SIEM Integration ​

What Is SIEM Integration? ​

SIEM Integration adds the decision that Bot/DDoS protection makes for a request to the HTTP access log as a single JSON object and carries this log to the SIEM system over syslog. The object is added to the log profile with the %THREAT_INFO variable (named Bot/DDoS Protection Detail in the interface) and is produced in the same shape for every request: which protection made the decision, the applied action, the bot score and class, the triggered L7 DDoS rule and the measured value, the IP reputation category, the TLS and User-Agent identity of the client, exemptions and quarantine information are all in the same object.

As a result, Bot/DDoS events are read on the SIEM side on the same line as the rest of the access log (time, client address, request, response code); there is no need to define a separate event source or to export the Event Logs screen in the TR7 interface.

Produced on every request

The object is produced for every request on vServices whose log profile uses %THREAT_INFO; it is written not only for blocked requests but also for passed, monitored and exempted requests. If the vService has no Bot/DDoS protection, or the request is dropped by a rule outside Bot/DDoS, the variable is not produced. The repetition limiting (thinning of the same event) on the Event Logs screen is not applied to this variable.

How to Set It Up? ​

1
Step 1 Create the log profile

Load Balancer → Profiles → Logs: on this screen a new log profile is added or an existing profile is edited. In the Line Format field, one of the three Manual formats is selected: Manual JSON Format, Manual CEF Format or Manual Log Line Format. Manual JSON Format is recommended so that the fields can be parsed directly in the SIEM; in the other two formats the object is written as text (see Output by Log Format). For the general fields of the profile, see the Logs page.

2
Step 2 Add the %THREAT_INFO variable

In the Manual JSON Format and Manual CEF Format formats, a row is added to the Manual Log Entries table and the key name to be used on the SIEM side (e.g. Bot-DDOS) is written in the Key field. The Value cell of the new row comes filled with the first variable not yet used in the list. Clicking the variable label in the cell opens the Edit Variable window; the Variable Name list is filtered by typing Bot/DDoS and the Client Info - Bot/DDoS Protection Detail option is selected.

In the Manual Log Line Format format, the variable is added at the desired place in the line template: the fx button to the right of the template field opens the Add Variable window and the variable is selected from the same list. %THREAT_INFO text typed manually into the template also turns into a variable label shortly after typing ends. For details, see the Smart Variables page.

The other fields of the access log (time, client address, host, request, response code, User-Agent header) are added with separate variables; %THREAT_INFO does not carry this information.

3
Step 3 Define the log server

The address and port (IP:Port) of the SIEM's syslog receiver is entered in the log address field of the profile; the transport protocol (UDP or TCP) and the log standard are selected. If every record is required to reach the SIEM, Sampling is left disabled; when enabled, only part of the records is sent.

4
Step 4 Assign the profile to the vService

The profile is selected as the log profile in the edit form of the HTTP vService. The steps are described in the How to Add to a vService? section of the Logs page.

5
Step 5 Parse on the SIEM side

With Manual JSON Format, the log line is parsed as JSON in the SIEM; the Bot/DDoS information is read as a nested object under the key given in the second step (e.g. Bot-DDOS). If a log standard that adds a syslog header is selected, the SIEM must strip this header before the JSON.

The outer key name belongs to the user

The key under which the object is placed is set in the Key field. The examples on this page use Bot-DDOS; any name that fits the field naming convention in the SIEM is given.

The Value field must contain only %THREAT_INFO

For the value to be written as a JSON object, the Value cell must contain nothing other than %THREAT_INFO. If text or a converter is added to the variable, the output is written as a text containing escaped JSON instead of a nested object, and a second parsing is needed in the SIEM.

Output by Log Format ​

%THREAT_INFO is used only on HTTP vServices and in all three of the Manual formats; the formats differ only in the shape of the output. Fixed log formats do not carry this variable.

Line Format%THREAT_INFO output
Manual JSON FormatNested JSON object. If the variable is not produced at all (e.g. the vService has no Bot/DDoS protection), the value of the key is null. This is the recommended format.
Manual CEF FormatEscaped JSON text; per the CEF rule, = characters are written as \=. On HTTP vServices the field is always written; on L7 TCP vServices, where the variable cannot be used, the field is not added to the line at all.
Manual Log Line FormatThe JSON text is written into the line as is.
Standard Log Format, Apache Combined, Apache VHost, CEF Format, TR7 JSON Format, TR7 WAF LogThe variable cannot be used.

