    Collect Skyhigh Secure Web Gateway (formerly McAfee Web Gateway) logs

    Supported in:

    This document explains how to ingest Skyhigh Secure Web Gateway (formerly known as McAfee Web Gateway) logs to Google Security Operations using Bindplane.

    Skyhigh Secure Web Gateway is an on-premises web proxy appliance that protects organizations from web-based threats by inspecting HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP traffic. It provides URL filtering, anti-malware scanning, SSL inspection, data loss prevention, and application control capabilities. The appliance enforces web access policies and provides detailed logging of all web activity for compliance and security monitoring.

    Before you begin

    Make sure you have the following prerequisites:

    • A Google SecOps instance.
    • A Windows 2016 or later, or a Linux host with systemd .
    • If running behind a proxy, ensure firewall ports are open.
    • Privileged access to the Skyhigh Secure Web Gateway management console.

    Get Google SecOps ingestion authentication file

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

    Get Google SecOps customer ID

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

    Install the Bindplane agent

    Install the Bindplane agent on your Windows or Linux operating system according to the following instructions.

    Windows installation

    1. Open the Command Promptor PowerShellas an administrator.

    2. Run the following command:

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

    Linux installation

    1. Open a terminal with root or sudo privileges.

    2. 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

    1. Access the configuration file:

      • Locate the config.yaml file. Typically, it is in the /observiq-otel-collector/ directory on Linux or in the installation directory on Windows.
      • Open the file using a text editor (for example, nano , vi , or Notepad).

    2. Edit the config.yaml file as follows:

        receivers 
 : 
  
 tcplog 
 : 
  
 listen_address 
 : 
  
 "0.0.0.0:514" 
 exporters

 customer_id 
 : 
  
 '<customer_id>' 
  
 endpoint 
 : 
  
 malachiteingestion-pa.googleapis.com 
  
 log_type 
 : 
  
 'MCAFEE_WEBPROXY' 
  
 raw_log_field

 ingestion_labels 
 :

 : 
  
 receivers 
 : 
  
 - 
  
 tcplog 
  
 exporters 
 : 
  
 - 
  
 chronicle/mcafee_webproxy
    • 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:

    1. Run the following command:

       sudo  
systemctl  
restart  
observiq-otel-collector

    2. Verify the service is running:

       sudo  
systemctl  
status  
observiq-otel-collector

    3. Check logs for errors:

       sudo  
journalctl  
-u  
observiq-otel-collector  
-f

    To restart the Bindplane agent in Windows:

    1. Choose one of the following options:

      • Command Prompt or PowerShell as administrator:
       net stop observiq-otel-collector && net start observiq-otel-collector
      • Services console:
        1. Press Win+R , type services.msc , and press Enter.
        2. Locate observIQ OpenTelemetry Collector.
        3. Right-click and select Restart.

    2. Verify the service is running:

       sc query observiq-otel-collector

    3. Check logs for errors:

        type 
  
 "C:\Program Files\observIQ OpenTelemetry Collector\log\collector.log"

    Configure syslog forwarding on Skyhigh Secure Web Gateway

    1. Sign in to the Skyhigh Secure Web Gatewaymanagement console.
    2. Go to Policy > Settings > Logging > Syslog.
    3. Click Addto create a new syslog destination.
    4. Provide the following configuration details:
      • Syslog Server: Enter the Bindplane agent IP address (for example, 192.168.1.100 ).
      • Port: Enter 514 .
      • Protocol: Select TCP.
      • Log Level: Select the desired log level (for example, Informationalor higher).
      • Format: Select Best Practices Access Logor the desired log format.
    5. Select the log types to forward:
      • Access Log- records all web traffic passing through the gateway.
      • Block Log- records blocked requests.
      • Scan Log- records anti-malware scan results.
    6. Click Save Changes.

    7. Go to Troubleshooting > Confirm Changesand click Save Changesto apply the configuration.
