Elastic Search Firewall Intergrations Issue

Elastic Security
1

Am having an issue with getting the elastic agent to start listening for Firewall (checkpoint & Cisco) syslog on a specific udp port.

My setup is as follows:
Linux server which has - Elastic Search, Kibana and Elastic Agent.
Firewalls are set to send logs to this server IP via different udp ports. (Logs are getting to the server as I can see them when I start up Logstash).

I have applied a policy to the agent that contains the cisco and checkpoint integration and configured the ports as per the firewall configuration.

When I run ss -lpun command I can't see the server listening to these ports.

Hello and welcome,

Please share your Elastic Agent configuration, screenshot them from Kibana if possible.

Also, did you check the Elastic Agent logs? If it is not listening on any ports, then the input had some issue starting up.

You mention that you have logstash as well, is this on the same server?

Apparent, am not getting any logs from kibana. Here is what I get via Diagnostics.

Yes, I have Logstash on the server, but it is not running.

I did update the CA cert under Fleet > Settings > Outputs > Elasticsearch and all the issues were resolved.
