IV_SOURCE_PORT$,
    DestinationIp:$IV_DESTINATION_IP$,DistinationPort:$IV_DESTINATION_PORT$,AlertId:$IV_ALERT_ID$,AlertType:$IV_ALERT_TYPE$,AttackId$IV_ATTACK_ID$,
