Collect TeamViewer logs

Supported in:

This document explains how to ingest TeamViewer logs to Google Security Operations using Google Cloud Storage. The parser extracts the audit events from JSON formatted logs. It iterates through event details, mapping specific properties to Unified Data Model (UDM) fields, handling participant and presenter information, and categorizing events based on user activity. The parser also performs data transformations, such as merging labels and converting timestamps to a standardized format.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

  • A Google SecOps instance
  • A GCP project with Cloud Storage API enabled
  • Permissions to create and manage GCS buckets
  • Permissions to manage IAM policies on GCS buckets
  • Permissions to create Cloud Run services, Pub/Sub topics, and Cloud Scheduler jobs
  • Privileged access to TeamViewer Management Console
  • TeamViewer Business, Premium, Corporate, or Tensor license (required for API access)

Create Google Cloud Storage bucket

  1. Go to the Google Cloud Console .
  2. Select your project or create a new one.
  3. In the navigation menu, go to Cloud Storage > Buckets.
  4. Click Create bucket.
  5. Provide the following configuration details:

    Setting Value
    Name your bucket Enter a globally unique name (for example, teamviewer-logs )
    Location type Choose based on your needs (Region, Dual-region, Multi-region)
    Location Select the location (for example, us-central1 )
    Storage class Standard (recommended for frequently accessed logs)
    Access control Uniform (recommended)
    Protection tools Optional: Enable object versioning or retention policy
  6. Click Create.

Get TeamViewer prerequisites

  1. Sign in to the TeamViewer Management Consoleat https://login.teamviewer.com/ .
  2. Click on your user icon in the upper right corner and select Edit profile.
  3. Select Apps.
  4. Click Create script token.
  5. Provide the following configuration details:
    • Token name: Enter a descriptive name (for example, Google SecOps Integration ).
    • Permissions: Select the following permissions:
      • Account management > View account data
      • Session management > View session data
      • Connection reporting > View connection reports
  6. Click Create.
  7. Copy and save the generated script token in a secure location.

  8. Record your TeamViewer API Base URL: https://webapi.teamviewer.com/api/v1

Verify permissions

To verify the account has the required permissions:

  1. Sign in to the TeamViewer Management Console.
  2. Go to Edit profile > Apps.
  3. Locate your script token in the list.
  4. Verify that Connection reporting > View connection reportsis enabled.
  5. If this permission is not enabled, edit the token and add the required permission.

Test API access

  • Test your credentials before proceeding with the integration:

      # Replace with your actual script token 
     SCRIPT_TOKEN 
     = 
     "your-script-token" 
     API_BASE 
     = 
     "https://webapi.teamviewer.com/api/v1" 
     # Test API access 
    curl  
    -v  
    -H  
     "Authorization: Bearer 
     ${ 
     SCRIPT_TOKEN 
     } 
     " 
      
     \ 
      
    -H  
     "Accept: application/json" 
      
     \ 
      
     " 
     ${ 
     API_BASE 
     } 
     /reports/connections?from_date=2024-01-01T00:00:00Z&to_date=2024-01-01T01:00:00Z" 
     
    

If you receive a 200 response with JSON data, your credentials are configured correctly.

The Cloud Run function needs a service account with permissions to write to GCS bucket and be invoked by Pub/Sub.

  1. In the GCP Console, go to IAM & Admin > Service Accounts.
  2. Click Create Service Account.
  3. Provide the following configuration details:
    • Service account name: Enter teamviewer-collector-sa .

Create Cloud Scheduler job

Cloud scheduler publishes messages to the Pub/Sub topic at regular intervals, triggering the Cloud Run function.

  1. In the GCP Console, go to Cloud Scheduler.
  2. Click Create Job.
  3. Provide the following configuration details:

    Setting Value
    Name teamviewer-logs-collector-hourly
    Region Select same region as Cloud Run function
    Frequency 0 * * * * (every hour, on the hour)
    Timezone Select timezone (UTC recommended)
    Target type Pub/Sub
    Topic Select the Pub/Sub topic ( teamviewer-logs-trigger )
    Message body {} (empty JSON object)
  4. Click Create.

Schedule frequency options

  • Choose frequency based on log volume and latency requirements:

    Frequency Cron Expression Use Case
    Every 5 minutes
    */5 * * * * High-volume, low-latency
    Every 15 minutes
    */15 * * * * Medium volume
    Every hour
    0 * * * * Standard (recommended)
    Every 6 hours
    0 */6 * * * Low volume, batch processing
    Daily
    0 0 * * * Historical data collection

Test the integration

  1. In the Cloud Schedulerconsole, find your job ( teamviewer-logs-collector-hourly ).
  2. Click Force runto trigger the job manually.
  3. Wait a few seconds.
  4. Go to Cloud Run > Services.
  5. Click on the function name ( teamviewer-logs-collector ).
  6. Click the Logstab.
  7. Verify the function executed successfully. Look for the following:

     Fetching TeamViewer audit data from YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ to YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ
    Retrieved X audit records (total: X)
    Successfully wrote X audit records to teamviewer/audit/YYYY/MM/DD/teamviewer_audit_...json 
    
  8. Go to Cloud Storage > Buckets.

  9. Click your bucket name ( teamviewer-logs ).

  10. Navigate to the prefix folder ( teamviewer/audit/ ).

  11. Verify that a new .json file was created with the current timestamp.

If you see errors in the logs:

  • HTTP 401: Check the SCRIPT_TOKEN environment variable matches your TeamViewer script token
  • HTTP 403: Verify the script token has Connection reporting > View connection reportspermission
  • HTTP 429: Rate limiting - function will automatically retry with exponential backoff
  • Missing environment variables: Check all required variables ( GCS_BUCKET , API_BASE_URL , SCRIPT_TOKEN ) are set

Google SecOps uses a unique service account to read data from your GCS bucket. You must grant this service account access to your bucket.

  1. Go to SIEM Settings > Feeds.
  2. Click Add New Feed.
  3. Click Configure a single feed.
  4. In the Feed namefield, enter a name for the feed (for example, TeamViewer logs ).

     . 
     iam 
     . 
     gserviceaccount 
     . 
     com 
     
    
  8. Copy this email address for use in the next step.

The Google SecOps service account needs Storage Object Viewerrole on your GCS bucket.

  1. Go to Cloud Storage > Buckets.
  2. Click your bucket name ( teamviewer-logs ).
  3. Go to the Permissionstab.
  4. Click Grant access.
  5. Provide the following configuration details:
