Infoblox NIOS

Collect logs from Infoblox NIOS 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.

The Infoblox NIOS integration collects and parses DNS, DHCP, and Audit data collected from Infoblox NIOS via TCP/UDP or logfile.

Setup steps

  1. Enable the integration with TCP/UDP input.
  2. Log in to the NIOS appliance.
  3. Configure the NIOS appliance to send messages to a Syslog server using the following steps. For further information, refer to Using a Syslog Server.
    1. From the Grid tab, select the Grid Manager tab -> Members tab, and then navigate to Grid Properties -> Edit -> Monitoring from the Toolbar.
    2. Select Log to External Syslog Servers to send messages to a specified Syslog server.
    3. Click the Add icon to define a new Syslog server.
    4. Enter the IP Address of the Elastic Agent that is running the integration.
    5. Select Transport to connect to the external Syslog server.
    6. If you are using Secure TCP transport, upload a self-signed or a CA-signed Server Certificate.
    7. From the drop-down list select the Interface through which the appliance sends Syslog messages to the Syslog server.
    8. Select Source as Any so that the appliance sends both internal and external Syslog messages.
    9. From the drop-down list, select Node ID i.e. the host or node identification string that identifies the appliance from which Syslog messages are originated.
    10. Enter the Port of the Elastic Agent that is running the integration.
    11. Select Debug Severity so that the appliance sends all Syslog messages to the server.
    12. Select the following Logging categories:
      • Common Authentication
      • DHCP Process
      • DNS Client
      • DNSSEC
      • DNS General
      • DNS Notifies
      • DNS Queries
      • DNS Query Rewrites
      • DNS Resolver
      • DNS Responses
      • DNS RPZ
      • DNS Updates
      • Non-system Authentication
      • Zone Transfer In
      • Zone Transfer Out
    13. Enable Copy Audit Log Message to Syslog to include audit log messages it sends to the Syslog server.
    14. Select Syslog Facility that determines the processes from which the log messages are generated.

Compatibility

This module has been tested against Infoblox NIOS version 8.6.1 with the below-given logs pattern.

Exported fields

FieldDescriptionType
@timestamp
Event timestamp.
date

keyword
client.ip
IP address of the client (IPv4 or IPv6).
ip
client.mac
MAC address of the client. The notation format from RFC 7042 is suggested: Each octet (that is, 8-bit byte) is represented by two [uppercase] hexadecimal digits giving the value of the octet as an unsigned integer. Successive octets are separated by a hyphen.

constant_keyword
data_stream.namespace
Data stream namespace.
constant_keyword
data_stream.type
Data stream type.
constant_keyword
dns.answers.class
The class of DNS data contained in this resource record.
keyword
dns.answers.data
The data describing the resource. The meaning of this data depends on the type and class of the resource record.
keyword
dns.answers.name
The domain name to which this resource record pertains. If a chain of CNAME is being resolved, each answer's name should be the one that corresponds with the answer's data. It should not simply be the original question.name repeated.
keyword
dns.answers.ttl
The time interval in seconds that this resource record may be cached before it should be discarded. Zero values mean that the data should not be cached.
long
dns.answers.type
The type of data contained in this resource record.
keyword
dns.header_flags
Array of 2 letter DNS header flags.
keyword
dns.question.class
The class of records being queried.
keyword
dns.question.name
The name being queried. If the name field contains non-printable characters (below 32 or above 126), those characters should be represented as escaped base 10 integers (\DDD). Back slashes and quotes should be escaped. Tabs, carriage returns, and line feeds should be converted to \t, \r, and \n respectively.
keyword
dns.question.type
The type of record being queried.
keyword
dns.response_code
The DNS response code.
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
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. For example, filtering on event.category:process yields all events relating to process activity. This field is closely related to event.type, which is used as a subcategory. This field is an array. This will allow proper categorization of some events that fall in multiple categories.
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.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
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
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
host.hostname
Hostname of the host. It normally contains what the hostname command returns on the host machine.
keyword
host.id
Unique host id. As hostname is not always unique, use values that are meaningful in your environment. Example: The current usage of beat.name.
keyword
host.ip
Host ip addresses.
ip
host.mac
Host mac addresses.
keyword
host.name
Name of the host. It can contain what hostname returns on Unix systems, the fully qualified domain name, or a name specified by the user. The sender decides which value to use.
keyword
host.os.build
OS build information.
keyword
host.os.codename
OS codename, if any.
keyword
host.os.family
OS family (such as redhat, debian, freebsd, windows).
keyword
host.os.kernel
Operating system kernel version as a raw string.
keyword
host.os.name
Operating system name, without the version.
keyword
host.os.name.text
Multi-field of host.os.name.
text
host.os.platform
Operating system platform (such centos, ubuntu, windows).
keyword
host.os.version
Operating system version as a raw string.
keyword
host.type
Type of host. For Cloud providers this can be the machine type like t2.medium. If vm, this could be the container, for example, or other information meaningful in your environment.

keyword
log.syslog.priority
Syslog numeric priority of the event, if available. According to RFCs 5424 and 3164, the priority is 8 * facility + severity. This number is therefore expected to contain a value between 0 and 191.
long
message
For log events the message field contains the log message, optimized for viewing in a log viewer. For structured logs without an original message field, other fields can be concatenated to form a human-readable summary of the event. If multiple messages exist, they can be combined into one message.
match_only_text
