export pfBlocker logs incl feed name via syslog.

Is it possible to export the LOGS with the FEED name
Currently I export the pfSens firewall log to ELK stack it would be nice to see what feed is triggered the block

Thanks in advance

Hi BBcan177

Thanks for the link, I managed to setup telegraph and export the logs to elasticsearch, one firewall however is beaking the GROK pattern there is a double ,, (coma) in the log file. here is a sample, Look towards the end just before the ASN field. I would expect there must be the interface name vtnet0

That missing log entry is the "Hostname". If its not found, it should log "Unknown".

Can you run this test and report back what on the output of the command? It should contain the Hostname for that Local IP:

Goto pfSense > Diagnostics > Command Prompt > Execute PHP Commands, and paste the following two lines in the box and hit "Execute":

include_once('/usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc');
print_r(pfb_collect_localhosts());

I assume that IP is not listed, so we need to see why it doesn't have a Hostname.

Alternatively, the GROK pattern could probably see that its an empty field. I haven't had time to play with it, so can't offer much assistance there...

Hi BBcan177

Output below:

}

I had a host name defined under DNS resolver, But no REMARK, after I added a remark it seems to work correct.

many thanks !

@jacol Could you share your config in elasticsearch side that enabled you to get the logs?

jacol

Hi @JohanÅ

I will try to explain what I did, I am not a Elasticsearch or GROK expert hope this helps.

Edit the Telegraf file /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc

this sample telegraf.tar below sends
/var/log/pfblockerng/ip_block.log
/var/log/pfblockerng/dnsbl.log
/var/squid/logs/access.log ( not used in this config )

in Pfsense install telegraf and send the logs to Elasticsearch

eg. https://10.34.5.2:9200

In Elasticsearch create a index for the new data
Here is my json file I exported

export.tar

@jacol Awesome message, thanks!

I will try this today. Just to clarify, you add the username and password because you use xpack (at least the core is now free in normal Elasticsearch)?

Also to clarify, you just installed the Telegraf from Available packages and did not update the files from Github? And one more question, do you have grok parser in logstash for these or how does your Logstash input look like?

jacol

@JohanÅ

I used Docker with Open Distro for Elasticsearch

I used telegraf-1.8.3_freebsd_amd64.tar.gz

Here is the version
[2.4.4-RELEASE][root@firewall]/root: /usr/local/bin/telegraf --version
Telegraf 1.8.3 (git: HEAD f2979106)

Telegraf does the log parsing and send directly to Elasticsearch no Logstash used.

JohanÅ

@jacol Thanks, I got it working. Turns out that my config was right but I noticed from PFSense syslog that I get login 401 to my ELK server. Changed the user and now it works!
