Signing up for the Elastic Cloud (Elasticsearch managed service) through the Azure Marketplace takes a short time and offers great flexibility, so try it out today. Check it out if you have not already spun up your deployment in anticipation of this blog.

In a previous blog, Getting Started with Elastic Cloud on Microsoft Azure, we showed you how easy it is to get up and running with Elastic Cloud on Azure, taking full advantage of integrated billing. By installing Filebeat as an agent on your servers, you’re able to collect log events and forward them to either Elasticsearch or Logstash for indexing. With that being said, what is Filebeat? Well, Filebeat is a lightweight shipper for forwarding and centralizing log data and files. The first step towards observability is usually log aggregation/analytics. You can also use machine learning to detect anomalies and alerting to let you know what is awry, so you can quickly react to events happening in your environment. We help you bring your logs, metrics, and APM traces together at scale so you can easily assess the current state of your system. Elastic Cloud on Microsoft Azure gives you access to Elastic observability allowing you to monitor your infrastructure and see how every signal interrelates by utilizing a wide variety of resources that can be deployed in minutes.īy using our Elasticsearch managed service on Azure, you get to take advantage of benefits such as one-click upgrades and much more, simplifying your IT operations. There is no predefined dashboard for Firepower devices, so we need to create a new one.The ability to access the internal state of your application ecosystem is critical to optimizing your applications and the experience of your users.

Installing Filebeat Note : I'll install filebeat on the same machine than the Elasticsearch engine.
To do this, we need to declare the syslog server and enable syslog to the rules we want to monitor. The first thing we need to do is to configure our Cisco Firepower to send syslog informations to our Filebeat agent.
Filebeat Architecture Filebeat Architecture. The bad thing is that there is no preset dashboard so we will have to create one manually. One good thing is that Filebeat comes with a Cisco module that can handle Firepower logs sent via syslog. To do this, we're going to work with the Filebeat module.
Elastic Stack 8 - Filebeat to monitor Cisco Firepower FirewallsĬisco Firepower are the worst firewalls in the entire universe, but this is not the object here… I'm only going to talk about monitoring this crap in a Elastic Stack environment.
