Collect One Identity Identity Manager logs

Supported in:

This document explains how to ingest One Identity Identity Manager logs to Google Security Operations using Bindplane.

One Identity Identity Manager is an identity governance and administration (IGA) platform for managing user identities, access rights, and compliance across hybrid environments. It provides automated provisioning, access requests, attestation, and policy enforcement with a built-in Universal SIEM Forwarder for event export.

Before you begin

Make sure you have the following prerequisites:

  • A Google SecOps instance
  • Windows Server 2016 or later, or Linux host with systemd
  • Network connectivity between the Bindplane agent and the One Identity Identity Manager server
  • If running behind a proxy, ensure firewall ports are open per the Bindplane agent requirements
  • Privileged access to the One Identity Identity Manager administration console with administrator permissions
  • One Identity Identity Manager version 8.x or later with the Universal SIEM Forwarder module installed

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

    curl  
    -fsSlL  
    https://github.com/observiq/bindplane-agent/releases/latest/download/install_unix.sh ) 
     " 
      
    install_unix.sh 
    
  3. Wait for the installation to complete.

  4. Verify the installation by running:

     sudo  
    systemctl  
    status  
    observiq-otel-collector

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

Locate the configuration file

  • Linux:

     sudo  
    systemctl  
    status  
    observiq-otel-collector 
    
  • Windows:

     notepad "C:\Program Files\observIQ OpenTelemetry Collector\config.yaml" 
    

Edit the configuration file

  • Replace the entire contents of config.yaml with the following configuration:

      receivers 
     : 
      
     tcplog

Configuration parameters

Replace the following placeholders:

  • Receiver configuration:

    • tcplog : Receives syslog over TCP. The Universal SIEM Forwarder supports TCP for reliable delivery.
    • 0.0.0.0:514 : Listens on all interfaces on port 514. Change the port if needed (for example, 1514 for non-root Linux).
  • Exporter configuration:

    • <CREDS_FILE_PATH> : Full path to ingestion authentication file:
      • Linux: /etc/bindplane-agent/ingestion-auth.json
      • Windows: C:\Program Files\observIQ OpenTelemetry Collector\ingestion-auth.json
    • <CUSTOMER_ID> : Customer ID from the Get Google SecOps customer IDstep.
    • <REGION_ENDPOINT> : Regional endpoint URL:
      • US: malachiteingestion-pa.googleapis.com
      • Europe: europe-malachiteingestion-pa.googleapis.com
      • Asia: asia-southeast1-malachiteingestion-pa.googleapis.com

    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:

    • 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 One Identity Identity Manager syslog forwarding

One Identity Identity Manager includes a Universal SIEM Forwarderthat exports audit and identity lifecycle events via syslog in JSON, CEF, or JSON-CIM formats.

  1. Sign in to the One Identity Manager Administration Console(Manager or Designer tool).
  2. Navigate to Base Data > General > Configuration Parameters.
  3. Locate the QER\Person\Siemconfiguration section.
  4. Enable the Universal SIEM Forwarder by setting the Enabledparameter to True .
  5. Configure the syslog destination:
    • SyslogHost: Enter the IP address of the Bindplane agent host (for example, 192.168.1.100 ).
    • SyslogPort: Enter 514 (must match the Bindplane agent receiver port).
    • SyslogProtocol: Select TCP.
    • SyslogFormat: Select JSON(recommended for maximum parsing fidelity).
  6. Configure the event types to forward:
    • PersonEvents: Set to True to forward identity lifecycle events (create, modify, delete).
    • EntitlementEvents: Set to True to forward access assignment and removal events.
    • PolicyEvents: Set to True to forward policy violation and attestation events.
    • SystemEvents: Set to True to forward provisioning and synchronization events.
  7. Click Saveto save the configuration.
  8. Restart the One Identity Manager Servicefor changes to take effect.
  9. Verify that logs are being sent by checking the Bindplane agent logs.
