Varonis is a data security platform that helps organizations protect their sensitive data from insider threats and cyberattacks. This integration collects and analyzes security alerts from Varonis, enabling real-time threat monitoring, compliance reporting, and incident response.

  • logs: Provides alert data from Varonis syslog. This data stream includes information about alerts generated by Varonis, such as the alert type, severity, file permission changes, and more.

Users can configure the syslog server address in DatAlert so that alerts can be sent to elasticsearch integration.

  • Login to the Varonis UI using admin credentials.
  • In Data Advantage, select Tools > DatAlert > Select DatAlert.
  • From the left menu, select Configuration.
  • In syslog message forwarding, do the following:
    • Syslog server IP address: Enter the IP address of the machine where the Elasticsearch integration agent is running.
    • Port: Enter the UDP port on which this integration will be configured (e.g., 9035).
  • Click Apply.
  1. In DatAlert, select Alert Templates.
  2. Click the Green Plus sign to add a new alert template.
  3. Template name: Select External system default template (CEF).
  4. Apply to alert methods: Select Syslog message.
  5. Click OK.

This integration expects to use External system default template (CEF) for alert forwarding in Varonis DatAlert tool. In case any custom template is used, all the fields in External system default template (CEF) should also be present in custom template along with the other additional fields. Additional fields will be part of varonis.logs object and such fields will be indexed only if dynamic mapping is enabled in Elasticsearch.

Logs documents can be found by setting the following filter: event.dataset : "varonis.logs"
