Vendor installation instructions

Note

This data connector depends on PostgreSQL parser based on a Kusto Function to work as expected. This parser is installed along with solution installation.

  1. Install and onboard the agent for Linux or Windows

Install the agent on the Tomcat Server where the logs are generated.

Logs from PostgreSQL Server deployed on Linux or Windows servers are collected by Linux or Windows agents.

  1. Configure PostgreSQL to write logs to files

  2. Edit postgresql.conf file to write logs to files:

log_destination = 'stderr'

logging_collector = on

Set the following parameters: log_directory and log_filename. Refer to the PostgreSQL documentation for more details

  1. Configure the logs to be collected

Configure the custom log directory to be collected

  1. Select the link above to open your workspace advanced settings
  2. From the left pane, select Settings, select Custom Logs and click +Add custom log
  3. Click Browse to upload a sample of a PostgreSQL log file. Then, click Next >
  4. Select Timestamp as the record delimiter and click Next >
  5. Select Windows or Linux and enter the path to PostgreSQL logs based on your configuration(e.g. for some Linux distros the default path is /var/log/postgresql/)
  6. After entering the path, click the '+' symbol to apply, then click Next >
  7. Add PostgreSQL as the custom log Name (the '_CL' suffix will be added automatically) and click Done.

Validate connectivity

It may take upwards of 20 minutes until your logs start to appear in Microsoft Sentinel.
