Collect Jamf Protect logs

This document describes how you can collect Jamf Protect logs by setting up a Google Security Operations feed and how log fields map to Google Security Operations Unified Data Model (UDM) fields. This document also lists the supported Jamf Protect version.

For more information, see Data ingestion to Google Security Operations .

A typical deployment consists of Jamf Protect and the Google Security Operations feed configured to send logs to Google Security Operations. Each customer deployment can differ and might be more complex.

The deployment contains the following components:

• Jamf Protect. The Jamf Protect platform from which you collect logs.

• Google Security Operations feed. The Google Security Operations feed that fetches logs from Jamf Protect and writes logs to Google Security Operations.

• Google Security Operations. Google Security Operations retains and analyzes the logs from Jamf Protect.

An ingestion label identifies the parser which normalizes raw log data to structured UDM format. The information in this document applies to the parser with the JAMF_PROTECT ingestion label.

Before you begin

Ensure you have the following prerequisites:

• A Jamf Protect set up
• Jamf Protect version 4.0.0 or later
• All systems in the deployment architecture are configured with the UTC time zone.

Set up feeds

You can use either Amazon S3 or a webhook to set up an ingestion feed in Google SecOps.

To configure this log type, follow these steps:

1. Go to SIEM Settings > Feeds.
2. Click Add New Feed.
3. Click the JAMFfeed pack.
4. Specify the values for the following fields:
   • Source Type: Webhook (Recommended)
   • Split delimiter: The delimiter that is used to separate log lines, such as \n .

Advanced options

• Feed Name: A prepopulated value that identifies the feed.
• Asset Namespace: Namespace associated with the feed .
• Ingestion Labels: Labels applied to all events from this feed.
• Click Create Feed.

For more information about configuring multiple feeds for different log types within this product family, see Configure feeds by product .

Create an API key for a webhook feed

1. Go to Google Cloud console > Credentials.

   Go to Credentials

2. Click Create credentials, and then select API key.

3. Restrict the API key access to the Google Security Operations API.

Set up Jamf Protect for a webhook feed

1. In the Jamf Protect application, navigate to the related Action configuration.
2. To add a new Data endpoint, click Create Actions.
3. Select HTTPas the protocol.
4. Enter the HTTPS URL of the Google Security Operations API endpoint in the URLfield. (This is the Endpoint Informationfield that you copied from the webhook feed setup. It's already in the required format.)

5. Enable authentication by specifying the API keyand Secret keyas part of the custom header in the following format:

    X-goog-api-key = API_KEY 
   X-Webhook-Access-Key = SECRET 
    
   

   Recommendation: Specify the API key as a header instead of specifying it in the URL. If your webhook client doesn't support custom headers, you can specify the API keyand Secret keyusing query parameters in the following format:

     ENDPOINT_URL 
   ?key= API_KEY 
   &secret= SECRET 
    
   

   Replace the following:

   • ENDPOINT_URL : The feed endpoint URL.
   • API_KEY : The API key to authenticate to Google Security Operations.
   • SECRET : The secret key that you generated to authenticate the feed.

6. In the Collect Logssection, select Alerts & Unified Logs.

7. Click Submit.

For more information about Google Security Operations feeds, see Google Security Operations feeds documentation . For information about requirements for each feed type, see Feed configuration by type .

If you encounter issues when you create feeds, contact Google Security Operations support .
