    I have PIM integrated with Splunk and having following questions on logs.

    1. What are the fileds(or list of fields) appearing in events collected by Splunk?
    2. Can someone explain the log format(like sequesnce of fileds in log)?

    Sample event collected in Splunk-

    Hello Pravin,

     

    The logs are in syslog format and most of the fields should be self explaining.

    An overview of the the audit events that the Event Forwarder forwards to a Syslog server are listed here:

    SIEM Events - CA Privileged Identity Manager - 14.0 - CA Technologies Documentation 

     

    A description of Endpoint specific audit events are described in more details here:

    Audit Log Records - CA Privileged Identity Manager - 14.0 - CA Technologies Documentation

    Hi Andreas,

    Thank you for the response. Suggested link tell us about different types of events will be appeared in SIEM integration. Our customer is looking for the fields of each event type.

    As you said, event format is syslog and most of them are self-explanatory but still cannot get some of them.

    In the sample event, looks like it is 'pipe' separated format the first field is then "Mar 1 10:36:18 S137AF5.netf.adint.ssa.gov S137AF5 CEF Ver1.0". It has date and time with our distribution server name appeared in FQDN and in short name with additional information about CEF version. So, in short, first field provides more than one form of information.

    Also, there are fields like "1" and "4" which are not self-explanatory.

    If you can help me to get information on all fields would be great help.

    Thanks,

    Pravin Bhole

    Hello Pravin,

     

    I guess the reason why the first "field” in your case is not resolved correctly is a known issue in the EventForwarder - please open a Support Case with us and we wil provide you with a fix for this.
