To make the Filebeat setup mechanism work, I copied the /usr/share/filebeat/ and /etc/filebeat/modules.d/ directory structures from another server using a prepackaged Filebeat, same version. The GOVERSION variable must be adjusted now and then which version is currently used by Filebeat (and other beats) is mentioned in their release notes.ĭocker run -rm -it -v pwd:/build golang:$/modules.d/*.yml The BEATSVERSION variable is updated when I need a specific version of Filebeat. It uses a Golang Docker image to build the requested version of Filebeat, making the binary file available on a web site. The following bash script runs on a different server.
#RASPBERRY PI FIREWALL BUILDER CONFIG HOW TO#
How to do this is explained a few other places online, I’ve just automated the build process using Docker. But that’s no problem, we’ll build our own! Filebeat is written in the Go Programming Language, in which I can cross compile to other platforms. Building Filebeat for ARMhfĮlastic provides precompiled Filebeat packages for multiple platforms and architectures, but unfortunately not for the ARM architecture that Raspberry Pis are using. The important parts are, after all, shipped elsewhere for safe long term storage. To avoid filling the volume the logs are rotated frequently, with short or no retention. Tmpfs /var/log tmpfs rw,size=1G,nodiratime,noatime,mode=0755,uid=root,gid=root 0 0
On the IDS Raspberry Pi, I’ve mounted the whole /var/log directory structure (and a few others) to tmpfs: There are many HOWTOs for managing that, but this article adds an analytic approach and explains how you can find out what will be effective in your setup. Options include mounting a remote file system and creating a RAM disk ( tmpfs). To help extend the memory card’s lifetime it’s a good practice to mount directories where there’s a lot of read and write activity away from the memory card. The RPi boots from an SHDC memory card, but such cards wear out fast in I/O intensive settings. The contents of the eve.json file will be continuously shipped to an Elasticsearch server for enrichment, analysis, and long-time storage.
Suricata is running nicely on a Raspberry Pi 4, logging all events in JSON format to the default /var/log/suricata/eve.json file. Traffic capturing and streaming with MikroTik – revisited.Compiling Suricata IDS on a Raspberry Pi 4.
#RASPBERRY PI FIREWALL BUILDER CONFIG SERIES#
This blog post is one of a series detailing the various components in this setup. Suricata’s log is read by Elastic’s Filebeat and shipped to an Elasticsearch instance, making the data available for further analysis with Kibana and its SIEM/security capabilities. Currently I’m capturing and streaming all network traffic on my MikroTik router’s outside interface to a remote sensor, namely a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4 GB RAM running Suricata IDS. I’ve recently revamped my home network security monitoring.
