Date Tags data

Description:

In addition to mail analysis I decided to fill Elastic with DNS data, for this purpose I found powerful software - passivedns. It intercepts DNS traffic and transmits requests to syslog.

Example:

Configurations:


passivedns:

passivedns -D -i eth0.2 -d , -p /var/run/passivedns/passivedns.pid -l /var/log/passivedns/passivedns.log -L /var/log/passivedns/nxdomain.log -y -Y -C 1 -P 1 -X 46CDNOLFIPRSTMndHfsxoryetaz -u passivedns -g passivedns


rsyslog:

template(name="passivedns" type="list" option.json="on") {
  constant(value="{")
  constant(value="\"timestamp\":\"")    property(name="timereported" dateFormat="rfc3339")
  constant(value="\",\"src\":\"")       property(name="msg" field.delimiter="44" field.number="2" )
  constant(value="\",\"dst\":\"")       property(name="msg" field.delimiter="44" field.number="3" )
  constant(value="\",\"type\":\"")      property(name="msg" field.delimiter="44" field.number="6" )
  constant(value="\",\"result\":\"")    property(name="msg" field.delimiter="44" field.number="7" caseconversion="lower" )
  constant(value="\",\"hostname\":\"")  property(name="msg" field.delimiter="44" field.number="5" caseconversion="lower" )
  constant(value="\"}")
}

ruleset(name="dns") {
  action(type="omelasticsearch"
    server="elastic.livelace.ru"
    serverport="9200"
    template="passivedns"
    searchIndex="dns"
    searchType="queries"
    queue.type="disk"
    queue.size="10000000"
    queue.filename="dns"
    queue.maxdiskspace="5g"
    queue.saveonshutdown="on"
    action.resumeretrycount="-1"
  )
}


elasticsearch:
