Collect Trellix DLP logs

This document explains how to ingest Trellix (formerly McAfee) DLP (Data Loss Prevention) logs to Google Security Operations using Bindplane. This parser processes McAfee DLP logs in CSV format, transforming them into the Unified Data Model (UDM). It cleans the input, parses the CSV data, maps fields to UDM, handles specific DLP event types and severities, and enriches the UDM with additional metadata and security result details.

Before you begin

Make sure you have the following prerequisites:

• Google SecOps instance
• Windows 2016 or later, or a Linux host with systemd
• If running behind a proxy, firewall ports are open
• Privileged access to McAfee EPO
• McAfee DLP Endpoint Extension is installed and active

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's in the /etc/bindplane-agent/ 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 
    : 
     
    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_file_path 
    : 
     
    '/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 
     
    ingestion_labels 
    : 
     
    log_type 
    : 
     
    'MCAFEE_DLP' 
     
    raw_log_field 
    : 
     
    body 
    service 
    : 
     
    pipelines 
    : 
     
    logs/source0__chronicle_w_labels-0 
    : 
     
    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
