Ingest Symantec Proxy Secure Gateway (Blue Coat Proxy) Data into Cloud SIEM

This article has instructions for collecting Symantec Proxy Secure Gateway (ProxySG) log messages as comma-separated values (CSV) and sending them to Sumo Logic to be ingested by Cloud SIEM. While this article shows how to configure and ingest logs as CSV, Cloud SIEM also supports Common Event Format (CEF) ProxySG logs.

Sumo Logic Cloud SIEM supports the following Proxy Secure Gateway logging fields:

dt,time,c-ip,cs-username,x-exception-id,sc-filter-result,cs-categories,cs-referer,sc-status,proxy_cache_code,cs-method,cs-content-type,cs-protocol,cs-host,cs-uri-port,c-uri,cs-uri-query,cs-uri-extension,cs-user-agent,s-ip,sc-bytes,cs-bytes,x-bluecoat-access-type,x-bluecoat-application-name,r-ip

Cloud SIEM supports collection either from a file or over syslog. Instructions for syslog are included in this article.

To ingest Symantec Proxy Secure Gateway data into Cloud SIEM:

  1. Configure a Syslog source on a collector. When you configure the source, do the following:
    1. Click the +Add Field link, and add a field whose name is _siemForward and value is true. This will ensure all logs for this source are forwarded to Cloud SIEM.
    2. Add another field named _parser with value /Parsers/System/Blue Coat/Blue Coat ProxySG CSV. This ensures that the Symantec Proxy Secure Gateway (Blue Coat Proxy) logs are parsed and normalized into structured records in Cloud SIEM.
  2. Configure ProxySG to forward access logs to the the syslog source. For instructions, see Sending Access Logs to a Syslog Server on the Broadcom knowledge site. 
  3. To verify that your logs are successfully making it into Cloud SIEM:
    1. Classic UI. In the top menu select Configuration, and then under Incoming Data select Log Mappings.
      New UI. In the top menu select Configuration, and then under Cloud SIEM Integrations select Log Mappings. You can also click the Go To... menu at the top of the screen and select Log Mappings.
    2. On the Log Mappings tab search for "ProxySG" and check the Records columns. A list of mappers for ProxySG will appear and you can see if logs are coming in.
    3. For a more granular look at the incoming records, you can also search Sumo Logic for ProxySG records:
      _index=sec_record* and metadata_product = "Proxy Secure Gateway"
