FireEye Network Security

Collect logs from FireEye NX 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.

This integration periodically fetches logs from FireEye Network Security devices.

Compatibility

The FireEye nx integration has been developed against FireEye Network Security 9.0.0.916432 but is expected to work with other versions.

Logs

NX

The nx integration ingests network security logs from FireEye NX through TCP/UDP and file.

Multi-field of destination.as.organization.name.
match_only_text

Name of the continent.
keyword
destination.geo.country_iso_code

And a second event containing all query details as well as an array of answers.
