Collect Oracle NetSuite logs

Supported in:

This document explains how to ingest Oracle NetSuite logs to Google Security Operations using Google Cloud Storage V2.

Oracle NetSuite is a cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform that provides comprehensive business management capabilities including financial management, CRM, ecommerce, and inventory management. NetSuite generates audit logs for user logins, system changes, and API activity that can be queried through the SuiteQL REST API and ingested into Google SecOps for security monitoring and compliance.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

  • A Google SecOps instance
  • A GCP project with Cloud Storage, Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, and Cloud Scheduler APIs enabled
  • Permissions to create and manage GCS buckets
  • Permissions to manage IAM policies on GCS buckets
  • Permissions to create Cloud Run services, Pub/Sub topics, and Cloud Scheduler jobs
  • Administrator access to your Oracle NetSuite account
  • REST Web Services and OAuth 2.0 features enabled in your NetSuite account
  • Your NetSuite account ID (found at Setup > Company > Company Information)

Enable required NetSuite features

  1. Sign in to your NetSuite account as an Administrator.
  2. Go to Setup > Company > Enable Features.
  3. Click the SuiteCloud subtab.
  4. In the SuiteTalk (Web Services) section, select the REST Web Services box.
  5. In the Manage Authentication section, select the OAuth 2.0 box.
  6. Click Save.

Configure Oracle NetSuite OAuth 2.0 credentials

To enable the Cloud Run function to retrieve audit logs from NetSuite, you need to create an integration record with OAuth 2.0 client credentials authentication.

Create integration record

  1. Sign in to your NetSuite account as an Administrator.
  2. Go to Setup > Integration > Manage Integrations > New.
  3. In the Name field, enter Google SecOps Integration.
  4. In the Description field, enter Integration with Google SecOps for audit log ingestion.
  5. In the State field, select Enabled.
  6. Click the Authentication subtab.
  7. In the OAuth 2.0 section, configure the following:
    • Select Client Credentials (Machine to Machine) Grant.
    • Select REST Web Services.
  8. Clear all boxes in the Token-based Authentication section.
  9. Click Save.

Record OAuth 2.0 credentials

After saving the integration record, NetSuite displays your OAuth 2.0 credentials:

  • Client ID: your unique client identifier

  • Client Secret: your API secret key

Generate certificate for OAuth 2.0 client credentials

The OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow requires a certificate for JWT signing. Generate an ECDSA certificate using OpenSSL:

  1. On a machine with OpenSSL installed, run the following command to generate a private key and certificate:

    openssl req -new -x509 -newkey ec \
    -pkeyopt ec_paramgen_curve:prime256v1 \
    -pkeyopt ec_param_enc:named_curve \
    -nodes -days 730 \
    -out public.pem -keyout private.pem

  2. When prompted, enter the certificate subject fields (Country, State, Organization, and so on). For Common Name, enter Google SecOps Integration.

  3. The command generates two files:

    • private.pem: private key (keep this secure; used for JWT signing in the Cloud Run function)
    • public.pem: public certificate (upload to NetSuite)

Create OAuth 2.0 client credentials mapping

  1. In NetSuite, go to Setup > Integration > Manage Authentication > OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials (M2M) Setup.
  2. Click Create New.
  3. In the dialog, configure the following:
    • Entity: select the employee or user that will be associated with API requests.
    • Role: select a role that has the Log in using OAuth 2.0 Access Tokens permission (see Required permissions). Without this permission, the role does not appear in this list.
    • Application: select Google SecOps Integration.
  4. Click Choose File and upload the public.pem certificate file.
  5. Click Save.
  6. After saving, note the Certificate ID value displayed in the mapping list. This value is used as the kid (Key ID) in the JWT header.

Required permissions

The role assigned to the OAuth 2.0 mapping must have the following permissions:

Permission Access level Purpose
Log in using OAuth 2.0 Access Tokens Full Allow the role to use OAuth 2.0 token login
REST Web Services Full Execute REST API requests
Login Audit Trail Full Access login audit trail data
SuiteAnalytics Workbook View Access analytics data using SuiteQL

Create a custom role for the integration

  1. Go to Setup > Users/Roles > Manage Roles > New.
  2. In the Name field, enter Google SecOps Integration Role.
  3. Click the Permissions subtab.
  4. Click the Setup sub-subtab.
  5. Add the following permissions:
    • Log in using OAuth 2.0 Access Tokens: set to Full.
    • REST Web Services: set to Full.
    • Login Audit Trail: set to Full.
  6. Click the Reports sub-subtab.
  7. Add the following permission:
    • SuiteAnalytics Workbook: set to View.
  8. Click Save.

Verify permissions

To verify that the role has the required permissions, do the following:

  1. Sign in to NetSuite.
  2. Go to Setup > Users/Roles > Manage Roles.
  3. Find the Google SecOps Integration Role and click Edit.
  4. Verify that the permissions listed in Required permissions are present on the Permissions subtab.