Exception to the "all values are text" rule in Manual JSON

In the Manual JSON Format output, values are normally printed as text in double quotes. Only a row containing %THREAT_INFO is outside this rule: the value is written as an object, and the numbers inside the object come as JSON numbers and the flags as true/false.

Sample Record ​

The record below is taken from a Manual JSON profile whose Key field is Bot-DDOS. While the Source IP Request Protection rule of L7 DDoS protection was running in Monitor mode, a source exceeded the request rate limit; had the protection been in Enforce mode, it would have shown a CAPTCHA.

The record that reaches the SIEM is a single line:

json
{"Bot-DDOS":{"action":"monitored","module":"","summary":"monitored: ddos would apply captcha","monitor":{"module":"ddos","action":"captcha"},"bot":{"score":23,"class":"clean","threshold":null,"factors":"secFetchAbsent;pathHammering;clientHintMismatch;"},"ddos":{"rule":"sR","observed":80,"limit":3},"ipReputation":{"category":""},"client":{"ja4":"","ja4Family":"","ja4Match":"","uaFamily":"chromium","networkType":""},"exempt":{"ddos":false,"bot":false,"ipReputation":false},"captchaFails":"","quarantinedBy":"","ceilingDrop":false}}

The same record, indented for readability:

json
{
  "Bot-DDOS": {
    "action": "monitored",
    "module": "",
    "summary": "monitored: ddos would apply captcha",
    "monitor": {
      "module": "ddos",
      "action": "captcha"
    },
    "bot": {
      "score": 23,
      "class": "clean",
      "threshold": null,
      "factors": "secFetchAbsent;pathHammering;clientHintMismatch;"
    },
    "ddos": {
      "rule": "sR",
      "observed": 80,
      "limit": 3
    },
    "ipReputation": {
      "category": ""
    },
    "client": {
      "ja4": "",
      "ja4Family": "",
      "ja4Match": "",
      "uaFamily": "chromium",
      "networkType": ""
    },
    "exempt": {
      "ddos": false,
      "bot": false,
      "ipReputation": false
    },
    "captchaFails": "",
    "quarantinedBy": "",
    "ceilingDrop": false
  }
}

The record is read as follows:

  • action monitored: the request was passed, but a protection in monitor mode would have applied an action. Since no action was applied, module is empty.
  • monitor states which protection would have done what: the captcha action of the ddos protection.
  • ddos gives the triggering rule and the values: sR (Source IP Request Protection), measured 80, limit 3.
  • bot carries the bot score for the same request: 23, class clean. Three factors were triggered; since no bot rule matched, threshold is null.
  • client.uaFamily chromium: the User-Agent header indicates a Chromium browser. The JA4 fields are empty: the connection is not TLS, or there is no setting on this vService that requires JA4 calculation.
  • All exempt flags are false: the client is not on the whitelist of any protection.

Field Descriptions ​

All keys of the object are present in every record. Text fields with no value are written as empty text (""), number fields as null, flags as false. Text values are the engine's own codes, not the labels in the interface; the tables below give the interface equivalents of the codes.

Decision Fields ​

FieldTypeDescription

moduletextThe protection that made the decision: ddos, ipRep, bot or quarantine (if the client is in the quarantine box). Empty when no action was applied (monitored, whitelisted, trustedBot, passed) and on a hard ceiling drop (ceilingDrop true). Its interface equivalent is Handled By.
summarytextA one-sentence English summary of the decision. Its templates are in the table below.

action Values ​

ValueMeaningAction cell in Event Logs

summary Templates ​

The summary is produced with one of the templates below according to the action value and the protection that made the decision; for applied actions the order by protection is bot, L7 DDoS, IP reputation, quarantine. <action> is replaced with the value of the action field, and the other expressions in angle brackets with the values of the related fields.

