DbProtect Audit & Threat Management is a part of the DbProtect platform, offering comprehensive database security through discovery, vulnerability scanning, real-time audit, and threat management solutions.
This document outlines the process for integrating DbProtect Audit & Threat Management with ArcSight using syslog messages. To set up this integration, you will need to configure a list of destinations for syslog alerts in the ArcSight Console. Enter the address of the ArcSight Syslog Connector and its port number (usually 514), then click "Add" to proceed.
After deploying your policy, DbProtect Audit & Threat Management will display alerts in real-time within the ArcSight Console. The document also includes a screen shot from the ArcSight Console showing these alerts. It mentions that users can customize events using filters in DbProtect Audit & Threat Management for more specific monitoring.
Additionally, information about how vendor-specific event definitions are sent to the ArcSight SmartConnector and mapped to ArcSight data fields is provided, along with a table listing the mappings from ArcSight data fields to supported vendor-specific event definitions used by DbProtect Audit & Threat Management.
The provided information outlines the use of a map file in an ArcSight SmartConnector configuration for enriching event data with database and sensor details. This map file helps to add static information such as IP addresses or hostnames of both the target database and the device (sensor) to each event, based on the name of the database instance. The enriched fields include Device Custom String 2 (cs2), which is mapped to Destination Host Name (dhost), and Database Instance, which is mapped to Device Host Name (dvchost). These mappings are configured in a CSV format that allows for structured data storage, with each record on a separate line and fields separated by commas.
The text provided discusses the CSV (Comma-Separated Values) format used for mapping data in DbProtect Audit & Threat Management from ArcSight SmartConnector to a specific database instance and sensor device. Here's a summary of the key points:
1. **File Format**: The map file uses a CSV structure with each line containing three fields separated by commas. This format is common for exchanging tabular data between different applications.
2. **Fields Description**:
**event.deviceCustomString2**: This field acts as a lookup key and represents the user-defined database instance alias configured within the DbProtect Console. It is referred to as the "database instance" in the ArcSight Console when an event occurs.
**set.event.destinationHostName**: This field describes the IP Address or hostname of the database instance defined in the first field, and it will be displayed in the ArcSight Console for any associated events.
**set.event.deviceHostName**: This field indicates the IP Address or hostname of the DbProtect Audit & Threat Management Sensor monitoring the database instance, also to be displayed in the ArcSight Console when an event occurs.
3. **Example File Content**: The example provided includes a header line followed by three records each containing data for a different database:
Header Line: `event.deviceCustomString2,set.event.destinationHostName,set.event.deviceHostName`
Records:
```
oracle_sunny9,192.168.1.106,sensorDev101.nyc.acme.com
SQL2K5_PHILLIPNI,192.168.1.108,sensorDev101.nyc.acme.com
db_example_3,172.28.2.16,prd12bos.acme.com
```
The file can contain more or fewer lines depending on the number of monitored databases. For instance, if there are 10 databases being monitored, the map file would consist of 11 lines (including the header).
4. **Location and Usage**: An example map file is provided in the `Samples\CEF` directory within the installed DbProtect Console. The filename should be specified as `.csv`.
This format allows for a clear organization of data related to database instances and sensors, making it easier to manage and interpret the information needed for monitoring and reporting through the ArcSight SmartConnector integration with DbProtect Audit & Threat Management.

SELECT 'event.deviceCustomString2' AS cs2, 'set.event.destinationHostName' AS dhost, 'set.event.deviceHostName' AS dvchost
UNION
SELECT sa.alias, REPLACE(saa.hostname, '127.0.0.1', ss.hostname), ss.hostname AS 'dvchost'
FROM AppDetective..sensor_app_aliases saa INNER JOIN AppDetective..sensor_apps sa ON saa.app_inst_id = sa.app_inst_id
INNER JOIN AppDetective..sensors ss ON sa.sensor_id = ss.sensor_id
```
3. **Create the map file** in Comma Separated Values (CSV) format using the extracted information.
4. Place the created map file, named `ar_sample.csv`, in the specified directory of the ArcSight SmartConnector: `\AppSecInc\Resources\Samples\CEF`.
This process involves setting up database monitoring and extracting specific data for mapping purposes before formatting it into a CSV file that can be used by the ArcSight SmartConnector.
To summarize the provided text, it outlines a process for saving and updating map files used in an ArcSight SmartConnector configuration. Here's a breakdown of the steps:
1. **Saving Results as CSV File**: The results from a query can be saved directly to a CSV file format by right-clicking on the result set, which brings up a dialog box asking where to save the file named "ar.csv". This file should be saved in the specific directory of the ArcSight SmartConnector installation path: `\current\user\agent\acp\categorizer\current\asi\a`.
2. **Placing the Map File**: The map file needs to be copied and placed in the specified directory mentioned above. If the directory does not exist, it should be created. Once added to this location, configuration is complete.
3. **Updating the Map File**: Updates are necessary when a new database target is configured or if there are modifications to the IP Address/hostname of existing monitored entities (like sensors). The map file can be manually updated or recreated following previous steps, and it should replace the old one at: `\current\user\agent\acp\categorizer\current\asi\a`.
4. **Map File Contents**: As an appendix, the text provides a sample of what information might be contained in the map file for database categories and their associated events, showing IDs, names, and risk levels for specific audit events from DB2 databases.
