    Collect Jamf Pro context logs

    Supported in:

    This document explains how to ingest Jamf Pro context logs (device & user context) to (Google Security Operations) using AWS S3using Lambdaand EventBridgeschedule.

    Before you begin

    • Google SecOps instance
    • Privileged access to Jamf Protenant
    • Privileged access to AWS(S3, IAM, Lambda, EventBridge)

    Configure Jamf API Role

    1. Sign in to Jamfweb UI.
    2. Go to Settings > System section > API Roles and Clients.
    3. Select the API Rolestab.
    4. Click New.
    5. Enter a display name for the API role (for example, context_role ).

      • Computer Inventory
      • Mobile Device Inventory

    7. Click Save.

    Configure Jamf API Client

    1. In Jamf Pro, go to Settings > System section > API roles and clients.
    2. Select the APl Clientstab.
    3. Click New.
    4. Enter a display name for the API client (for example, context_client ).

      • Base URL: https://<your>.jamfcloud.com
      • Client ID: UUID.
      • Client Secret: Value is shown once.

    Configure AWS S3 bucket and IAM for Google SecOps

    1. Create Amazon S3 bucketfollowing this user guide: Creating a bucket .
    2. Save bucket Nameand Regionfor future reference (for example, jamfpro ).
    3. Create a Userfollowing this user guide: Creating an IAM user .
    4. Select the created User.
    5. Select Security credentialstab.
    6. Click Create Access Keyin section Access Keys.

 "Version" 
 : 
  
 "2012-10-17" 
 , 
  
 "Statement" 
 : 
  
 [ 
  
 { 
  
 "Sid" 
 : 
  
 "AllowPutJamfObjects" 
 , 
  
 "Effect" 
 : 
  
 "Allow" 
 , 
  
 "Action" 
 : 
  
 "s3:PutObject" 
 , 
  
 "Resource" 
 : 
  
 "arn:aws:s3:::jamfpro/*" 
  
 } 
  
 ] 
 }

    2. Go to AWS console > IAM > Policies > Create policy > JSON tab.

    3. Copy and paste the policy.

    4. Click Next > Create policy.

    5. Go to IAM > Roles > Create role > AWS service > Lambda.

    6. Attach the newly created policy.

    7. Name the role WriteJamfToS3Role and click Create role.

    1. In the AWS Console, go to Lambda > Functions > Create function.
    2. Click Author from scratch.
    3. Provide the following configuration details:
    Setting Value
    Name jamf_pro_to_s3
    Runtime Python 3.13
    Architecture x86_64
    Permissions WriteJamfToS3Role

    1. After the function is created, open the Codetab, delete the stub and enter the following code ( jamf_pro_to_s3.py ):
