Overview

imageADAudit Plus helps keep your Windows Server ecosystem secure and compliant by providing full visibility into all activities. ADAP does so by collecting event log data from most of your environment’s licensed components, creating Alerts and Reports above it.

Hunters ingest both ADAP Alerts and Reports, and generate alerts for ADAP Alerts, connecting them to other detected activities from other products in your Environment.

Supported data types

Hunters currently support all ADAudit Plus log types. While doing so, these are separated into two distinct logic datatypes (based on the category field):

ADAudit Plus Alerts

Table name: adaudit_plus_alerts

Based on ADAPAlerts category only - Alerts created by ADAudit Plus.

ADAudit Plus Reports

Table name: adaudit_plus_reports

Based on all the other categories, containing ADAudit Reports about actions that occur in your environment.

Send data to Hunters

Hunters supports the ingestion of ADAudit Plus logs via an intermediary AWS S3 bucket.

To connect ADAudit Plus logs:

  1. Export your logs from ADAudit Plus to an AWS S3 bucket.

    Read this article from ManageEngine and this Hunters article section to learn how to achieve this.

  2. Once the export is completed and the logs are collected to S3, follow the steps in this section.

Expected format

The logs should be exported from the console. There, it is possible to define separators between the different fields and between the key and the value using the Syslog/SIEM Export in the ADAP SIEM Integration.

Find below two examples of rows in a key-value format Hunters expect to receive the data, with an explicit field separator (here ;) and key-value separator (here = ) :

Category = ADAPAlerts;UNIQUE_ID = 14613552;ALERT_PROFILE = Group Membership Changes;REPORT_PROFILE = Security Group Membership Changes,SEVERITY = 2;TIME_GENERATED = 1638482054;FORMAT_MESSAGE = Member 'CN=User Name,OU=Users,DC=corp,DC=com' was removed from Global Security Group 'SecurityGroup' by 'DOMAIN\admin'.;SOURCE = computer.domain.com,DOMAIN = domain.com

Sample Report row
