Collect One Identity Identity Manager logs

Supported in:

Google secops SIEM

This document explains how to ingest One Identity Identity Manager logs to Google Security Operations using Bindplane.

One Identity Identity Manager is an identity governance and administration (IGA) platform for managing user identities, access rights, and compliance across hybrid environments. It provides automated provisioning, access requests, attestation, and policy enforcement with a built-in Universal SIEM Forwarder for event export.

Before you begin

Make sure you have the following prerequisites:

A Google SecOps instance
Windows Server 2016 or later, or Linux host with systemd
Network connectivity between the Bindplane agent and the One Identity Identity Manager server
If running behind a proxy, ensure firewall ports are open per the Bindplane agent requirements
Privileged access to the One Identity Identity Manager administration console with administrator permissions
One Identity Identity Manager version 8.x or later with the Universal SIEM Forwarder module installed

Get Google SecOps ingestion authentication file

Sign in to the Google SecOps console.
Go to SIEM Settings > Collection Agents.
Download the Ingestion Authentication File. Save the file securely on the system where Bindplane will be installed.

Note: This JSON file contains credentials for authenticating the Bindplane agent to Google SecOps.

Get Google SecOps customer ID

Sign in to the Google SecOps console.
Go to SIEM Settings > Profile.
Copy and save the Customer ID from the Organization Details section.

Note: The customer ID is required for configuring the Bindplane agent exporter.

Install the Bindplane agent

Install the Bindplane agent on your Windows or Linux operating system according to the following instructions.

Windows installation

Open Command Prompt or PowerShell as an administrator.

Run the following command:

msiexec /i "https://github.com/observIQ/bindplane-agent/releases/latest/download/observiq-otel-collector.msi" /quiet

Wait for the installation to complete.
Verify the installation by running:
```
sc query observiq-otel-collector
```

The service should show as RUNNING.

Linux installation

Open a terminal with root or sudo privileges.

Run the following command:

sudo sh -c "$(curl -fsSlL https://github.com/observiq/bindplane-agent/releases/latest/download/install_unix.sh)" install_unix.sh

Wait for the installation to complete.

Verify the installation by running:

sudo systemctl status observiq-otel-collector

The service should show as active (running).

Additional installation resources

For additional installation options and troubleshooting, see Bindplane agent installation guide.

Configure the Bindplane agent to ingest syslog and send to Google SecOps

Locate the configuration file

Linux:

sudo systemctl status observiq-otel-collector

Windows:

notepad "C:\Program Files\observIQ OpenTelemetry Collector\config.yaml"

Edit the configuration file

Replace the entire contents of config.yaml with the following configuration:

receivers:
    tcplog:
        listen_address: "0.0.0.0:514"

exporters:
    chronicle/one_identity_idm:
        compression: gzip
        creds_file_path: '<CREDS_FILE_PATH>'
        customer_id: '<CUSTOMER_ID>'
        endpoint: <REGION_ENDPOINT>
        log_type: ONE_IDENTITY_IDENTITY_MANAGER
        raw_log_field: body
        ingestion_labels:
            env: production

service:
    pipelines:
        logs/one_identity_idm_to_chronicle:
            receivers:
                - tcplog
            exporters:
                - chronicle/one_identity_idm

Configuration parameters

Replace the following placeholders:

Receiver configuration:
- tcplog: Receives syslog over TCP. The Universal SIEM Forwarder supports TCP for reliable delivery.
- 0.0.0.0:514: Listens on all interfaces on port 514. Change the port if needed (for example, 1514 for non-root Linux).
Exporter configuration:
- <CREDS_FILE_PATH>: Full path to ingestion authentication file:
  - Linux: /etc/bindplane-agent/ingestion-auth.json
  - Windows: C:\Program Files\observIQ OpenTelemetry Collector\ingestion-auth.json
- <CUSTOMER_ID>: Customer ID from the Get Google SecOps customer ID step.
- <REGION_ENDPOINT>: Regional endpoint URL:
  - US: malachiteingestion-pa.googleapis.com
  - Europe: europe-malachiteingestion-pa.googleapis.com
  - Asia: asia-southeast1-malachiteingestion-pa.googleapis.com
  - See Regional Endpoints for complete list.

Save the configuration file

After editing, save the file:
- Linux: Press Ctrl+O, then Enter, then Ctrl+X
- Windows: Click File > Save

Restart the Bindplane agent to apply the changes

To restart the Bindplane agent in Linux:

Run the following command:

sudo systemctl restart observiq-otel-collector

Verify the service is running:

sudo systemctl status observiq-otel-collector

Check logs for errors:

sudo journalctl -u observiq-otel-collector -f

To restart the Bindplane agent in Windows:

Choose one of the following options:
- Command Prompt or PowerShell as administrator:
```
net stop observiq-otel-collector && net start observiq-otel-collector
```
- Services console:
  1. Press Win+R, type services.msc, and press Enter.
  2. Locate observIQ OpenTelemetry Collector.
  3. Right-click and select Restart.
Verify the service is running:
```
sc query observiq-otel-collector
```

Check logs for errors:

type "C:\Program Files\observIQ OpenTelemetry Collector\log\collector.log"

Configure One Identity Identity Manager syslog forwarding

One Identity Identity Manager includes a Universal SIEM Forwarder that exports audit and identity lifecycle events via syslog in JSON, CEF, or JSON-CIM formats.

Sign in to the One Identity Manager Administration Console (Manager or Designer tool).
Navigate to Base Data > General > Configuration Parameters.
Locate the QER\Person\Siem configuration section.
Enable the Universal SIEM Forwarder by setting the Enabled parameter to True.
Configure the syslog destination:
- SyslogHost: Enter the IP address of the Bindplane agent host (for example, 192.168.1.100).
- SyslogPort: Enter 514 (must match the Bindplane agent receiver port).
- SyslogProtocol: Select TCP.
- SyslogFormat: Select JSON (recommended for maximum parsing fidelity).
Configure the event types to forward:
- PersonEvents: Set to True to forward identity lifecycle events (create, modify, delete).
- EntitlementEvents: Set to True to forward access assignment and removal events.
- PolicyEvents: Set to True to forward policy violation and attestation events.
- SystemEvents: Set to True to forward provisioning and synchronization events.
Click Save to save the configuration.
Restart the One Identity Manager Service for changes to take effect.
Verify that logs are being sent by checking the Bindplane agent logs.

Note: For detailed configuration of the Universal SIEM Forwarder, see the One Identity Identity Manager Administration Guide for your version.