CaseTemplateExample

Passed, no bot scorepassed

monitor (Monitor Mode) ​

FieldTypeDescription
monitor.moduletextThe protection that would apply an action in monitor mode: ddos, ipRep or bot.
monitor.actiontextThe action that would be applied; its values are the same as the applied actions in the action table (block, captcha, tarpit, redirect, showContent, silentDrop, quarantine).

This object is filled when a protection running in Monitor mode has a matching rule; if more than one protection matches in monitor mode, the first protection in priority order (ddos, ipRep, bot) is written. If there is no match in monitor mode, both fields are empty. Its interface equivalent is Monitor Mode.

bot (Bot Protection) ​

FieldTypeDescription
bot.scorenumber | nullThe bot score of the request between 0 and 100. null if Bot Protection is not enabled.
bot.classtextThe class the score falls into (table below). Empty if there is no score.
bot.thresholdnumber | nullThe score threshold of the matched bot action rule. Written even if the rule matched in monitor mode; null if no bot rule matched or another protection made the decision (or the monitor record).
bot.factorstextThe codes of the factors contributing to the score, as a list separated by ; and ending with ;. Empty if no factor was triggered.
bot.classScore rangeClass in the interface
clean0–39Clean
suspicious40–59Suspicious
likely_bot60–84Bot
bot85–100Bad Bot

The bot code is the "Bad Bot" class

The codes and the class names in the interface do not match one to one: the bot code is displayed as Bad Bot in the interface, and the likely_bot code as Bot. This difference must be taken into account when writing alarm rules in the SIEM.

The codes in the bot.factors list are the sub-items of the factors on the Factors page. The codes by factor group are as follows:

Factor groupCodes
Infrastructure & IP ReputationdatacenterIp, torExit, openProxy, badBot, attack, recon, spam, vpnIp, botnetHost, fraud, dnsAbuse, operatorBlacklist
Identity Spoofing DetectionbotUa, notBrowser, headlessBrowser, crawlerImpersonation
Network FingerprintingdeprecatedVersion, noAlpn, weakCipher, malwareJa3, botJa4, ja4ToolImpersonation
Protocol HygieneemptyHost, missingHeaders, secFetchAbsent, weirdAcceptHeader, httpVersion, protocolMismatch
Cross-Signal ConsistencytlsUaMismatch, httpCookieMismatch, clientHintMismatch
Behavioral AnalysispathHammering, rapidRequests, highNotFoundRate, noRefererOnMutation, scannerMethod, suspiciousPath
Client EvidenceceAutomationDeclared, ceAutomationInferred, ceEngineMismatch, ceFormTiming, ceBehavioral, ceTrapSprung
Human VerificationagsLoggedIn, captchaTicket, ceHumanInteraction

The codes in the Human Verification group do not change the bot.score value; they indicate the reduction applied to the score used in the action decision for a client verified as human. The list contains the factors selected in the Bot Protection settings that fit the protocol of the vService; Human Verification codes, however, are written whenever the related verification takes place, regardless of the selection.

ddos (L7 DDoS Protection) ​

FieldTypeDescription
ddos.ruletextThe code of the triggered L7 DDoS rule (table below). Written if the rule was triggered, whether the protection is in Enforce or Monitor mode; empty if no rule was triggered. If the source exceeded the hard limit of the source IP limit and entered quarantine, the quarantine makes the decision and this field may stay empty.
ddos.observednumber | nullThe value measured at the moment the decision was made.
ddos.limitnumber | nullThe limit of the rule.

Country and network type rows with no limit defined (checking membership only) do not measure a counter, so observed and limit are null on these rows; on limited rows both fields are filled. Their interface equivalents are DDoS Rule and Trigger (Value / Limit).

ddos.ruleRule
sRSource IP Request Protection
sCSource IP Connection Protection
errSource IP Error Protection
tRTotal Request Protection
tCTotal Connection Protection

c0, c1, …Country Control rule row. Numbering starts at zero: c0 is the 1st row in the interface.
n0, n1, …Network Type Group Control rule row. Numbering starts at zero: n0 is the 1st row in the interface.
hardTotalReqThe hard limit of Total Request Protection (Hard Ceiling in the interface)
hardTotalConnThe hard limit of Total Connection Protection (Hard Ceiling in the interface)

ipReputation (IP Reputation Protection) ​

FieldTypeDescription
ipReputation.categorytextThe IP reputation category the source address is in; if it is in more than one category, the first match according to the order of the action rules is written. Filled while IP Reputation Protection is in Enforce or Monitor mode; also written when the request is not blocked (whitelist, verified bot or no matching rule). Empty if the address is in none of the categories used in the action rules.

