FILEBEAT module Fortinet : Provided Grok expressions do not match field value

Alex_Lum · April 13, 2021, 9:44am

Hello,
I send fortigate logs via rsylog on /var/log/fortigate* files.

I 've configured filebeat with fortinet module.
On kibana, i get this : Provided Grok expressions do not match field value

It was working with udp 9004 input, but not with file input.

Filebeat.yml is not modified.

module.d/fortinet.yml :

- module: fortinet
  firewall:
    enabled: true
    var.input: file
    var.paths:
       - /var/log/fortigate*

    # var.syslog_host: 0.0.0.0
    # var.syslog_port: 9004

I followed this : Fileabeat grok fail "Provided Grok expressions do not match field value"
./filebeat setup --pipelines -modules="fortinet"
deleted indices and index patterns, but still no luck.

Can you help me?

Thanks.

Hello @Alex_Lum

Just to confirm, when you mention that it did work with UDP, do you mean that you sent data directly from fortigate to filebeat UDP input, or that fortinet is sending to rsyslog first?

Is there any reason why the data needs to enter rsyslog first? For example you want to send it to a second location for backup purposes?

Most likely, once the data is received by rsyslog, and it writes it to a file, it modifies the format slightly, would you be able to provide a sample logline from the file?

For reference, this is how the module expects the logfile to look like: beats/fortinet.log at master · elastic/beats · GitHub

Hello @Marius_Iversen ,

Previously, i sent logs from fortigate to UDP port 9004 and to syslog.
I have to communicate logs with TLS, so i configured forti syslog like this.

config log syslogd setting
    set status enable
    set server "xxxxx"
    set mode reliable
    set port 6514
    set facility local0
    set enc-algorithm high-medium
    set ssl-min-proto-version TLSv1-2
    set certificate "syslog"
    set source-ip "xxxx"
end

I 'd like to send logs TCP with TLS directly to filebeat but it seems that fortinet filebeat module does not include TLS communication.

Here's a sample of logs by syslog.
Format from syslog is modified as you said.

Apr 12 08:55:33 xxx date=2021-04-12 time=08:50:13 devname="xxx" devid="xxx" logid="0000000013" type="traffic" subtype="forward" level="notice" vd="root" eventtime=1618210213 srcip=xxx srcport=50006 srcintf="xxx" srcintfrole="lan" dstip=xxx dstport=443 dstintf="port2" dstintfrole="wan" poluuid="dbf92dee-8d7e-51e7-c7f8-cbe9285a5beb" sessionid=137444923 proto=6 action="close" policyid=71 policytype="policy" service="HTTPS" dstcountry="France" srccountry="Reserved" trandisp="snat" transip=xxx transport=50006 appid=42533 app="Google.Services" appcat="General.Interest" apprisk="elevated" applist="xxx" appact="detected" duration=320 sentbyte=3408 rcvdbyte=8078 sentpkt=27 rcvdpkt=31 utmaction="allow" countweb=1 countapp=2 sentdelta=2615 rcvddelta=4799 devtype="Router/NAT Device" devcategory="None" mastersrcmac="xxx" srcmac="xxx" srcserver=0

Soooo, i understand why i 've got this issue with grok.
Is it possible to communicate forti logs with forti filebeat module with TLS? (seems not )

The project is in fine to have the beautiful graphs from this project

I have read all those scripts and i can choose input syslog for logstash.
Is it possible to communicate forti logs with logstash input syslog with TLS? (seems not again )

Thanks

Hello again @Alex_Lum

Ah so that explains it. The TLS and TCP actually uses a totally different way to communicate when it comes from fortinet, support for tcp and tls was added in 7.12 here: [Filebeat] rfc6587 framing for fortinet firewall by leehinman · Pull Request #23837 · elastic/beats · GitHub

So if you use the 7.12 version, and set the input type to tcp and configure the TLS settings it should work just fine

Something like this in the fortinet.yml under the firewall module, together with the rest of your settings, though remove things like client auth if its not used:

ssl:
  enabled: true
  certificate: "foo.crt"
  key: "foo.key"
  client_authentication: true
  verification_mode: true # or none if it shouldn't check the hostname of the cert

Thanks @Marius_Iversen ,
I ' am updating 7.12 so i will test that.
Thanks

I have updated filebeat and made configuration but in logs :

 Exiting: Failed to start crawler: creating module reloader failed: could not create module registry for filesets: fileset fortinet/ssl is configured but doesn't exist

Documentation seems not to be updated for fortinet filebeat module

I think at that point it might just be down to a malformed fortinet.yml (the one changed from ./modules.d folder).

Would you be able to provide a copy of it? Formatted as a codeblock so we can see the indentations etc as well.

OK @Marius_Iversen , here's my fortinet.yml on modules.d

- module: fortinet

    var.syslog_port: 9004

    var.ssl:
      enabled: true

      key: "/etc/filebeat/xxx.key"
      client_authentication: true
      verification_mode: none # or none if it shouldn't check the hostname of the cert

I added both the var.ssl and changed the indentation so that its under the firewall line, instead of on the same indentation

Ok @Marius_Iversen .

Tested, chain syslog > filebeat > ES > kib OK.

But messages are still encrypted :

Provided Grok expressions do not match field value: [\u0016\u0003\u0001\u0001�\u0001\u0000\u0001�\u0003\u0003��\u0004�#\u0006�^\u0006Jn�M�j\u001A\u0002M\r��\t���ҏ���)C \u0000{\u001F�h7\r���9�-H;���]

Is there an option to add CA certificate like logstash or winlogbeat?
