Collect One Identity Identity Manager logs
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
- Sign in to the Google SecOps console.
- Go to SIEM Settings > Collection Agents.
-
Download the Ingestion Authentication File. Save the file securely on the system where Bindplane will be installed.
Get Google SecOps customer ID
- Sign in to the Google SecOps console.
- Go to SIEM Settings > Profile.
-
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
- Open Command Promptor PowerShellas an administrator.
-
Run the following command:
msiexec / i "https://github.com/observIQ/bindplane-agent/releases/latest/download/observiq-otel-collector.msi" / quiet -
Wait for the installation to complete.
-
Verify the installation by running:
sc query observiq-otel-collector
The service should show as RUNNING.
Linux installation
- Open a terminal with root or sudo privileges.
-
Run the following command:
sudo sh -c " $( curl -fsSlL https://github.com/observiq/bindplane-agent/releases/latest/download/install_unix.sh ) " install_unix.sh -
Wait for the installation to complete.
-
Verify the installation by running:
sudo systemctl status observiq-otel-collector
The service should show as active (running).
Additional installation resources
For additional installation options and troubleshooting, see Bindplane agent installation guide .
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.yamlwith the following configuration:receivers : tcplog : listen_address : "0.0.0.0:514" exporters : chronicle/one_identity_idm : compression : gzip creds_file_path : '<CREDS_FILE_PATH>' customer_id : '<CUSTOMER_ID>' endpoint : < REGION_ENDPOINT > log_type : ONE_IDENTITY_IDENTITY_MANAGER raw_log_field : body ingestion_labels : env : production service : pipelines : logs/one_identity_idm_to_chronicle : receivers : - tcplog exporters : - chronicle/one_identity_idm
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,1514for 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
- Linux:
-
<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 - See Regional Endpoints for complete list.
- US:
-
Save the configuration file
- After editing, save the file:
- Linux: Press
Ctrl+O, thenEnter, thenCtrl+X - Windows: Click File > Save
- Linux: Press
Restart the Bindplane agent to apply the changes
To restart the Bindplane agent in Linux:
-
Run the following command:
sudo systemctl restart observiq-otel-collector -
Verify the service is running:
sudo systemctl status observiq-otel-collector -
Check logs for errors:
sudo journalctl -u observiq-otel-collector -f
To restart the Bindplane agent in Windows:
-
Choose one of the following options:
- Command Prompt or PowerShell as administrator:
net stop observiq-otel-collector && net start observiq-otel-collector- Services console:
- Press
Win+R, typeservices.msc, and press Enter. - Locate observIQ OpenTelemetry Collector.
- Right-click and select Restart.
- Press
-
Verify the service is running:
sc query observiq-otel-collector -
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.
- Sign in to the One Identity Manager Administration Console(Manager or Designer tool).
- Navigate to Base Data > General > Configuration Parameters.
- Locate the QER\Person\Siemconfiguration section.
- Enable the Universal SIEM Forwarder by setting the Enabledparameter to
True. - 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).
- SyslogHost: Enter the IP address of the Bindplane agent host (for example,
- Configure the event types to forward:
- PersonEvents: Set to
Trueto forward identity lifecycle events (create, modify, delete). - EntitlementEvents: Set to
Trueto forward access assignment and removal events. - PolicyEvents: Set to
Trueto forward policy violation and attestation events. - SystemEvents: Set to
Trueto forward provisioning and synchronization events.
- PersonEvents: Set to
- Click Saveto save the configuration.
- Restart the One Identity Manager Servicefor changes to take effect.
-
Verify that logs are being sent by checking the Bindplane agent logs.