client (Client Identity) ​

FieldTypeDescription
client.ja4textThe raw JA4 TLS fingerprint of the client. Filled only on TLS connections, when the device has JA4 support and a setting that uses JA4 (the JA4 factors of Bot Protection, a JA4 whitelist entry or the %JA4 variable) exists. Its interface equivalent is JA4 (Raw).
client.ja4FamilytextThe TLS stack family the JA4 fingerprint belongs to (list below). Empty if the fingerprint is not recognized or the device has no JA4 support. Its interface equivalent is TLS Fingerprint (JA4).
client.ja4MatchtextWhich match the family was found with: e exact JA4 match, c cipher suite level match. Empty if there is no match. It does not show whether TLS and the User-Agent are consistent; this inconsistency is reported by the tlsUaMismatch or ja4ToolImpersonation factor.
client.uaFamilytextThe browser or tool family claimed by the User-Agent header (list below). Empty if the User-Agent fits no pattern or the device has no JA4 support. Its interface equivalent is User-Agent Claim.
client.networkTypetextThe network type group of the source address (table below). Empty if the address cannot be classified (e.g. private address ranges). Its interface equivalent is Network Type.

client.ja4Family values: chromium, firefox, safari, curl, wget, python, go, java, node, postman, dotnet, ruby, php, rust, schannel, openssl, cfnetwork and the generic tool used when more than one tool shares the same fingerprint.

client.uaFamily values: crawler, curl, wget, python, go, java, cfnetwork, node, postman, dotnet, ruby, php, rust, safari, chromium, firefox; none when the User-Agent header is empty and the tlsUaMismatch factor is selected in Bot Protection.

The network type is checked on every request

client.networkType is filled on every request; it stays empty only for addresses that cannot be classified in the network type database.

exempt (Exemptions) ​

FieldTypeDescription
exempt.ddostrue | falseThe client is on the whitelist of L7 DDoS protection.
exempt.bottrue | falseThe client is on the whitelist of Bot Protection.
exempt.ipReputationtrue | falseThe client is on the whitelist of IP Reputation Protection.

The flags become true when the protection's own whitelist condition or entries match. The own exemptions of the country and network type rule rows in L7 DDoS do not change the exempt.ddos flag.

Additional Fields ​

FieldTypeDescription
captchaFailstextThe number of failed CAPTCHA attempts within the tracked period and the quarantine threshold, in n/threshold form (e.g. 2/3). Written only on a request whose CAPTCHA response failed and when failed solutions are tied to quarantine on the Captcha card; empty on other requests. The value is text, not a number.
quarantinedBytextThe mechanism that sent the client to the Quarantine box with this request (table below). Written only on the request at the moment of entering the box; empty on subsequent requests the client sends while in the box.
ceilingDroptrue | falsetrue if the request was dropped without a response because the hard ceiling of the total request or connection rate was exceeded. In this case action is silentDrop. The hard ceiling is applied only while the protection is in Enforce mode and a hard limit is defined in Total Request or Total Connection Protection; it is not applied to clients on the L7 DDoS whitelist.

Decision Logic ​

More than one protection may be triggered on a request; only the action of the winning decision is written to the object. Evaluation is done in the following order:

