Connector instructions
Content published in the repository. Refer to the original file for all parameters.
1. Install and onboard the agent for Linux
Typically, you should install the agent on a different computer from the one on which the logs are generated.
> Syslog logs are collected only from **Linux** agents.
Choose where to install the agent:
Install agent on Azure Linux Virtual Machine
Select the machine to install the agent on and then click **Connect**.
Install agent on a non-Azure Linux Machine
Download the agent on the relevant machine and follow the instructions.
2. Configure the logs to be collected
Configure rsyslog to accept logs from your Eset SMC IP address.
```
sudo -i
# Set ESET SMC source IP address
export ESETIP={Enter your IP address}
# Create rsyslog configuration file
cat > /etc/rsyslog.d/80-remote.conf << EOF
\$ModLoad imudp
\$UDPServerRun 514
\$ModLoad imtcp
\$InputTCPServerRun 514
\$AllowedSender TCP, 127.0.0.1, $ESETIP
\$AllowedSender UDP, 127.0.0.1, $ESETIP
user.=alert;user.=crit;user.=debug;user.=emerg;user.=err;user.=info;user.=notice;user.=warning @127.0.0.1:25224
EOF
# Restart rsyslog
systemctl restart rsyslog```
3. Configure OMS agent to pass Eset SMC data in API format
In order to easily recognize Eset data we will push it to separate table and parse at agent so query in Azure Sentinel is easier and fast. To make it simple we will just modify ```match oms.**``` section to send data as API objects by changing type to out_oms_api. Modify file on /etc/opt/microsoft/omsagent/{REPLACEyourworkspaceid}/conf/omsagent.conf. Full ```match oms.**``` section looks like this:
```
<match oms.** docker.**>
type out_oms_api
log_level info
num_threads 5
run_in_background false
omsadmin_conf_path /etc/opt/microsoft/omsagent/{REPLACEyourworkspaceid}/conf/omsadmin.conf
cert_path /etc/opt/microsoft/omsagent/{REPLACEyourworkspaceid}/certs/oms.crt
key_path /etc/opt/microsoft/omsagent/{REPLACEyourworkspaceid}/certs/oms.key
buffer_chunk_limit 15m
buffer_type file
buffer_path /var/opt/microsoft/omsagent/{REPLACEyourworkspaceid}/state/out_oms_common*.buffer
buffer_queue_limit 10
buffer_queue_full_action drop_oldest_chunk
flush_interval 20s
retry_limit 10
retry_wait 30s
max_retry_wait 9m
</match>
```
4. Change OMS agent configuration to catch tag oms.api.eset and parse structured data
Modify file /etc/opt/microsoft/omsagent/{REPLACEyourworkspaceid}/conf/omsagent.d/syslog.conf
```
<source>
type syslog
port 25224
bind 127.0.0.1
protocol_type udp
tag oms.api.eset
</source>
<filter oms.api.**>
@type parser
key_name message
format /(?<message>.*?{.*})/
</filter>
<filter oms.api.**>
@type parser
key_name message
format json
</filter>
```
5. Disable automatic configuration and restart agent
```bash
# Disable changes to configuration files from Portal
sudo su omsagent -c 'python /opt/microsoft/omsconfig/Scripts/OMS_MetaConfigHelper.py --disable'
# Restart agent
sudo /opt/microsoft/omsagent/bin/service_control restart
# Check agent logs
tail -f /var/opt/microsoft/omsagent/log/omsagent.log
```
6. Configure Eset SMC to send logs to connector
Configure Eset Logs using BSD style and JSON format.
- Go to Syslog server configuration as described in [Eset documentation](https://help.eset.com/esmc_admin/72/en-US/admin_server_settings.html?admin_server_settings_syslog.html) and configure Host (your connector), Format BSD, Transport TCP
- Go to Logging section as described in [Eset documentation](https://help.eset.com/esmc_admin/72/en-US/admin_server_settings.html?admin_server_settings_export_to_syslog.html) and enable JSON
