Collect Events from Vendor

In order to use the collector, you need to use the following option to collect events from the vendor:

You will need to configure the vendor and product for this specific collector.

  • Pay attention: Timestamp parsing is available for the default UTC (+0000) format for Microsoft IIS.

XDRC (XDR Collector)

You will need to use the information described here.

You can configure the vendor and product by replacing [vendor][product]raw with [vendor][product]_raw.

When configuring the instance, you should use a YAML file that configures the vendor and product, as seen in the configuration below for the Microsoft IIS product.

Copy and paste the content of the following YAML file in the Filebeat Configuration File section (inside the relevant profile under the XDR Collectors Profiles).

Filebeat Configuration file:

filebeat.modules:
- module: iis
  access:
    enabled: true
    var.paths: ["C:/inetpub/logs/LogFiles/*/*.log"]
  error:
    enabled: true
    var.paths: ["C:/Windows/System32/LogFiles/HTTPERR/*.log"]
