This integration periodically fetches audit logs from Modsecurity servers. It can parse audit logs created by the HTTP server.
The logs were tested with ModSecurity v3 with nginx connector and ModSecurity v3 with Apache Connector. Change the default ModSecurity logging format to json as per configuration.

keyword |

| ecs.version | ECS version this event conforms to. ecs.version is a required field and must exist in all events. When querying across multiple indices — which may conform to slightly different ECS versions — this field lets integrations adjust to the schema version of the events. |
keyword |
| event.dataset | Event dataset | constant_keyword |
| event.module | Event module | constant_keyword |
| host.architecture | Operating system architecture. | keyword |
| host.containerized | If the host is a container. | boolean |

| host.hostname | Hostname of the host. It normally contains what the hostname command returns on the host machine. |
keyword |
| host.id | Unique host id. As hostname is not always unique, use values that are meaningful in your environment. Example: The current usage of beat.name. |
keyword |
| host.ip | Host ip addresses. | ip |
| host.mac | Host mac addresses. | keyword |
| host.name | Name of the host. It can contain what hostname returns on Unix systems, the fully qualified domain name, or a name specified by the user. The sender decides which value to use. |
keyword |

| host.os.codename | OS codename, if any. | keyword |
| host.os.family | OS family (such as redhat, debian, freebsd, windows). | keyword |

text |
| host.os.platform | Operating system platform (such centos, ubuntu, windows). | keyword |
| host.os.version | Operating system version as a raw string. | keyword |
| host.type | Type of host. For Cloud providers this can be the machine type like t2.medium. If vm, this could be the container, for example, or other information meaningful in your environment. |
keyword |
| http.request.body.content | The full HTTP request body. | wildcard |
| http.request.body.content.text | Multi-field of http.request.body.content. |
match_only_text |
| http.request.bytes | Total size in bytes of the request (body and headers). | long |
| http.request.method | HTTP request method. The value should retain its casing from the original event. For example, GET, get, and GeT are all considered valid values for this field. |
keyword |
| http.request.mime_type | Mime type of the body of the request. This value must only be populated based on the content of the request body, not on the Content-Type header. Comparing the mime type of a request with the request’s Content-Type header can be helpful in detecting threats or misconfigured clients. |
keyword |
| http.request.referrer | Referrer for this HTTP request. | keyword |
| http.response.body.content | The full HTTP response body. | wildcard |
| http.response.body.content.text | Multi-field of http.response.body.content. |
match_only_text |
| http.response.bytes | Total size in bytes of the response (body and headers). | long |
| http.response.mime_type | Mime type of the body of the response. This value must only be populated based on the content of the response body, not on the Content-Type header. Comparing the mime type of a response with the response’s Content-Type header can be helpful in detecting misconfigured servers. |
keyword |
| http.response.status_code | HTTP response status code. | long |
| http.version | HTTP version. | keyword |
| input.type | Input type | keyword |
| log.file.path | Full path to the log file this event came from, including the file name. It should include the drive letter, when appropriate. If the event wasn’t read from a log file, do not populate this field. | keyword |
| log.offset | Log offset | long |
| message | human-readable summary of the event | text |
| modsec.audit.connector | The name of the connector between the web server and libmodsecurity. | keyword |

| related.ip | All of the IPs seen on your event. | ip |
| rule.id | A rule ID that is unique within the scope of an agent, observer, or other entity using the rule for detection of this event. | keyword |
| source.address | Some event source addresses are defined ambiguously. The event will sometimes list an IP, a domain or a unix socket. You should always store the raw address in the .address field. Then it should be duplicated to .ip or .domain, depending on which one it is. |
keyword |
| source.as.number | Unique number allocated to the autonomous system. The autonomous system number (ASN) uniquely identifies each network on the Internet. | long |
| source.as.organization.name | Organization name. | keyword |

| source.geo.country_name | Country name. | keyword |
| source.geo.location | Longitude and latitude. | geo_point |
| source.geo.region_iso_code | Region ISO code. | keyword |
| source.geo.region_name | Region name. | keyword |

| source.port | Port of the source. | long |
| tags | List of keywords used to tag each event. | keyword |
| transaction.id | Unique identifier of the transaction within the scope of its trace. A transaction is the highest level of work measured within a service, such as a request to a server. | keyword |
| url.domain | Domain of the url, such as "http://www.elastic.co[www.elastic.co]". In some cases a URL may refer to an IP and/or port directly, without a domain name. In this case, the IP address would go to the domain field. If the URL contains a literal IPv6 address enclosed by [ and ] (IETF RFC 2732), the [ and ] characters should also be captured in the domain field. |
keyword |
| url.extension | The field contains the file extension from the original request url, excluding the leading dot. The file extension is only set if it exists, as not every url has a file extension. The leading period must not be included. For example, the value must be "png", not ".png". Note that when the file name has multiple extensions (example.tar.gz), only the last one should be captured ("gz", not "tar.gz"). | keyword |
| url.fragment | Portion of the url after the #, such as "top". The # is not part of the fragment. |
keyword |
| url.original | Unmodified original url as seen in the event source. Note that in network monitoring, the observed URL may be a full URL, whereas in access logs, the URL is often just represented as a path. This field is meant to represent the URL as it was observed, complete or not. | wildcard |
| url.original.text | Multi-field of url.original. |
match_only_text |
| url.path | Path of the request, such as "/search". | wildcard |
| url.port | Port of the request, such as 443. | long |
| url.query | The query field describes the query string of the request, such as "q=elasticsearch". The ? is excluded from the query string. If a URL contains no ?, there is no query field. If there is a ? but no query, the query field exists with an empty string. The exists query can be used to differentiate between the two cases. |
keyword |
| url.scheme | Scheme of the request, such as "https". Note: The : is not part of the scheme. |
keyword |
| user.name | Short name or login of the user. | keyword |
| user.name.text | Multi-field of user.name. |
match_only_text |
| user_agent.device.name | Name of the device. | keyword |
| user_agent.name | Name of the user agent. | keyword |
| user_agent.original | Unparsed user_agent string. | keyword |
| user_agent.original.text | Multi-field of user_agent.original. |

| user_agent.os.full.text | Multi-field of user_agent.os.full. |
match_only_text |
