Install Integration

Please click on the Install Integration button to configure your stack for this source.

Install the SentinelOne certificate

SentinelOne sends data in an encrypted format.

You need to install the SentinelOne certificate on your Filebeat server.

sudo mkdir /etc/SentinelOne/certificates
sudo openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes \
-keyout /etc/filebeat/certificates/SentinelOne.key -x509 \
-days 365 \
-out /etc/filebeat/certificates/SentinelOne.crt

Install Filebeat

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

Choose the filebeat (opens in a new tab) ZIP file (Windows ZIP x86_64) or
Choose the Microsoft Software Installer MSI (opens in a new tab) file (Windows MSI x86_64 (beta))

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

####################### Logit.io Filebeat Configuration #########################

Start Filebeat

To start Filebeat, run in Powershell:

Start-Service filebeat

Configure SentinelOne to output to syslog

To configure SentinelOne to send logs to your Syslog server, follow these steps:

Open the SentinelOne Admin Console
Select your site
Open the INTEGRATIONS tab
Under Types, select SYSLOG
Toggle the button to enable SYSLOG
In the Host field, enter the IP address and port of your public SYSLOG server
Under Formatting, select CEF2
Save your changes

Configure SentinelOne Notifications

Open the NOTIFICATIONS tab

SentinelOne Logging Overview

SentinelOne is an advanced endpoint security solution that provides comprehensive protection against cyber threats, including malware, ransomware, and other forms of attacks. To effectively monitor and analyze endpoint activity, it's crucial to have a reliable and efficient log management solution. SentinelOne generates logs that capture information about endpoint activity, threats, and user behavior.

To manage these logs effectively, organizations can use Filebeat, an open-source log shipping tool, to send logs from SentinelOne to various destinations, including Elasticsearch, Logstash, and OpenSearch, due to its reliability and ease of use. Filebeat is widely used to send logs from SentinelOne to various destinations, providing organizations with a centralized platform for collecting, processing, and visualizing security-related data.

To send SentinelOne logs to Filebeat, organizations can configure SentinelOne to forward logs to a syslog server and then use Filebeat to collect and forward log data to Elasticsearch or other destinations. This process involves setting up a syslog server to receive the logs, configuring SentinelOne to send logs to the syslog server, and configuring Filebeat to collect and forward the logs from the syslog server to Elasticsearch or other destinations.

In summary, using Filebeat to send SentinelOne logs to various destinations, including Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana, is a reliable and efficient log management solution. By configuring SentinelOne to forward logs to a syslog server and using Filebeat to collect and forward the logs to Elasticsearch or other destinations, organizations can gain insights into endpoint activity, threats, and user behavior and take action to protect their networks against cyber threats.
