Learn to parse custom log sources with regex in LogRhythm's MPE rules. Build and integrate custom parsers for single line logs and multi line logs, understand fields, tags, and performance.
Create a new custom log source in the system monitor, enable collecting from all txt files in the directory, and tail logs to verify parsing.
Create and test a base rule regex to parse the user agent field in custom MPE rules, then add checks to capture and build common events from these fields.
Open the web console to review past logs and verify parsing accuracy. See that all logs and common events parse correctly after creating the custom parser.
Learn the basics of regular expressions, using patterns and backslashes to match and extract data, including \w, \d, \s, anchors, groups, and how to parse logs.
Learn to distinguish single line logs, which contain all event details in one line, from multi line logs defined by start and end points for accurate parsing.
Explore the MP policy and the rule builder for custom parsing, including base rules, sub rules, and tagging to extract metadata from log sources.
Explore LogRhythm fields and tags, learn how metadata fields map to tags and default regex, and extract data like IP addresses for web logs.
Create and integrate single-line and multi-line flat-file log sources in LogRhythm, using server text files, custom log source types, and start-end regex parsing.
Learn to craft custom parsers in the MPE Rule Builder by following eight phases, from adding logs and building base and sub rules to testing and deployment.
Monitor AMP Rule Builder performance using Windows Performance Monitor, logarithm system metrics, and log files. Identify unprocessed log queues, timeouts, and affected log sources to troubleshoot custom parsers.
Hello everyone, and welcome to the LogRhythm Custom MPE Rules Course. in this course, we will Parse Custom Log Sources by using Regular Expressions
My name is Adeel and I am a Cyber Security Engineer with more than 10 years of experience.
I will be your instructor in this course.
If you are working on LogRhythm SIEM as an administrator and you have custom log sources in your environment that you want to integrate with LogRhythm, then this is the perfect course for you.
Also, if you want to learn about custom parsing in LogRhythm and want to know how parsing works in LogRhythm, you can join this course.
By the time you are done with this course, you are going to be skilled in writing regex in LogRhythm, creating custom parsers in LogRhythm, and also integrating custom log sources with LogRhythm.
My goal in this course is to help you with creating and applying a custom parser and integrating custom log sources.
I want to take a few minutes and I want to walk through the curriculum because I need you to understand what you are going to learn before you jump into the course material.
Let’s go ahead and take a look at that right now.
This course is broken up into 7 main sections.
Number one is Regex Overview & Basic Regex Writing.
Number two is log types—single-line and multi-line log.
Number three is the Message Processing Engine – Policy, Rule Builder, Base Rule, and Sub Rules.
Number four is LogRhythm fields and tags.
Number five is Custom Log Source Creation & Integration.
Number six is Custom Parser Creation.
Number Seven is MPE Performance Monitoring.
