Configuring CyberArk Privileged Threat Analytics to communicate with QRadar

To collect all events from CyberArk Privileged Threat Analytics, you must specify IBM QRadar as the syslog server and configure the syslog format. The CyberArk Privileged Threat Analytics device sends syslog events that are formatted as Log Event Extended Format (LEEF).

Procedure

  1. On the CyberArk Privileged Threat Analytics machine, go to the /opt/tomcat/diamond-resources/local/ directory, and open the systemparm.properties file in a text editor such as vi.
  2. Uncomment the syslog_outbound property and then edit the following parameters:
    Parameter Value
    Host The host name or IP address of the QRadar system.
    Port 514
    Protocol UDP
    Format LEEF
    The following is an example of the syslog_outbound property:

    syslog_outbound=[{"host": "SIEM_MACHINE_ADDRESS", "port": "514", "format": "LEEF", "protocol": "UDP"}]

    The following is an example of the syslog_outbound property specifying multiple syslog recipients, separated by commas:

    syslog_outbound=[{"host": "SIEM_MACHINE_ADDRESS", "port": "514", "format": "LEEF", "protocol": "UDP"} , {"host": "SIEM_MACHINE_ADDRESS1", "port": "514", "format": "LEEF", "protocol": "UDP"} , …]

  3. Save the systemparm.properties configuration file, and then close it.
  4. Restart CyberArk Privileged Threat Analytics.
