Configuring export of FreeIPA events to KUMA

To configure the export of FreeIPA events to KUMA via the Syslog protocol in JSON format:

1. Connect to the FreeIPA server via SSH using an account with administrator rights.
2. In the /etc/rsyslog.d/ directory, create a file named freeipa-to-siem.conf.
3. Add the following lines to the /etc/rsyslog.d/freeipa-to-siem.conf configuration file:

   template(name="ls_json" type="list" option.json="on")

   { constant(value="{")

   constant(value="\"@timestamp\":\"") property(name="timegenerated" dateFormat="rfc3339")

   constant(value="\",\"@version\":\"1")

   constant(value="\",\"message\":\"") property(name="msg")

   constant(value="\",\"host\":\"") property(name="fromhost")

   constant(value="\",\"host_ip\":\"") property(name="fromhost-ip")

   constant(value="\",\"logsource\":\"") property(name="fromhost")

   constant(value="\",\"severity_label\":\"") property(name="syslogseverity-text")

   constant(value="\",\"severity\":\"") property(name="syslogseverity")

   constant(value="\",\"facility_label\":\"") property(name="syslogfacility-text")

   constant(value="\",\"facility\":\"") property(name="syslogfacility")

   constant(value="\",\"program\":\"") property(name="programname")

   constant(value="\",\"pid\":\"") property(name="procid")

   constant(value="\",\"syslogtag\":\"") property(name="syslogtag")

   constant(value="\"}\n")

   }

   *.* @<IP address of the KUMA collector>:<port of the KUMA collector>;ls_json

   You can fill in the last line in accordance with the selected protocol:

   *.* @<192.168.1.10>:<1514>;ls_json for sending events over UDP

   *.* @@<192.168.2.11>:<2514>;ls_json for sending events over TCP
