Note

  1. This data connector depends on a parser based on a Kusto Function to work as expected which is deployed as part of the solution. To view the function code in Log Analytics, open Log Analytics/Microsoft Sentinel Logs blade, click Functions and search for the alias CitrixADCEvent and load the function code or click here, this function maps Citrix ADC (former NetScaler) events to Advanced Security Information Model ASIM. The function usually takes 10-15 minutes to activate after solution installation/update.

Note

  1. This parser requires a watchlist named Sources_by_SourceType

i. If you don't have watchlist already created, please click here to create.

ii. Open watchlist Sources_by_SourceType and add entries for this data source.

iii. The SourceType value for CitrixADC is CitrixADC.

  1. Install and onboard the agent for Linux

Typically, you should install the agent on a different computer from the one on which the logs are generated.

Syslog logs are collected only from Linux agents.

  1. Configure the logs to be collected

Configure the facilities you want to collect and their severities.

  1. Under workspace advanced settings Configuration, select Data and then Syslog.

  2. Select Apply below configuration to my machines and select the facilities and severities.

  3. Click Save.

  4. Configure Citrix ADC to forward logs via Syslog

3.1 Navigate to Configuration tab > System > Auditing > Syslog > Servers tab

3.2 Specify Syslog action name.

3.3 Set IP address of remote Syslog server and port.

3.4 Set Transport type as TCP or UDP depending on your remote Syslog server configuration.

3.5 You can refer Citrix ADC (former NetScaler) documentation for more details.

  1. Check logs in Microsoft Sentinel

Open Log Analytics to check if the logs are received using the Syslog schema.

NOTE: It may take up to 15 minutes before new logs will appear in Syslog table.
