Key Takeaways

© 2019 SPLUNK INC.

Stackdriver logging and VPC Flow logsWhat, why, and how.

© 2019 SPLUNK INC.

▶ GCP service logs (audit, etc.) end up in Stackdriver Logs• Also referred to as GCP Logging

▶ Stackdriver logs can be configured to have a Pub/Sub topic as a sink destination

▶ Select which logs are routed to sink destinations using export query filters

Stackdriver logs – WhatWhat is Stackdriver logging

GCP Pub/Sub – WhatWhat is this Pub/Sub thing?

▶ Cloud Pub/Sub is a fully-managed real-time messaging service that allows you to send and receive messages between independent applications

© 2019 SPLUNK INC.

Collect Google Cloud Platform events, logs, performance metrics

and billing data

VPC Flow logs – What What are VPC flow logs?

Think of VPC Flow Logs like NetFlow, but with additional features.

• VPC Flow Logs provide responsive flow-level network telemetry for GCP environments

© 2019 SPLUNK INC.

▶ Network monitoring:• Monitor the VPC network and perform network diagnosis

• Understand traffic growth for capacity forecasting

▶ Understanding network usage and optimizing network traffic expenses:• Traffic between regions and zones and to specific countries

• Top talkers

▶ Network forensics:• Which IPs talked with whom and when

• Any compromised IPs by analyzing all the incoming and outgoing network flows

VPC Flow logs use cases – WhySecurity, monitoring, forecasting, and more…

© 2019 SPLUNK INC.

▶ VPC Flow logs (once turned on) are delivered to Stackdriver• Start by exporting to Pub/Sub

• Pull: Splunk Add-on for Google Cloud Platform Pub/Sub input− OR

• Push: GCP Pub/Sub to Splunk Dataflow template

▶ Log export filter? Let’s take a look at the cheat sheet. Copy pasta anyone?

1. Standard Push or Pull processes for getting data from Pub/Sub to Splunk

2. Stackdriver to Pub/Sub is a common pattern and can be used to send all sorts of GCP data to Splunk

3. VPC flow logs can be a valuable data source for a variety of use cases

Cloud Security Command Center and Cloud Asset InventoryWhat, why, and how.

© 2019 SPLUNK INC.

GCP Cloud Security Command Center Security and datarisk database

Cloud SCC enables you to understand your security and data attack surface by providing asset inventory, discovery, search, and management.

© 2019 SPLUNK INC.

© 2019 SPLUNK INC.

▶ The Splunk Connector app uses the Cloud SCC API to export an organization's assets and findings to Cloud Pub/Sub• Remember this?

• It’s a cool story, let me tell it again.

• Pull: Splunk Add-on for Google Cloud Platform Pub/Sub input

• OR

• Push: GCP Pub/Sub to Splunk Dataflow template

Bring it inConsistency

GCP Asset Inventory API GCP resourcesinventory service

Asset Inventory is a GCP API that can generate snapshots of assets in a GCP project/organization

• Snapshots are written to a GCS bucket

© 2019 SPLUNK INC.

▶ Entire Asset Inventory Snapshot? (Do this once a day/week/etc.)• Use the API to write the snapshot to GCS

• GCS -> Pub/Sub -> Splunk (Using the Splunk GCP Add-on or a Dataflow job)− OR

• GCS -> Dataflow -> Splunk

▶ Real time changes?• The Asset Inventory API has a feature that writes inventory changes directly to Pub/Sub

Bring it inTwo types, many approaches

© 2019 SPLUNK INC.

1. Leverage Google Cloud SCC for simplified GCP security monitoring

2. Asset Inventory is a powerful complement to audit logs

3. Getting data from the services into Splunk reuses all the same concepts you are now familiar with

Google Cloud Security Command Center and

the Asset Inventory API
