InsightIDR Event Sources

To send your logs to InsightIDR, you can forward them from a Security Information and Event Management system (SIEM) or you can collect the log events directly from the log sources, described below. Note that you can combine these two methods and forward some log event types from the SIEM and then collect the rest directly.

A Rapid7 collector requires each stream of syslog logs to be sent to it on a unique TCP or UDP port. You will need to configure each device that will send logs using syslog to send the logs over a TCP or UDP port that is unique on that collector. It is common to start sending the logs using port 10000, although you may use any open unique port. For Linux collectors, the ports used must be higher than 1024.

Event sources only parse logs in English

Currently, the data we receive from an Event Source needs to be in English to be parsed. If ingested data fields are not in English, the data will go to the Unparsed Data logset.

Rapid7 Universal Event Sources

InsightIDR can now universally support selected data types from any product’s logs, so long as you convert the log output from your product to JSON that matches the Universal Event Format (UEF) contract.

Raw Data Event Sources

Raw Data event sources allow you to collect log events that do not fit InsightIDR's user behavior model or are otherwise unsupported at this time. Raw Data event sources allow you to collect and ingest data for log centralization, search, and data visualization from any event source in your network.
