Barracuda integration

This integration is for Barracuda device's logs. It includes the following datasets for receiving logs over syslog or read from a file:

• waf dataset: supports Barracuda Web Application Firewall logs.

Use the Barracuda WAF data stream to ingest log data. Then visualize that data in Kibana, create alerts to notify you if something goes wrong, and reference data_stream.dataset:barracuda.waf when troubleshooting an issue.

The Technical preview spamfirewall data stream has been deprecated and removed, as of v1.0 of this integration. As we work on a replacement for the Spam Firewall integration, you can continue to use the Spam Firewall filebeat module.

Barracuda Web Application Firewall protects applications, APIs, and mobile app backends against a variety of attacks including the OWASP Top 10, zero-day threats, data leakage, and application-layer denial of service (DoS) attacks. By combining signature-based policies and positive security with robust anomaly-detection capabilities, Barracuda Web Application Firewall can defeat today’s most sophisticated attacks targeting your web applications.

This integration is built and tested against the Barracuda Web Application Firewall version 12.1. Earlier versions may work, but have not been tested.

You need Elasticsearch for storing and searching your data and Kibana for visualizing and managing it. You can use our hosted Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud, which is recommended, or self-manage the Elastic Stack on your own hardware.

For step-by-step instructions on how to set up an integration, check the Getting started guide.

The barracuda.waf dataset provides events from the configured syslog server. All Barracuda WAF syslog specific fields are available in the barracuda.waf field group.
