Configuring receipt of KSMG events

You can configure the receipt of events from the Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway (KSMG) 1.1 mail traffic analysis and filtering system in the KUMA

SIEM system

SIEM system (Security Information and Event Management) is a solution for managing information and events in the organization security system.

Configuring event receiving consists of the following steps:

1. Configuring export of KSMG events to KUMA
2. Creating a KUMA collector for receiving KSMG events

   To receive KSMG events, in the Collector Installation Wizard, at the Event parsing step, select the [OOTB] KSMG normalizer.

3. Installing a KUMA collector for receiving KSMG events.
4. Verifying receipt of KSMG events in the KUMA collector

   You can verify that the KSMG event source server is correctly configured in the Searching for related events section of the KUMA Console.

Configuring export of KSMG events to KUMA

To configure the export of KSMG events to KUMA:

1. Connect to the KSMG server via SSH using an account with administrator rights.
2. Use the ksmg-control utility to download the settings to the settings.xml file:

   sudo /opt/kaspersky/ksmg/bin/ksmg-control --get-settings EventLogger -n -f /tmp/settings.xml

3. Make sure that the settings in the /tmp/settings.xml file have the following values; make changes if necessary:

   <siemSettings>

   <enabled>1</enabled>

   <facility>Local1</facility>

4. Apply settings with the following command:

   sudo /opt/kaspersky/ksmg/bin/ksmg-control --set-settings EventLogger -n -f /tmp/settings.xml

5. To send events via UDP, make the following changes to the /etc/rsyslog.conf configuration file:

   $WorkDirectory /var/lib/rsyslog

   $ActionQueueFileName ForwardToSIEM

   $ActionQueueMaxDiskSpace 1g

   $ActionQueueSaveOnShutdown on

   $ActionQueueType LinkedList

   $ActionResumeRetryCount -1

   local1.* @<<IP address of the KUMA collector>:<port of the collector>>

   If you want to send events over TCP, the last line should be as follows:

   local1.* @@<<IP address of the KUMA collector>:<port of the collector>>

6. Save your changes.
7. Restart the rsyslog service with the following command:

   sudo systemctl restart rsyslog.service
