Configuring the Symantec O3

To configure the Symantec O3 event collector to send logs, follow the steps below.

• To configure audit logging, see Configuring Audit Logging.

• To configure syslog, see Configuring SysLog.

Configuring Audit Logging

The audit logs can be stored to a file or on a syslog server.

1. Click the Edit Profile link at the top right-hand corner of any O3 Intelligence Center page. The Edit Profile dialog box appears.

2. Select the Audit Logging tab. The Audit Logging Configuration page appears.

3. Configure Audit logging by selecting the check boxes of the events to be logged:

• Audit Logging Enabled - Check the check box to enable the logging feature.

• User Events Enabled - Check the check box to log user events.

  • Authorization Request Events Enabled - Check the check box to log authorization request events (which are also user-related events affected by the User Events Enabled check box).

• System Events Enabled - Check the check box to log system-related events.

  • System Error Events Enabled - Check the check box to log system-error events (which are also system-related events affected by the System Events Enabled check box).

• Output Type - Select a value from the drop-down menu to determine where logs will be stored. The LCP supported option is as follows:

  • SysLog - In addition, to store log files on the O3 gateway, this option also stores log files on a sysLog server, as configured in Local Disk Backup on the Backup tab.

Configuring SysLog

The sysLog configuration fields appear only when the SysLog option is selected from the Output Type drop-down menu, when you configure Audit logging, see Configuring Audit Logging.

 Note: The SysLog server is completely independent from O3 Intelligence Center. The SysLog server must support structured SysLog Message Format.

Before you begin, ensure that you have the location and settings for your SysLog server.

 To configure syslog, follow the steps below.

1. Complete the following fields, as required:

• Server - Enter the IP address of the LCP to send O3 Gateway messages.

• Port - Enter the port of the LCP to send O3 Gateway messages.

• Protocol - Select the appropriate protocol that the O3 Gateway must use to send messages to the SysLog server. Collector supported options are as follows:

  • UDP

  • TCP

• Routing Interface - Select the interface from the drop-down list from which the SysLog messages will be sent.

• Security Method - This option determines if the O3 Gateway will add additional information to the log messages to assert message authenticity and ensure that the log messages have not been altered while being transmitted between the O3 Gateway and the SysLog server. 

Note: The HMAC-MD5, HMAC-SHA1, HMAC-SHA256, and HMAC-SHA512 security method options require a password. The Password field appears when any of these security methods are selected.

 2. Click Save.
