Druva - Platform Events

Druva is a cloud data protection and management platform that helps organizations safeguard their data across endpoints, cloud applications, and data center workloads. You can use a webhook in Druva to forward platform events to the Sumo Logic HTTP endpoint. Using these logs, you can monitor cybersecurity threats, backup and restore operations, authentication and admin activities, ransomware recovery, data access, enterprise workloads, and API credential usage in Sumo Logic.

For more details, see the Druva Webhook documentation.

Event types

The Sumo Logic app for Druva Platform Events ingests security and operational events into Sumo Logic through a webhook integration in the Druva Integration Center.

The following event types are used in the Druva Platform Events app:

• Admin and platform access events
• API credential lifecycle events
• Backup and restore events
• Enterprise workload events
• Cybersecurity events (unusual data activity, malicious file scans, curated snapshots)
• Ransomware recovery events
• Data access events
• Alert and notification events

Setup

This section includes instructions for collecting logs for the Sumo Logic Druva Platform Events webhook collection.

Source configuration

Follow the steps below to configure the Hosted Collector to receive Druva events.

1. In the Sumo Logic portal, create a new Hosted Collector or use an existing one.
2. Add an HTTP Logs and Metrics Source.
3. Configure Source Category in the HTTP Source, for example, webhook/druva.
4. Copy and save the endpoint URL of the source.

Vendor configuration

Configure the webhook integration in Druva to send events to the Sumo Logic HTTP source.

Follow the steps below to configure the Druva webhook.

1. Sign in to the Druva Console.
2. From the Global Navigation menu on the top left, select Integration Center.
3. On the Integration Center page, select Webhooks from the left panel.
4. Click Add New Webhook. The Add Webhook form appears.
5. Provide the following details:
   • Provider. Select Others.
   • Name. Enter a name for the webhook (for example, Sumo Logic).
   • Endpoint. Enter the Sumo Logic HTTP endpoint URL (source address) created above.
   • Authorization Type. Select API Key and enter a dummy value with more than 5 characters (for example, sumologic), as Sumo Logic does not require authentication on the HTTP source endpoint.
   • Events. Select the events that the platform should send to the webhook. Choose the event types you want to monitor, such as cybersecurity events, backup jobs, admin events, and alerts.
6. Click Test and Save to validate the connection and save your configuration.
7. Verify Druva events are getting ingested in Sumo Logic by executing the following query in Log Search:

_sourceCategory=Labs/Druva

For detailed webhook setup information, refer to the Druva Webhook documentation.

Installing the Druva - Platform Events app

To install the app, do the following:

note

Next-Gen App: To install or update the app, you must be an account administrator or a user with Manage Apps, Manage Monitors, Manage Fields, Manage Metric Rules, and Manage Collectors capabilities depending upon the different content types part of the app.

1. Select App Catalog.
2. In the 🔎 Search Apps field, run a search for your desired app, then select it.
3. Click Install App.
   note

   Sometimes this button says Add Integration.

4. Click Next in the Setup Data section.
5. In the Configure section of your respective app, complete the following fields.
   1. Field Name. If you already have collectors and sources set up, select the configured metadata field name (eg _sourcecategory) or specify other custom metadata (eg: _collector) along with its metadata Field Value.
6. Click Next. You will be redirected to the Preview & Done section.

Post-installation

Once your app is installed, it will appear in your Installed Apps folder, and dashboard panels will start to fill automatically.

Each panel slowly fills with data matching the time range query received since the panel was created. Results will not immediately be available but will be updated with full graphs and charts over time.

Viewing Druva - Platform Events dashboards

All dashboards have a set of filters that you can apply to the entire dashboard. Use these filters to drill down and examine the data to a granular level.

• You can change the time range for a dashboard or panel by selecting a predefined interval from a drop-down list, choosing a recently used time range, or specifying custom dates and times. Learn more.
• You can use template variables to drill down and examine the data on a granular level. For more information, see Filtering Dashboards with Template Variables.
• Most Next-Gen apps allow you to provide the scope at the installation time and are comprised of a key (_sourceCategory by default) and a default value for this key. Based on your input, the app dashboards will be parameterized with a dashboard variable, allowing you to change the dataset queried by all panels. This eliminates the need to create multiple copies of the same dashboard with different queries.