01 · QuarantineQuarantine boxA client in the box is turned away directly
02 · ddosL7 DDoS ProtectionVolume and country/network type rules
03 · ipRepIP Reputation ProtectionKnown bad addresses
04 · botBot ProtectionBehavioral bot score
  • The first one wins. For a client in the quarantine box, the box always makes the decision and module is quarantine; the protections still run and write their measurements to the object. On the request where a rule sends the client to the box, the box also makes the decision. On a request not in the box, the action applied by L7 DDoS takes precedence over the actions of IP reputation and bot. The measurements of the losing protections are still written to the object: even if L7 DDoS wins, bot.score and ipReputation.category may come filled.
  • Order within L7 DDoS: country rule, network type rule, source IP request and connection limits, error limit, total limits, active source count.
  • Monitor mode does not win. A protection in Monitor mode does not apply an action, so it is not written to the module field; it only fills the monitor object. If more than one protection matches in monitor mode, only the first protection in priority order is written.
  • If no action was applied, action is determined in this order: monitored, whitelisted, trustedBot, passed.
  • Verified bot: trustedBot is written when the client's network type is verified_bot and one of the protections trusts verified bots. By default Bot Protection and IP Reputation Protection trust them, L7 DDoS does not.
  • The hard ceiling is independent. The hard ceiling of the total request or connection rate is applied regardless of which protection wins; when exceeded, ceilingDrop is true and action is silentDrop. It is not applied to clients on the L7 DDoS whitelist.

Scenario Examples ​

The records below are shortened for readability: only the fields describing the scenario are shown; the real record contains all keys.

Block Due to Bot Score ​

json
{
  "action": "block",
  "module": "bot",
  "summary": "block: bot score 91 reached threshold 85",
  "bot": {"score": 91, "class": "bot", "threshold": 85, "factors": "botUa;notBrowser;missingHeaders;rapidRequests;"},
  "client": {"uaFamily": "python", "networkType": "hosting"}
}

With a bot score of 91, the request is in the Bad Bot class (bot code) and the action rule with threshold 85 matched. uaFamily and networkType show that the request came from a Python script running at a hosting provider.

CAPTCHA at the L7 DDoS Limit ​

json
{
  "action": "captcha",
  "module": "ddos",
  "summary": "captcha: ddos rule sR exceeded (240/100)",
  "ddos": {"rule": "sR", "observed": 240, "limit": 100}
}

The request rate of the source address is 240, the Source IP Request Protection limit is 100; the rule is in Enforce mode and showed a CAPTCHA.

Quarantine Due to IP Reputation ​

json
{
  "action": "quarantine",
  "module": "quarantine",
  "summary": "quarantine: source is in quarantine",
  "ipReputation": {"category": "hacking"},
  "quarantinedBy": "ipRep"
}

The address is in the Hacking category and the IP reputation rule put the client into quarantine. Since the box makes the decision also at the moment of entry, module is quarantine; quarantinedBy shows which protection sent the client to the box. quarantinedBy is filled only on this first request; on subsequent requests the client sends while in the box, it comes empty with the same module and summary.

Whitelisted Client ​

json
{
  "action": "whitelisted",
  "module": "",
  "summary": "whitelisted: exempt by whitelist",
  "exempt": {"ddos": false, "bot": true, "ipReputation": false}
}

The client is on the whitelist of Bot Protection; the request was passed. The bot score is still calculated and may appear in the bot object.

Verified Bot ​

json
{
  "action": "trustedBot",
  "module": "",
  "summary": "trustedBot: verified crawler",
  "client": {"uaFamily": "crawler", "networkType": "verified_bot"}
}

The address is in a range published by a verified bot (crawler); the request was passed.

Scope and Limits ​

INFO

  • %THREAT_INFO is used only on HTTP vServices and only in log profiles with a Manual format; it is not produced on L7 TCP and Network vServices.
  • The variable is calculated for every request on vServices whose log profile uses it; the per-request processor cost is in the order of a few microseconds and affects only these vServices.
  • The object does not carry the time, client address, host, request line, response code or raw User-Agent header (only the client.uaFamily family is present); these are added to the log profile as separate rows.
  • Traffic dropped at the network layer before a request is formed (e.g. L4 DDoS Protection) does not enter the HTTP access log and is therefore not in this object.
  • ddos.observed and ddos.limit carry only the values; the time window in which the limit is measured is not in the object and is read from the rule's own setting.
  • bot.score and bot.class show the score without reduction. Human verification (Human Verification factors) lowers the score in the action decision; therefore a score above the lowest action threshold may be seen on a passed request.
  • For a client in the quarantine box, action is written as quarantine; the configured response type of the box is not reflected in this field. If a client in the box hits the hard ceiling, action is silentDrop and ceilingDrop is true.
  • Records are sent to the syslog addresses defined in the log profile; transport and format settings are managed from the Logs profile.
