Ivanti Connect Secure - Statistics and System Status

Overview

Ivanti Connect Secure gives employees, partners and customers secure and controlled access to corporate data and applications. The applications include file servers, web servers, native messaging, and hosted servers outside your trusted network.

This integration parses the following types of logs:

• Web Requests : Logs provide information about client requests to web-based resources, including successful, failed, blocked, denied, and unauthenticated requests.
• Authentication : Logs provide information about login-related events, SSL negotiation failures, and remote address change events.
• Connection : Logs provide information about connections, including details on bytes transferred, duration, hostname, and IP addresses.
• VPN Tunneling : Logs provide information about ACL-related activity, as well as VPN session related events.
• Statistics : Logs provide information into system usage, including concurrent users, and other performance metrics.
• Administrator Activities : Logs provide information on actions performed by administrators, such as logins, configuration changes, and system management tasks.

Visualize detailed insights into these logs through the out-of-the-box dashboards. Additionally, ready-to-use Cloud SIEM detection rules are available to help you monitor and respond to potential security threats effectively.

Setup

Installation

To install the Ivanti Connect Secure integration, run the following Agent installation command in your terminal, then complete the configuration steps below. For more information, see the Integration Management documentation.

Note: This step is not necessary for Agent version >= 7.59.0.

sudo -u dd-agent -- datadog-agent integration install datadog-ivanti_connect_secure==1.0.0

Configuration

Log collection

1. Collecting logs is disabled by default in the Datadog Agent. Enable it in datadog.yaml:

   logs_enabled: true
   

   Copy

2. Add this configuration block to your ivanti_connect_secure.d/conf.yaml file to start collecting your logs.

   See the sample ivanti_connect_secure.d/conf.yaml for available configuration options.

   logs:
     - type: tcp # or 'udp'
       port: <PORT>
       source: ivanti-connect-secure
       service: ivanti-connect-secure
   

   Copy

   Note:

   • PORT: Port should be similar to the port provided in Configure syslog message forwarding from Ivanti Connect Secure section.
   • It is recommended not to change the service and source values, as these parameters are integral to the pipeline’s operation.

3. Restart the Agent.

Configure syslog message forwarding from Ivanti Connect Secure

1. Login in to the Ivanti Connect Secure Admin Portal.
2. Navigate to System > Log/Monitoring > Events.
3. Click the Settings tab.
4. Under Select Events to Log, ensure all event types are selected.
5. Click Save Changes to apply the configuration.
6. Configure the syslog server details in the Syslog Servers section:
   • Server name/IP: Enter the fully qualified domain name or IP address of the syslog server in the format <IP/DOMAIN>:<PORT>.
   • Type: Select either TCP or UDP from the dropdown.
   • Filter: Choose JSON: JSON from the dropdown.
     After entering the required details, click Add.
7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 in the User Access and Admin Access tabs.

Troubleshooting

Permission denied while port binding:

If you see a Permission denied error while port binding in the Agent logs:

1. Binding to a port number under 1024 requires elevated permissions. Grant access to the port using the setcap command:

   sudo setcap CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE=+ep /opt/datadog-agent/bin/agent/agent
   

   Copy

2. Verify the setup is correct by running the getcap command:

   sudo getcap /opt/datadog-agent/bin/agent/agent
   

   Copy

   With the expected output:

   /opt/datadog-agent/bin/agent/agent = cap_net_bind_service+ep
   

   Copy

   Note: Re-run this setcap command every time you upgrade the Agent.

3. Restart the Agent.

Data is not being collected:

Ensure traffic is bypassed from the configured port if the firewall is enabled.

Port already in use:

If you see the Port <PORT_NUMBER> Already in Use error, see the following instructions. The following example is for port 514:

• On systems using Syslog, if the Agent listens for events on port 514, the following error can appear in the Agent logs: Can't start UDP forwarder on port 514: listen udp :514: bind: address already in use. This error occurs because by default, Syslog listens on port 514. To resolve this error, take one of the following steps:
  • Disable Syslog.
  • Configure the Agent to listen on a different, available port.
