Collect MobileIron logs

Supported in:

Google secops SIEM

This document explains how to ingest MobileIron logs to Google Security Operations using a Bindplane agent. The parser transforms JSON formatted logs into a unified data model (UDM). It extracts fields from the raw JSON, maps them to corresponding UDM attributes, and enriches the data with platform-specific details and security event context.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have a Google SecOps instance.
Ensure that you are using Windows 2016 or later, or a Linux host with systemd .
If running behind a proxy, ensure firewall ports are open.
Ensure that you have privileged access to MobileIron.

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

Windows installation

Open the 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

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

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

Access the configuration file:
1. Locate the config.yaml file. Typically, it's in the /etc/bindplane-agent/ directory on Linux or in the installation directory on Windows.
2. Open the file using a text editor (for example, nano , vi , or Notepad).

Edit the config.yaml file as follows:

  receivers 
 : 
  
 udplog 
 : 
  
 # Replace the port and IP address as required 
  
 listen_address 
 : 
  
 "0.0.0.0:514" 
 exporters 
 : 
  
 chronicle/chronicle_w_labels 
 : 
  
 compression 
 : 
  
 gzip 
  
 # Adjust the path to the credentials file you downloaded in Step 1 
  
 creds 
 : 
  
 '/path/to/ingestion-authentication-file.json' 
  
 # Replace with your actual customer ID from Step 2 
  
 customer_id 
 : 
  
< customer_id 
>  
 endpoint 
 : 
  
 malachiteingestion-pa.googleapis.com 
  
 # Add optional ingestion labels for better organization

 : 
  
 receivers 
 : 
  
 - 
  
 udplog 
  
 exporters 
 : 
  
 - 
  
 chronicle/chronicle_w_labels

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, run the following command:
```
 sudo  
systemctl  
restart  
bindplane-agent 
```
To restart the Bindplane agent in Windows, you can either use the Servicesconsole or enter the following command:
```
 net stop BindPlaneAgent && net start BindPlaneAgent 
```

Configuring Syslog Servers in MobileIron

Sign in to the System Manager.
Go to Settings > Data Export > SysLog Servers.
Click Add.
The Add SysLogwindow should open.
Provide the following configuration details:
- Server: enter the Bindplane IP address and port.
- Protocol: select UDP(you can also select TCPor TLS over TCPdepending on your Bindplane configuration).
- Optional: Trusted Server Certificate: this field displays only if you select TLS over TCPin the Protocol.
- Admin State: Select Enable.
- Severity (facility.level): Enter *.info for all messages with a severity of info or higher.
Click Apply > OKto save the changes.
