Install Filebeat

To get started you will need to install filebeat. To do this you have two main options:

To successfully install filebeat and set up the required Windows service you will need to have administrator access.

If you have chosen to download the zip file:

  • Extract the contents of the zip file into C:\Program Files.
  • Rename the extracted folder to filebeat
  • Open a PowerShell prompt as an Administrator (right-click the PowerShell icon and select Run As Administrator).
  • From the PowerShell prompt, run the following commands to install filebeat as a Windows service:
cd 'C:\Program Files\filebeat'
.\install-service-filebeat.ps1

If script execution is disabled on your system, you need to set the execution policy for the current session to allow the script to run. For example:

PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy UnRestricted -File .\install-service-filebeat.ps1

For more information about Powershell execution policies see here (opens in a new tab).

If you have chosen to download the filebeat.msi file:

  • double-click on it and the relevant files will be downloaded.

At the end of the installation process you'll be given the option to open the folder where filebeat has been installed.

  • Open a PowerShell prompt as an Administrator (right-click the PowerShell icon and select Run As Administrator).
  • From the PowerShell prompt, change directory to the location where filebeat was installed and run the following command to install filebeat as a Windows service:
.\install-service-filebeat.ps1

If script execution is disabled on your system, you need to set the execution policy for the current session to allow the script to run. For example:

PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy UnRestricted -File .\install-service-filebeat.ps1

For more information about Powershell execution policies see here (opens in a new tab).

Configure Filebeat.yml

The configuration file below is pre-configured to send data to your Logit.io Stack.

Copy the configuration file below and overwrite the contents of the Filebeat configuration file typically located at /etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml

Storm Shield Logging Overview

Stormshield is a network security company that provides a range of products and services to protect networks from threats such as viruses, malware, and ransomware. Logging in Stormshield refers to the process of collecting and analyzing log data generated by Stormshield devices to monitor and troubleshoot network security issues.

Stormshield devices generate various types of log data, including system logs, security logs, and application logs. These logs contain information about events such as network traffic, user activity, and security threats.

Stormshield devices provide a range of logging options, including:

Real-time Monitoring: Stormshield devices provide a real-time monitoring interface that enables administrators to view log data in real-time. This can be useful for quickly identifying and responding to security threats or network issues.

Analytics and Reporting: Stormshield devices also provide analytics and reporting capabilities, which enable administrators to analyze log data to identify trends and patterns. This can be useful for identifying areas of the network that may be vulnerable to security threats or for identifying potential performance issues.

Overall, logging in Stormshield devices provides visibility into network activity and security threats, which can help administrators monitor and troubleshoot network issues. Stormshield devices provide a range of logging options, including real-time monitoring, syslog, SNMP traps, and analytics and reporting, which enable administrators to collect and analyze log data to identify and respond to security threats and network issues.
