Cloudflare

Collect logs from Cloudflare with Elastic Agent.

What is an Elastic integration?

This integration is powered by Elastic Agent. Elastic Agent is a single, unified way to add monitoring for logs, metrics, and other types of data to a host. It can also protect hosts from security threats, query data from operating systems, forward data from remote services or hardware, and more. Refer to our documentation for a detailed comparison between Beats and Elastic Agent.

Prefer to use Beats for this use case? See Filebeat modules for logs or Metricbeat modules for metrics.

Cloudflare integration uses Cloudflare's API to retrieve audit logs and traffic logs from Cloudflare, for a particular zone, and ingest them into Elasticsearch. This allows you to search, observe and visualize the Cloudflare log events through Elasticsearch.

Users of Cloudflare use Cloudflare services to increase the security and performance of their web sites and services.

Configuration

Enabling the integration in Elastic

  1. In Kibana go to Management > Integrations
  2. In the "Search for integrations" search bar type Cloudflare.
  3. Click on "Cloudflare" integration from the search results.
  4. Click on Add Cloudflare button to add Cloudflare integration.

Configure Cloudflare audit logs data stream

Enter values "Auth Email", "Auth Key" and "Account ID".

  1. Auth Email is the email address associated with your account.
  2. Auth Key is the API key generated on the "My Account" page.
  3. Account ID can be found on the Cloudflare dashboard. Follow the navigation documentation from here.

NOTE: See for X-AUTH-EMAIL and X-AUTH-KEY here for more information on Auth Email and Auth Key.

Configure Cloudflare logs

These logs contain data related to the connecting client, the request path through the Cloudflare network, and the response from the origin web server. For more information see here.

The integration can retrieve Cloudflare logs using -

  1. Auth Email and Auth Key
  2. API Token

More information is available here

Configure using Auth Email and Auth Key

Enter values "Auth Email", "Auth Key" and "Zone ID".

  1. Auth Email is the email address associated with your account.
  2. Auth Key is the API key generated on the "My Account" page.
  3. Zone ID can be found here.

Note: See for X-AUTH-EMAIL and X-AUTH-KEY here for more information on Auth Email and Auth Key.

Configure using API Token

Enter values "API Token" and "Zone ID".

For the Cloudflare integration to be able to successfully get logs the following permissions must be granted to the API token -

  • Account.Access: Audit Logs: Read
  1. API Tokens allow for more granular permission settings.
  2. Zone ID can be found here.

Logs

Audit

Audit logs summarize the history of changes made within your Cloudflare account. Audit logs include account-level actions like login and logout, as well as setting changes to DNS, Crypto, Firewall, Speed, Caching, Page Rules, Network, and Traffic features, etc.

Image labels.
object
container.name
Container name.
keyword
data_stream.dataset
Data stream dataset name.
constant_keyword
data_stream.namespace
Data stream namespace.
constant_keyword
data_stream.type
Data stream type.
constant_keyword
ecs.version
ECS version this event conforms to. ecs.version is a required field and must exist in all events. When querying across multiple indices -- which may conform to slightly different ECS versions -- this field lets integrations adjust to the schema version of the events.
keyword
error.message
Error message.
match_only_text
event.action
The action captured by the event. This describes the information in the event. It is more specific than event.category. Examples are group-add, process-started, file-created. The value is normally defined by the implementer.
keyword
event.created
event.created contains the date/time when the event was first read by an agent, or by your pipeline. This field is distinct from @timestamp in that @timestamp typically contain the time extracted from the original event. In most situations, these two timestamps will be slightly different. The difference can be used to calculate the delay between your source generating an event, and the time when your agent first processed it. This can be used to monitor your agent's or pipeline's ability to keep up with your event source. In case the two timestamps are identical, @timestamp should be used.
date
event.dataset
Event dataset
constant_keyword
event.id
Unique ID to describe the event.
keyword
event.ingested
Timestamp when an event arrived in the central data store. This is different from @timestamp, which is when the event originally occurred. It's also different from event.created, which is meant to capture the first time an agent saw the event. In normal conditions, assuming no tampering, the timestamps should chronologically look like this: @timestamp < event.created < event.ingested.
date
event.module
Event module
constant_keyword
event.original
Raw text message of entire event. Used to demonstrate log integrity or where the full log message (before splitting it up in multiple parts) may be required, e.g. for reindex. This field is not indexed and doc_values are disabled. It cannot be searched, but it can be retrieved from _source. If users wish to override this and index this field, please see Field data types in the Elasticsearch Reference.
keyword
event.outcome
This is one of four ECS Categorization Fields, and indicates the lowest level in the ECS category hierarchy. event.outcome simply denotes whether the event represents a success or a failure from the perspective of the entity that produced the event. Note that when a single transaction is described in multiple events, each event may populate different values of event.outcome, according to their perspective. Also note that in the case of a compound event (a single event that contains multiple logical events), this field should be populated with the value that best captures the overall success or failure from the perspective of the event producer. Further note that not all events will have an associated outcome. For example, this field is generally not populated for metric events, events with event.type:info, or any events for which an outcome does not make logical sense.
keyword
host.architecture
Operating system architecture.
keyword
host.containerized
If the host is a container.
boolean
host.domain
Name of the domain of which the host is a member. For example, on Windows this could be the host's Active Directory domain or NetBIOS domain name. For Linux this could be the domain of the host's LDAP provider.

keyword
event.category
This is one of four ECS Categorization Fields, and indicates the second level in the ECS category hierarchy. event.category represents the "big buckets" of ECS categories.

It's also different from event.created, which is meant to capture the first time an agent saw the event. In normal conditions, assuming no tampering, the timestamps should chronologically look like this: @timestamp < event.created < event.ingested.
date
event.kind
This is one of four ECS Categorization Fields, and indicates the highest level in the ECS category hierarchy. event.kind gives high-level information about what type of information the event contains, without being specific to the contents of the event. For example, values of this field distinguish alert events from metric events. The value of this field can be used to inform how these kinds of events should be handled. They may warrant different retention, different access control, it may also help understand whether the data coming in at a regular interval or not.
keyword
event.module
Event module
constant_keyword
event.original
Raw text message of entire event. Used to demonstrate log integrity or where the full log message (before splitting it up in multiple parts) may be required, e.g. for reindex.

event.start contains the date when the event started or when the activity was first observed.
date
event.type
This is one of four ECS Categorization Fields, and indicates the third level in the ECS category hierarchy. event.type represents a categorization "sub-bucket" that, when used along with the event.category field values, enables filtering events down to a level appropriate for single visualization. This field is an array. This will allow proper categorization of some events that fall in multiple event types.
keyword
host.architecture
Operating system architecture.
keyword
host.containerized
