Collect Cisco AMP for Endpoints logs

Supported in:

This document explains how to ingest Cisco AMP for Endpoints logs to Google Security Operations using Google Cloud Storage. The parser transforms raw JSON formatted logs into a structured format conforming to the Chronicle UDM. It extracts fields from nested JSON objects, maps them to the UDM schema, identifies event categories, assigns severity levels, and ultimately generates a unified event output, flagging security alerts when specific conditions are met.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

  • A Google SecOps instance
  • 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 Cisco AMP for Endpoints console

Collect Cisco AMP for Endpoints API credentials

  1. Sign in to the Cisco AMP for Endpoints console.
  2. Go to Accounts > API Credentials.
  3. Click New API Credentialto create a new API key and client ID.
  4. Provide the following configuration details:
    • Application Name: Enter a name (for example, Chronicle SecOps Integration ).
    • Scope: Select Read-onlyfor basic event polling.
  5. Click Create.
  6. Copy and save in a secure location the following details:
    • 3API Client ID
    • API Key
    • API Base URL: Depending on your region:
      • US: https://api.amp.cisco.com
      • EU: https://api.eu.amp.cisco.com
      • APJC: https://api.apjc.amp.cisco.com

Verify permissions

To verify the account has the required permissions:

  1. Sign in to Cisco AMP for Endpoints console.
  2. Go to Accounts > API Credentials.
  3. If you can see the API Credentialspage and your newly created credential is listed, you have the required permissions.
  4. If you cannot see this option, contact your administrator to grant API access permissions.

Test API access

  • Test your credentials before proceeding with the integration:

      # Replace with your actual credentials 
     AMP_CLIENT_ID 
     = 
     "your-client-id" 
     AMP_API_KEY 
     = 
     "your-api-key" 
     API_BASE 
     = 
     "https://api.amp.cisco.com" 
     # Test API access 
    curl  
    -v  
    -u  
     " 
     ${ 
     AMP_CLIENT_ID 
     } 
     : 
     ${ 
     AMP_API_KEY 
     } 
     " 
      
     " 
     ${ 
     API_BASE 
     } 
     /v1/events?limit=1"

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 cisco-amp-events-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 ( cisco-amp-events-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.
  2. Click Force runto trigger the job manually.
  3. Wait a few seconds.
  4. Go to Cloud Run > Services.
  5. Click your function name ( cisco-amp-events-collector ).
  6. Click the Logstab.
  7. Verify the function executed successfully. Look for the following:

     Fetching logs from YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS+00:00 to YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS+00:00
    Page 1: Retrieved X events
    Wrote X records to gs://cisco-amp-logs/cisco-amp-events/cisco_amp_events_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.ndjson
    Successfully processed X records 
    
  8. Go to Cloud Storage > Buckets.

  9. Click your bucket name.

  10. Navigate to the prefix folder ( cisco-amp-events/ ).

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

If you see errors in the logs:

  • HTTP 401: Check API credentials in environment variables
  • HTTP 403: Verify account has required permissions
  • HTTP 429: Rate limiting - function will automatically retry with backoff
  • Missing environment variables: Check all required variables are set
