Suricata

Scanner supports Suricata EVE logs, which contain information relevant to network intrusion detection. In order for Scanner to see them, you need to configure a worfklow to push logs to an S3 bucket that Scanner is linked to.

Step 1: Publish to S3

You can follow the Suricata documentation to configure it to export EVE JSON logs to a single file on local disk. See: Eve JSON Output.

This can be quite the firehose of data, so make sure to set up log file rotation to prevent your hard disk from filling up. See the Suricata documentation here: Rotate log file.

You can follow the Fluentd documentation to configure it to read Suricata logs from local file and write the logs to your S3 bucket. Make sure to configure the output format to be JSON. See the following Fluentd documentation articles:

Step 2: Ingest via Scanner Collect

Follow the instructions here to ingest logs from S3 via Scanner Collect
