Collect Check Point EDR logs

Supported in:

Google secops SIEM

This document explains how to ingest Check Point Antivirus logs to Google Security Operations using Bindplane. The parser handles logs from Check Point SandBlast, converting both SYSLOG + KV and SYSLOG + CEF formatted logs into the Unified Data Model (UDM). The parser extracts fields from CEF messages using included modules and maps them to UDM fields, handling various event types and enriching the data with additional context from the raw logs. For non-CEF messages, the parser uses key-value extraction, grok patterns, and conditional logic to map relevant fields to the EDR UDM schema.

Before you begin

Make sure you have the following prerequisites:

Google SecOps instance
Windows 2016 or later, or a Linux host with systemd
If running behind a proxy, firewall ports are open
Privileged access to Check Point Appliance with SandBlast

Get Google SecOps ingestion authentication file

Sign in to the Google SecOps console.
Go to SIEM Settings > Collection Agents.
Download the Ingestion Authentication File. Save the file securely on the system where Bindplane will be installed.

Get Google SecOps customer ID

Sign in to the Google SecOps console.
Go to SIEM Settings > Profile.
Copy and save the Customer IDfrom the Organization Detailssection.

Install the Bindplane agent

Windows installation

Open the Command Promptor PowerShellas an administrator.

Run the following command:

  msiexec 
  
 / 
 i 
  
 "https://github.com/observIQ/bindplane-agent/releases/latest/download/observiq-otel-collector.msi" 
  
 / 
 quiet

Linux installation

Open a terminal with root or sudo privileges.

Run the following command:

 sudo  
sh  
-c  
 " 
 $( 
curl  
-fsSlL  
https://github.com/observiq/bindplane-agent/releases/latest/download/install_unix.sh ) 
 " 
  
install_unix.sh

Additional installation resources

For additional installation options, consult the installation guide .

Configure the Bindplane agent to ingest Syslog and send to Google SecOps

Access the configuration file:
- Locate the config.yaml file. Typically, it's in the /etc/bindplane-agent/ directory on Linux or in the installation directory on Windows.
- Open the file using a text editor (for example, nano , vi , or Notepad).

Edit the config.yaml file as follows:

  receivers 
 : 
  
 udplog 
 : 
  
 # Replace the port and IP address as required 
  
 listen_address 
 : 
  
 "0.0.0.0:514" 
 exporters 
 : 
  
 chronicle/chronicle_w_labels 
 : 
  
 compression 
 : 
  
 gzip 
  
 # Adjust the path to the credentials file you downloaded in Step 1 
  
 creds 
 : 
  
 '/path/to/ingestion-authentication-file.json' 
  
 # Replace with your actual customer ID from Step 2 
  
 customer_id 
 : 
  
< customer_id

 : 
  
 receivers 
 : 
  
 - 
  
 udplog 
  
 exporters 
 : 
  
 - 
  
 chronicle/chronicle_w_labels

Replace the port and IP address as required in your infrastructure.
Replace <customer_id> with the actual customer ID.
Update /path/to/ingestion-authentication-file.json to the path where the authentication file was saved in the Get Google SecOps ingestion authentication file section.

Restart the BindPlane agent to apply the changes

To restart the Bindplane agent in Linux, run the following command:
```
 sudo  
systemctl  
restart  
bindplane-agent 
```
To restart the Bindplane agent in Windows, you can either use the Servicesconsole or enter the following command:
```
 net stop BindPlaneAgent && net start BindPlaneAgent 
```

- Protocol: Select UDP.
- Name: Enter a descriptive name.
- IP Address: Enter the Bindplane agent IP address.
- Port: Enter the Bindplane agent port number.