Test API access

  • Test your credentials before proceeding with the integration:

    # Replace with your actual values
ACCOUNT_ID="your-account-id"
CLIENT_ID="your-client-id"
CERTIFICATE_ID="your-certificate-id"
PRIVATE_KEY_FILE="private.pem"

# Generate JWT (requires Python 3 with PyJWT and cryptography)
pip install PyJWT cryptography

TOKEN=$(python3 -c "
import jwt, time, json
with open('${PRIVATE_KEY_FILE}', 'r') as f:
    key = f.read()
now = int(time.time())
payload = {
    'iss': '${CLIENT_ID}',
    'scope': ['restlets', 'rest_webservices'],
    'aud': 'https://${ACCOUNT_ID}.suitetalk.api.netsuite.com/services/rest/auth/oauth2/v1/token',
    'iat': now,
    'exp': now + 3600
}
print(jwt.encode(payload, key, algorithm='ES256', headers={'kid': '${CERTIFICATE_ID}', 'typ': 'JWT'}))
")

# Obtain access token
ACCESS_TOKEN=$(curl -s -X POST \
    "https://${ACCOUNT_ID}.suitetalk.api.netsuite.com/services/rest/auth/oauth2/v1/token" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
    -d "grant_type=client_credentials&client_assertion_type=urn%3Aietf%3Aparams%3Aoauth%3Aclient-assertion-type%3Ajwt-bearer&client_assertion=${TOKEN}" \
    | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['access_token'])")

# Test SuiteQL query
curl -s -X POST \
    "https://${ACCOUNT_ID}.suitetalk.api.netsuite.com/services/rest/query/v1/suiteql?limit=5" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ${ACCESS_TOKEN}" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "Prefer: transient" \
    -d '{"q": "SELECT Date, Status, User, IPAddress FROM LoginAudit ORDER BY Date DESC"}' \
    | python3 -m json.tool

A successful response returns a JSON object with an items array containing login audit records.

  3. Click Deploy to save and deploy the function.

  4. Wait for deployment to complete (2-3 minutes).

Create Cloud Scheduler job

Cloud Scheduler will publish messages to the Pub/Sub topic at regular intervals, triggering the Cloud Run function.

  1. In the GCP Console, go to Cloud Scheduler.
  2. Click Create Job.

  3. Provide the following configuration details:

    Setting Value
    Name netsuite-audit-collector-hourly
    Region Select same region as Cloud Run function
    Frequency 0 * * * * (every hour, on the hour)
    Timezone Select timezone (UTC recommended)
    Target type Pub/Sub
    Topic Select netsuite-audit-trigger
    Message body {} (empty JSON object)

  4. Click Create.

Schedule frequency options

Choose the frequency based on log volume and latency requirements:

Frequency Cron expression Use case
Every 15 minutes */15 * * * * High-volume, low-latency
Every hour 0 * * * * Standard (recommended)
Every 6 hours 0 */6 * * * Low volume, batch processing
Daily 0 0 * * * Historical data collection

Test the integration

  1. In the Cloud Scheduler console, find your job (netsuite-audit-collector-hourly).
  2. Click Force run to trigger the job manually.
  3. Wait a few seconds.
  4. Go to Cloud Run > Services.
  5. Click netsuite-audit-collector.
  6. Click the Logs tab.

  7. Verify that the function executed successfully. Look for:

    Fetching logs from YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS+00:00 to YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS+00:00
Successfully obtained NetSuite OAuth 2.0 access token
Fetching LoginAudit records...
Page 1: Retrieved X records (total: X)
Fetching SystemNote records...
Page 1: Retrieved X records (total: X)
Wrote X records to gs://netsuite-audit-logs/netsuite-audit/netsuite_audit_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.ndjson
Successfully processed X records (login_audit: X, system_note: X)

  8. Go to Cloud Storage > Buckets.

  9. Click netsuite-audit-logs.

  10. Navigate to the netsuite-audit/ folder.

  11. Verify that a new .ndjson file was created with the current timestamp.

If you see errors in the logs:

  • HTTP 401: verify that the NS_CLIENT_ID, NS_CERTIFICATE_ID, and NS_PRIVATE_KEY environment variables are correct.
  • HTTP 403: verify that the NetSuite role has Log in using OAuth 2.0 Access Tokens (Full), REST Web Services (Full), and Login Audit Trail (Full) permissions.
  • HTTP 429: rate limiting — the function will automatically retry with exponential backoff.
  • Missing environment variables: verify all required variables are set in the Cloud Run function configuration.

Retrieve the Google SecOps service account

  1. Go to SIEM Settings > Feeds.
  2. Click Add New Feed.
  3. Click Configure a single feed.
  4. In the Feed name field, enter a name for the feed (for example, NetSuite Audit Logs).
  5. Select Google Cloud Storage V2 as the Source type.
  6. Select Oracle NetSuite as the Log type.

  7. Click Get Service Account. A unique service account email will be displayed, for example:

    chronicle-12345678@chronicle-gcp-prod.iam.gserviceaccount.com

  8. Copy this email address for use in the next step.

  9. Click Next.

  10. Specify values for the following input parameters:

    • Storage bucket URL: enter the GCS bucket URI with the prefix path:

      gs://netsuite-audit-logs/netsuite-audit/

    • Source deletion option: select the deletion option according to your preference:

      • Never: never deletes any files after transfers (recommended for testing).
      • Delete transferred files: deletes files after successful transfer.

      • Delete transferred files and empty directories: deletes files and empty directories after successful transfer.

    • Maximum File Age: include files modified in the last number of days (default is 180 days).

    • Asset namespace: the asset namespace.

    • Ingestion labels: the label to be applied to the events from this feed.

  11. Click Next.

  12. Review your new feed configuration in the Finalize screen, and then click Submit.

Grant IAM permissions to the Google SecOps service account

The Google SecOps service account needs the Storage Object Viewer role on your GCS bucket.

  1. Go to Cloud Storage > Buckets.
  2. Click netsuite-audit-logs.
  3. Go to the Permissions tab.
  4. Click Grant access.
  5. Provide the following configuration details:
    • Add principals: paste the Google SecOps service account email.
    • Assign roles: select Storage Object Viewer.

  6. Click Save.

NetSuite API rate limits

NetSuite REST API has the following governance limits:

Limit type Value
Concurrency limit 10 concurrent requests per integration
SuiteQL query results per page 1,000 rows maximum
SuiteQL total results 100,000 rows per query

The Cloud Run function automatically handles rate limiting with exponential backoff.
