Drop events using the sidecar collector

I am having trouble establishing a configuration to remove noise from my DCS. For example this configuration where I try to drop logs from a specific user:

# Needed for Graylog
fields_under_root: true
fields.source: ${sidecar.nodeName}
fields.gl2_source_collector: ${sidecar.nodeId}

output.logstash:
  hosts: ["10.0.0.53:5044"]
path:
  data: C:\Program Files\Graylog\sidecar\cache\winlogbeat\data
  logs: C:\Program Files\Graylog\sidecar\logs
tags:
  - windows
winlogbeat:
  event_logs:
    - name: Application
    - name: System
    - name: Security
      processors:
        - drop_event:
                when.and:
                 contains:
                     event_data_TargetUserName: sauser
    - name: Microsoft-Windows-Sysmon/Operational
    - name: Windows PowerShell
    - name: DNS Server
    - name: Microsoft-Windows-PrintService/Admin
    - name: Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager/Admin
    - name: Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager/Operational
    - name: Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager/Admin
    - name: Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager/Operational

and this:

# Needed for Graylog
fields_under_root: true
fields.source: ${sidecar.nodeName}
fields.gl2_source_collector: ${sidecar.nodeId}

output.logstash:
  hosts: ["10.0.0.53:5044"]
path:
  data: C:\Program Files\Graylog\sidecar\cache\winlogbeat\data
  logs: C:\Program Files\Graylog\sidecar\logs
tags:

winlogbeat:

    - name: System
    - name: Security
      processors:
        - drop_event.when.or:
            when:
              and:
                - or:
                    - equals.event_data_ProcessName: C:\Program Files\Graylog\sidecar\graylog-sidecar.exe
                - or:
                    - equals.event_data_TargetUserName: user1
                    - equals.event_data_TargetUserName: user2
                - or:
                    - equals.event_data_SubjectUserName: user2
    - name: Microsoft-Windows-Sysmon/Operational
    - name: Windows PowerShell
    - name: DNS Server

    - name: Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager/Admin
    - name: Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager/Operational
    - name: Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager/Admin
    - name: Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager/Operational

None of the configurations had the expected effect. Could someone help me create a useful file?

Hello && Welcome @maiconjs

Perhaps this post may help

Or some type of configuration like this.

winlogbeat.event_logs:
  - name: Application
    ignore_older: 72h

  - name: System

  - name: Security
    event_id: 4625, 4626

  - name: Windows PowerShell
    event_id: 400, 403, 600, 800

  - name: Microsoft-Windows-PowerShell/Operational
    event_id: 4103, 4104, 4105, 4106

Thanks for the welcome. I tried the suggested configuration from the link, but I still keep getting logs from a wildcard user.

Hello
What kind of message do you want ? Can you explain this in greater detail?
Also what does you current configurations look like.

In my DC I have some users that are used by some applications, for reading and operations in the environment (e.g. Kaspersky Endpoint). In the environment I have around 270 stations with windows and I get several logs for each authentication of this service. I need to reduce the noise by removing the logs for these wildcard users.

First you need to know the difference between Service Account SID’s and User account SID’s. What needs to happen is find each SID “A security identifier (SID) is used to uniquely identify a security principal or security group. Security principals can represent any entity that can be authenticated by the operating system, such as a user account, a computer account, or a thread or process that runs in the security context of a user or computer account.”

Then you need to filter out what you want and drop the rest.

Example:

Administrator       S-1-5-21-2720602528-101527634-271158134-500
DefaultAccount      S-1-5-21-2720602528-101527634-271158134-503
Guest               S-1-5-21-2720602528-101527634-271158134-501

Please look here.

But I am wanting to do a configuration from scratch to drop events not only from users but also from executables that appear in the logs.

I think you are only running into some syntax issues in your configuration. The logs to a good job telling you if it has an issue with the Collector configuration (in your original post, you have sidecar logs at: C:\Program Files\Graylog\sidecar\logs)

Here are some rearranged syntax… I haven’t tested them yet… maybe later today… but they fit a little better with what I have had working in the past. Most specifically, I think the fields need the winlog. in front of them… at least that worked for me. (Noting that in my Graylog it shows as winlog_ but the beat wants winlog.)

