This integration is for Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) logs. It can be used to receive logs sent by SEP over syslog or read logs exported to a text file.

The log message is expected to be in CSV format. Syslog RFC3164 and RCF5424 headers are allowed and will be parsed if present. The data is mapped to ECS fields where applicable and the remaining fields are written under symantec_endpoint.log.*.

If a specific SEP log type is detected then event.provider is set (e.g. Agent Traffic Log).

  1. Enable this integration with the UDP input.
  2. If the Symantec management server and Elastic Agent are running on different hosts then configure the integration to listen on 0.0.0.0 so that it will accept UDP packets on all interfaces. This makes the listening port reachable by the Symantec server.
  3. Configure the Symantec management server to send syslog to the Elastic Agent that is running this integration. See Exporting data to a Syslog server in the SEP guide. Use the IP address or hostname of the Elastic Agent as the syslog server address. And use the listen port as the destination port (default is 9008).
  1. Configure the Symantec management server to export log data to a text file. See Exporting log data to a text file.
  2. Enable this integration with the log file input. Configure the input to read from the location where the log files are being written. The default is C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\data\dump*.log.

Logs exported to text file always begin with the event time and severity columns (e.g. 2020-01-16 08:00:31,Critical,...).

Below are samples of some different SEP log types. These examples have had their syslog header removed, but when sent over syslog these lines typically begin with an RFC3164 header like <51>Oct 3 10:38:14 symantec.endpointprotection.test SymantecServer:
