Veeam package allows you to monitor various security activities in your Veeam backup infrastructure:

  • Veeam Backup & Replication events

  • Alarms triggered by Veeam ONE

The app gets information from syslog servers integrated with Veeam Backup and Replication and Veeam ONE servers and displays data on the Veeam Data Platform Monitoring dashboard. Security activities are displayed on the Veeam Security Activities dashboard.

The parser normalizes data to a common schema based on CrowdStrike Parsing Standard (CPS) 1.0. This schema allows you to search the data without knowing the data specifically, and just knowing the common schema instead. It also allows you to combine the data more easily with other data sources which conform to the same schema.

Installing the Package in LogScale

Find the repository where you want to send the events, or Creating a Repository or View.

  1. Navigate to your repository in the LogScale interface, click Settings and then Packages on the left.

  2. Click Marketplace and install the LogScale package for (i.e. veeam/veeamdataplatform).

  3. When the package has finished installing, click Ingest tokens on the left still under the Settings.

  4. In the right panel, click + Add Token to create a new token. Give the token an appropriate name (the name of the event hub it will collect logs from), and leave the parser unassigned, assign the parser veeam-event to the LogScale Collector Configuration as described in the documentation Sources & Examples. See Configuring Veeam App for Falcon LogScale for more information on the required settings.

    Before leaving this page, view the ingest token and copy it to your clipboard — to save it temporarily elsewhere.

    Now that you have a repository set up in LogScale along with an ingest token you're ready to send logs to LogScale.

Configurations and Sending the Logs to LogScale

Before you install the package, do the following for each Veeam Backup Replication & Veeam ONE instance you plan to use with the app:

  • For Veeam Backup & Replication, make sure that you add your syslog server to the Veeam Backup & Replication console. For more information, see Specifying Syslog Servers in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.

  • For Veeam ONE, make sure that you configure your syslog server in the Veeam ONE server settings. For more information, see Syslog Integration in the Veeam ONE Monitoring Guide.

Verify Data is Arriving in LogScale

Once you have completed the above steps the data should be arriving in your LogScale repository.

Package Contents Explained

This package parses incoming data, and normalizing the data as part of that parsing. The parser normalizes the data to CrowdStrike Parsing Standard (CPS) 1.0 schema based on OpenTelemetry standards, while still preserving the original data.

If you want to search using the original field names and values, you can access those in the fields whose names are prefixed with the word Vendor. Fields which are not prefixed with Vendor are standard fields which are either based on the schema (for example, source.ip) or on LogScale conventions (@rawstring).

The fields which the parser currently maps the data to, are chosen based on what seems the most relevant, and will potentially be expanded in the future. But the parser won't necessarily normalize every field that has potential to be normalized.
