Collect SailPoint IAM logs

Supported in:

This document explains how to ingest SailPoint IAM logs to Google Security Operations using Google Cloud Storage. SailPoint Identity Security Cloud provides identity governance and administration capabilities for managing user access, compliance, and security across enterprise applications.

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 SailPoint Identity Security Cloud tenant or API

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, sailpoint-iam-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.

Collect SailPoint Identity Security Cloud API credentials

  1. Sign in to the SailPoint Identity Security Cloud Admin Consoleas an administrator.
  2. Go to Admin > Global > Security Settings > API Management.
  3. Click Create API Client.
  4. Choose Client Credentialsas the grant type.
  5. Provide the following configuration details:
    • Name: Enter a descriptive name (for example, Chronicle Export API ).
    • Description: Enter description for the API client.
    • Scopes: Select sp:scopes:all(or appropriate read scopes for audit events).
  6. Click Createand copy the generated API credentials securely.
  7. Record your SailPoint tenant base URL (for example, https://tenant.api.identitynow.com ).
  8. Copy and save in a secure location the following details:

    • IDN_CLIENT_ID
    • IDN_CLIENT_SECRET
    • IDN_BASE

Test API access

  • Test your credentials before proceeding with the integration:

      # Replace with your actual credentials 
     IDN_CLIENT_ID 
     = 
     "your-client-id" 
     IDN_CLIENT_SECRET 
     = 
     "your-client-secret" 
     IDN_BASE 
     = 
     "https://tenant.api.identitynow.com" 
     # Get OAuth token 
     TOKEN 
     = 
     $( 
    curl  
    -s  
    -X  
    POST  
     " 
     ${ 
     IDN_BASE 
     } 
     /oauth/token" 
      
     \ 
      
    -H  
     "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" 
      
     \ 
      
    -d  
     "grant_type=client_credentials&client_id= 
     ${ 
     IDN_CLIENT_ID 
     } 
    & client_secret= 
     ${ 
     IDN_CLIENT_SECRET 
     } 
    & scope=sp:scopes:all" 
      
     | 
      
    jq  
    -r  
     '.access_token' 
     ) 
     # Test API access 
    curl  
    -v  
    -H  
     "Authorization: Bearer 
     ${ 
     TOKEN 
     } 
     " 
      
     " 
     ${ 
     IDN_BASE 
     } 
     /v3/search" 
      
     \ 
      
    -H  
     "Content-Type: application/json" 
      
     \ 
      
    -d  
     '{"indices":["events"],"query":{"query":"*"},"limit":1}' 
     
    

The Cloud Run function needs a service account with permissions to write to GCS bucket.

  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 sailpoint-iam-collector-sa .
    • Service account description: Enter Service account for Cloud Run function to collect SailPoint IAM logs .
  4. Click Create and Continue.
  5. In the Grant this service account access to projectsection:
    1. Click Select a role.
    2. Search for and select Storage Object Admin.
    3. Click + Add another role.
    4. Search for and select Cloud Run Invoker.
    5. Click + Add another role.
    6. Search for and select Cloud Functions Invoker.
  6. Click Continue.
  7. Click Done.

These roles are required for:

  • Storage Object Admin: Write logs to GCS bucket and manage state files
  • Cloud Run Invoker: Allow Pub/Sub to invoke the function
  • Cloud Functions Invoker: Allow function invocation

Grant IAM permissions on GCS bucket

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 sailpoint-iam-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 ( sailpoint-iam-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 scheduler job

  1. In the Cloud Schedulerconsole, find your job.
  2. Click Force runto trigger manually.
  3. Wait a few seconds and go to Cloud Run > Services > sailpoint-iam-collector > Logs.
  4. Verify the function executed successfully.
  5. Check the GCS bucket to confirm logs were written.

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, SailPoint IAM logs ).
  5. Select Google Cloud Storage V2as the Source type.
  6. Select SailPoint IAMas the Log type.
  7. Click Get Service Account. A unique service account email is displayed, for example:

      chronicle 
     - 
     12345678 
     @chronicle 
     - 
     gcp 
     - 
     prod 
     . 
     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.
  3. Go to the Permissionstab.
  4. Click Grant access.
  5. Provide the following configuration details:
    • Add principals: Paste the Google SecOps service account email.
    • Assign roles: Select Storage Object Viewer.
  6. Click Save.

Configure a feed in Google SecOps to ingest SailPoint IAM logs

  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, SailPoint IAM logs ).
  5. Select Google Cloud Storage V2as the Source type.
  6. Select SailPoint IAMas the Log type.
  7. Click Next.
  8. Specify values for the following input parameters:

    • Storage bucket URL: Enter the GCS bucket URI with the prefix path:

       gs://sailpoint-iam-logs/sailpoint/iam/ 
      
      • Replace:

        • sailpoint-iam-logs : Your GCS bucket name.
        • sailpoint/iam/ : Optional prefix/folder path where logs are stored (leave empty for root).
      • Examples:

        • Root bucket: gs://company-logs/
        • With prefix: gs://company-logs/sailpoint-logs/
        • With subfolder: gs://company-logs/sailpoint/iam/
    • Source deletion option: Select the deletion option according to your preference:

      • Never: Never deletes any files after transfers (recommended for testing).
      • Delete transferred files: Deletes files after successful transfer.
      • Delete transferred files and empty directories: Deletes files and empty directories after successful transfer.

    • Maximum File Age: Include files modified in the last number of days. Default is 180 days.

    • Asset namespace: The asset namespace .

    • Ingestion labels: The label to be applied to the events from this feed.

  9. Click Next.

  10. Review your new feed configuration in the Finalizescreen, and then click Submit.
