• 📄 Configuration changes (in environment variables in ./config/) for Malcolm and in control_vars.conf for Hedgehog Linux
  • The following variables in ./config/filebeat.env configure Malcolm's ability to accept syslog messages:
    • FILEBEAT_SYSLOG_TCP_LISTEN and FILEBEAT_SYSLOG_UDP_LISTEN - if set to true, Malcolm will accept syslog messages over TCP and/or UDP, respectively
    • FILEBEAT_SYSLOG_TCP_PORT and FILEBEAT_SYSLOG_UDP_PORT - the port on which Malcolm will accept syslog messages over TCP and/or UDP, respectively
    • FILEBEAT_SYSLOG_TCP_FORMAT and FILEBEAT_SYSLOG_UDP_FORMAT - one of auto, rfc3164, or rfc5424, to specify the allowed format for syslog messages over TCP and/or UDP, respectively (default auto)
    • FILEBEAT_SYSLOG_TCP_MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE and FILEBEAT_SYSLOG_UDP_MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE - defines the maximum message size of the message received over TCP and/or UDP, respectively (default: 10KiB for UDP, 20MiB for TCP)
    • FILEBEAT_SYSLOG_TCP_MAX_CONNECTIONS - specifies the maximum current number of TCP connections for syslog messages
    • FILEBEAT_SYSLOG_TCP_SSL - if set to true, syslog messages over TCP will require the use of TLS. When ./scripts/auth_setup is run, self-signed certificates are generated which may be used by remote log forwarders. Located in Malcolm's ./filebeat/certs/ directory, the certificate authority and client certificate and key files should be copied to the host on which the forwarder is running and used when defining its settings for connecting to Malcolm.
  • The following variables in ./config/zeek.env for Malcolm and control_vars.conf for Hedgehog Linux pertain to the new Omron FINS protocol parser:
    • ZEEK_DISABLE_ICS_OMRON_FINS - if set to true, the Omron FINS parser will be disabled
    • ZEEK_OMRON_FINS_DETAILED - if set to true, a verbose Omron FINS details log (omron_fins_detail.log) will be created
• 🧹 Code and project maintenance
