Configuring Juniper Networks SRX

Juniper Networks SRX can be configured to log event data in Structured Format

Structured Format

Structured log format represents the syslog data in a key-value pair. Specifying the structured data format can make it easier for applications to extract information from log messages.

Structured-data format complies with the Internet draft, the syslog protocol which can currently be found at http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-syslog-protocol-23.

To configure the Juniper Networks SRX device for structured event format, follow the steps below.

Connect to the Juniper SRX CLI via SSH to its management IP address.
Once logged it then type CLI at the shell prompt and press enter.
Type configure and press enter to get into the configuration mode of the device.
Type the below commands:

set system syslog host <lcp_ip_address> any info
set system syslog host <lcp_ip_address> structured-data

5. To enable the structured logging for security logs, type the following commands.

set security log mode stream
set security log source-address <src_ip_address> 
set security log stream <syslog_stream_name> host <lcp_ip_address>
set security log stream <syslog_stream_name> format sd-syslog

Here,

<src_ip_address> represents the IP address of the Juniper SRX device,
<syslog_stream_name> represents the name which can be assigned to the syslog server, and
<lcp_ip_address> represents the IP address of the LCP.

6. Make sure that logging is enabled on all the security policies, if not, then enable logging using the following commands:

set security policies from-zone <zone-name1> to-zone <zone-name2> policy <policy-name> then log session-close
set security policies from-zone <zone-name1> to-zone <zone-name2> policy <policy-name> then log session-init

7. Configure the hostname on the device using the command:

Here, <hostname> represents the hostname assigned to Juniper Networks SRX device.

8. To save the above executed commands in the configuration, enter commit.

LCP Configuration Parameters

Table 1-2: The Juniper SRX event collector (Syslog - 3652) properties to be configured by MDR are shown in the table.

Property	Default Value	Description
Protocol	UDP	The default protocol for syslog. The collector can also accept logs in TCP. Note: While TCP offers guaranteed delivery of log packets, it places a larger overhead on the LCP. To balance TCP for reliability over UDP for speed/simplicity, contact the MDR onboarding team.
IP Address	Juniper SRX device IP address	Logging device IP address mentioned in the Pre-Installation Questionnaire (PIQ). Note: If the device sends logs using multiple interfaces, contact the MDR onboarding team.

Port Number	514	The default port number for syslog. For TCP, the default port is 601. Note: The LCP can be configured to listen on a non-standard port, please advise the MDR onboarding team if this is a requirement.
