Good morning,


I have merged the package definition for rsyslog-dtls which passed the
testbench last night finally:

https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog-pkg-rhel-centos/pull/150



Next time daily packages well be built, you should be able to install DTLS
input/output modules by installing the rsyslog-dtls package.



Best regards,

Andre Lorbach

Andre,



Thank you for doing this. I’ll keep an eye on the issue and once installed
will let you know how it goes.

Good morning,



To be honest, *imdtls* and *omdtls* are relatively new modules, and package
definitions for building a dedicated rsyslog-dtls package haven’t been
added yet.



That said, adding support for them should be straightforward on our
end—especially now that there seems to be interest in it. 😉



I’ve created an issue to track the addition of packaging support for these
modules here:

*https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog-pkg-rhel-centos/issues/149
<https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog-pkg-rhel-centos/issues/149>*



Once this is done, the daily RPM packages will start including these
modules automatically.



Best regards,

Andre Lorbach

Michael,



That’s a good question. I​ don’t know that DTLS is supported by AMA. I’ve
been focused on the sender (client) -> receiver traffic being sent across a
secure channel and wanted to install AMA such that it will listen on the
receiver and just forward to Azure.



We currently use this approach for unencrypted traffic.



In this case, a new syslog server has been stood up by the Security Team.
They want to configure ​Azure Monitor Agent on the syslog receiver to
listening and have the AMA forward that traffic to Azure. If AMA doesn’t
support the traffic not sure what will get sent across. They will be
handling the set up of any DCRs they require. I just wanted to get the data
over to them.



Jumping back to imdtls not being installed with the rpm, any idea why it
wasn’t installed? Or if there is another package I should have installed?



Thanks,



Shawn Singh

Hey,

I mean, check with the vendor if they'll support DTLS. If they do then it
shouldn't be an issue. As for imdtls missing, that I have no idea. Are you
using RHEL? It's possible RHEL (or derivatives) have not yet backported the
imdtls module from the public repos. Then again, I tried installing the
latest version directly from Adiscon's repo site and that didn't work
either.

@Andre: Do you know where Singh can find that imdtls module?

Yes sir, the application is very sensitive to any type of latency so when
they log, they fire and forget.

This UDP requirement is what made the DTLS option appealing.

Yes. However, most vendors with some limited exceptions (Cisco Meraki comes
to mind) generally support TCP. Is there a specific reason they want to use
UDP? It's a lossy protocol and won't support encryption over UDP for pretty
much any log source supported by MS Sentinel.

Small world! Thank you for the information.

Let me ask you this, the senders want to send over UDP, won’t imtcp/imptcp
require the traffic to be TCP?

Hey Shawn,

Right up my alley 😋. The vast majority of my servers are syslog collectors
for Microsoft Sentinel or their support servers.



The use case for dtls is limited generally to extreme throughput
environments (eg: over 100k EPS) where other "load balancers" are not
available (eg: Kafka, AMPQ, etc) but something like F5's LTM are and
K3605 (*myF5
<https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K3605>*) is available. As a general
piece of information, industry support for DTLS is nearly* non-existent.
That is the other reason that DTLS is so rare and niche to use. TLS
encrypted TCP generally has much broader vendor support with some
exceptions (Cisco Meraki comes to mind).



If you need to load both, I'd highly suggest using imtcp (dpt 6514) for
your encrypted logs and imptcp (dpt 514) for the unencrypted logs.

TLS-encrypted Config

----------------------------------------------
global(

DefaultNetstreamDriver="gtls"

DefaultNetstreamDriverCAFile="/etc/ssl/root_ca.pem"

DefaultNetstreamDriverCertFile="/etc/ssl/rsyslog.pem"

DefaultNetstreamDriverKeyFile="/etc/ssl/rsyslog.key"

)



# load TCP listener

module(

load="imtcp"

StreamDriver.Name="gtls"

StreamDriver.Mode="1"

StreamDriver.Authmode="anon"

)



# start up listener at port 6514

input(

type="imtcp"

port="6514"

)



Unencrypted Config

----------------------------------------------
[...]

module(load="imptcp")
input(type="imptcp" port="514")

[...]

Cheers,
Mike

Michael,



Thank you for your feedback.



The syslog server will be a centralized location where we’ll also have
Azure Monitoring Agent also getting the logs and forwarding to a
LogAnalytics workspace.

The senders are going to be sending their logs over UDP. Since they’re
using UDP, I think a quick google turned up this option as a means to make
the traffic more secure.



The syslog server will be owned by our Security Team. I’m just trying to
test this out for them and see how well it works

Hey,

The imdtls module is relatively new and far less tested than something like
imtcp for example. Why are you attempting to use the imdtls module? It's
use case is very niche, and I suspect there is probably a better solution
for you.

Cheers,
MR
