Interface in eve log

Hello. I was wondering what configuration is required for the alert eve output to contain the interface information. I am running a config with just about alert configured and I’m missing the interface information. thank you

By default the EVE-JSON, in any event_type (except stats) should always contain an in_iface top-level field with the interface name when capturing from a live interface. Note that you will not get it when using a pcap input (e.g. via the -r command line option).

Can you probably share the outputs section of your suricata.yaml?

tkx you sascha. outputs below. i don’t have that field in my json

outputs:

  # Packet log... log packets in pcap format. 3 modes of operation: "normal"

  #
  # In normal mode a pcap file "filename" is created in the default-log-dir,
  # or are as specified by "dir".
  # In multi mode, a file is created per thread. This will perform much
  # better, but will create multiple files where 'normal' would create one.
  # In multi mode the filename takes a few special variables:
  # - %n -- thread number
  # - %i -- thread id
  # - %t -- timestamp (secs or secs.usecs based on 'ts-format'
  # E.g. filename: pcap.%n.%t
  #
  # Note that it's possible to use directories, but the directories are not
  # created by Suricata. E.g. filename: pcaps/%n/log.%s will log into the
  # per thread directory.
  #
  # Also note that the limit and max-files settings are enforced per thread.
  # So the size limit when using 8 threads with 1000mb files and 2000 files
  # is: 8*1000*2000 ~ 16TiB.

Uh… It looks like there are various uncommented lines sprinkled throughout, e.g. types: has no sub-items (they are commented out) and the extended: no from the http section will be interpreted in the wrong section. I am surprised this seems to parse fine.

To test this, I used your output config together with the default config from the latest Suricata master (you didn’t mention the version you used), added a quick rule:

alert http any any -> any any (msg:"foo bar"; sid:1;)

and listened for a while on an interface:

suricata -c suricata.yaml -vv -i en0 -S test.rules

[775] 21/5/2020 -- 23:57:35 - (conf-yaml-loader.c:291) <Info> (ConfYamlParse) -- Configuration node 'extended' redefined.
...

(you can see the result of the uncommented lines up there) and visited http://neverssl.com.

However, I did get the in_iface output in my EVE:

You did use a live interface as input, right?

  # or are as specified by "dir".
  # In multi mode, a file is created per thread. This will perform much
  # better, but will create multiple files where 'normal' would create one.
  # In multi mode the filename takes a few special variables:
  # - %n -- thread number
  # - %i -- thread id
  # - %t -- timestamp (secs or secs.usecs based on 'ts-format'
  # E.g. filename: pcap.%n.%t
  #
  # Note that it's possible to use directories, but the directories are not
  # created by Suricata. E.g. filename: pcaps/%n/log.%s will log into the
  # per thread directory.

  # is: 8*1000*2000 ~ 16TiB.

i shall see if it shows iface now.

no iface. importnat to say that this is vxlan transit. maybe vxlan do not have support for iface?

That does indeed seem relevant. VXLAN are unpacked and the inner packet is put in a ‘fake’ packet in Suricata’s internal processing. It may loose the info of the original interface.

If you’re willing to test a patch let me know, I think this might be a one line fix.