    - name: Security
      processors:
        - drop_event.when:
            contains:
              winlog.event_data_TargetUserName: sauser

in this second case you have above, you had when in there twice… not sure that would work…

    - name: Security
      processors:
        - drop_event.when:
          - or:
              - equals.winlog.event_data_ProcessName: C:\Program Files\Graylog\sidecar\graylog-sidecar.exe
              - equals.winlog.event_data_TargetUserName: user1
              - equals.winlog.event_data_TargetUserName: user2
              - equals.winlog.event_data_SubjectUserName: user2

@tmacgbay Thanks for your support.

I am taking the necessary care with the YAML formatting. I am doing the edits using Visual Code.
I tried to do as posted above, but I keep getting logs from a specific user. Both sidecar.log and winlogbeat.log showed no errors.

sidecar.log:

One other fact, I am using winlogbeat version 7.17.1. Could there be a problem with this version?

11

not that I know of - did you add in the winlog portion with the dot to the field name?

12

Yes, it complies with winlogbeat 7.17 standards:

    - name: Security
      processors:
        - drop_event.when:
            contains:
              winlog.event_data_TargetUserName: user1
13

I finally got a chance to do some testing since I wanted to drop some of the junk coming into my system…

Try putting a dot between data and TargetUserName

     - name: Security
      processors:
        - drop_event.when:
            contains:
              winlog.event_data.TargetUserName: user1

Graylog is converting the . to _

14

bingo @tmacgbay

It was precisely “_” that had no effect and no error. After changing to the “.”, the filtering was done.

Here is the tested configuration:

# Needed for Graylog
fields_under_root: true
fields.source: ${sidecar.nodeName}
fields.gl2_source_collector: ${sidecar.nodeId}

output.logstash:
  hosts: ["10.0.0.53:5044"]
path:
  data: C:\Program Files\Graylog\sidecar\cache\winlogbeat\data
  logs: C:\Program Files\Graylog\sidecar\logs
tags:
  - windows
winlogbeat:
  event_logs:
    - name: Application
    - name: System
    - name: Security
      processors:
        - drop_event.when:
            or:
              - contains:
                  winlog.event_data.TargetUserName: user1
              - contains:
                  winlog.event_data.TargetUserName: user2
              - contains:
                  winlog.event_data.SubjectUserName: user2
    - name: Microsoft-Windows-Sysmon/Operational
    - name: Windows PowerShell
    - name: DNS Server
    - name: Microsoft-Windows-PrintService/Admin
    - name: Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager/Admin
    - name: Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager/Operational
    - name: Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager/Admin
    - name: Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager/Operational

thank you very much @tmacgbay

My thanks also to @gsmith . Your information about SID was valuable and I already plan to apply.

I have one more problem, I am having trouble with drop events related to .exe.

to make sure they are string values, elasticsearch has quotes around the values… you could possibly use a regex solution such as:

- regexp:
      winlog.event_data.ProcessName: "sidecar\.exe$"  # Anything that ends ($) with sidecar.exe

You may need to use the debug() function to find out what the actual field is…

Problem solved. To block events coming from “winlog.event_data.ProcessName”, I put the complete path with exe, but with two backslashes. Ex:

# Needed for Graylog
fields_under_root: true
fields.source: ${sidecar.nodeName}
fields.gl2_source_collector: ${sidecar.nodeId}

output.logstash:
  hosts: ["10.0.0.53:5044"]
path:
  data: C:\Program Files\Graylog\sidecar\cache\winlogbeat\data
  logs: C:\Program Files\Graylog\sidecar\logs
tags:
  - windows
winlogbeat:
  event_logs:
    - name: Application
    - name: System
    - name: Security
      processors:
        - drop_event.when:
            or:
              - contains:
                  winlog.event_data.ProcessName: "C:\\Program Files\\Graylog\\sidecar\\graylog-sidecar.exe"
