Collect Google Cloud IDS logs

This document describes how you can collect Google Cloud IDS logs by enabling Google Cloud telemetry ingestion to Google Security Operations and how log fields of Google Cloud IDS logs map to Google Security Operations Unified Data Model (UDM) fields.

For more information, see Data ingestion to Google Security Operations.

A typical deployment consists of Google Cloud IDS logs enabled for ingestion to Google Security Operations. Each customer deployment might differ from this representation and might be more complex.

The deployment contains the following components:

• Google Cloud: The Google Cloud services and products from which you collect logs.

• Google Cloud IDS logs: The Google Cloud IDS logs that are enabled for ingestion to Google Security Operations.

• Google Security Operations: Google Security Operations retains and analyzes the logs from Google Cloud IDS.

An ingestion label identifies the parser which normalizes raw log data to structured UDM format. The information in this document applies to the parser with the GCP_IDS ingestion label.

Before you begin

• Ensure that all systems in the deployment architecture are configured in the UTC time zone.

Configure Google Cloud to ingest Google Cloud IDS logs

To ingest Google Cloud IDS logs to Google Security Operations, follow the steps on the Ingest Google Cloud logs to Google Security Operations page.

If you encounter issues when you ingest Google Cloud IDS logs, contact Google Security Operations support.

Field mapping reference

Field mapping reference: GCP_IDS

The following table lists the log fields of the GCP_IDS log type and their corresponding UDM fields.

Deprecated:

The following labels fields for UDM nouns are deprecated: about.labels, intermediary.labels, observer.labels, principal.labels, src.labels, security_result.about.labels, and target.labels. For existing parsers, in addition to these UDM fields, the logs fields are also mapped to key/value additional.fields UDM fields. For new parsers, the key/value settings in additional.fields UDM fields are used instead of the deprecated labels UDM fields. We recommend that you update the existing rules to use the key/value settings in the additional.fields UDM fields instead of the deprecated labels UDM fields.
