1 Introduction
This guide details how to configure Barracuda Networks Web Application Firewall to send syslog data in the proper format to the ESM.
2 Prerequisites
McAfee Enterprise Security Manager Version 9.1.0 and above.
In order to configure the Barracuda Networks Web Application Firewall Syslog service, appropriate administrative level access is required to perform the necessary changes documented below.

3 Specific Data Source Configuration Details
3.1 Barracuda Networks Web Application Firewall Configuration
1. In a web browser, login to your Web Application Firewall device. 2. Go to the ADVANCED > Export Logs page.
3. In the Syslog section, click Add Syslog Server.
4. In the Add Syslog Server window add the following values: - Name: A name for reference in the WAF.
- IP Address: The IP address of your McAfee Event Receiver.
- Port: The port number used for syslog on your McAfee Event Receiver (514 by
default).
- Connection Type: Most commonly UDP. This is used by default in the McAfee
Event Receiver.
- Validate Server Certificate: Select No.
- Client Certificate: Not needed when Validate Server Certificate is set to No.
5. Click Add.
Note: The McAfee Event Receiver supports the default syslog logging format. Logs
are not guaranteed to parse correctly if changes have been made to the logging format or if a custom or alternate logging format is used.
3.2 McAfee Event Receiver Configuration
After successfully logging into the McAfee ESM console the data source will need to be added to a McAfee Event Receiver in the ESM hierarchy.
1. Select the Receiver you are applying the data source setting to. 2. Select the Receiver properties.
3. From the Receiver Properties listing, select “Data Sources”. 4. Select “Add Data Source”.
OR
1. Select the Receiver you are applying the data source setting to. 2. After selecting the Receiver, select the “Add Data Source” icon.

5 Appendix A - Generic Syslog Configuration Details
Once you select the option to add a data source, you are taken to the “Add Data Source” menu. The general options for adding a data source are shown. As you select different options, additional parameters may show. Each of these parameters will be examined in more detail.
1. Use System Profiles – System Profiles are a way to use settings that are repetitive in nature, without having to enter the information each time. An example is WMI credentials, which are necessary to retrieve Windows Event Logs if WMI is the chosen mechanism.
2. Data Source Vendor – List of all supported vendors.
3. Data Source Model – List of supported products for a vendor.
4. Data Format – “Data Format” is the format the data is in. Options are “Default”, “CEF”, and “MEF”.
Note – If you choose CEF it will enable the generic rule for CEF and may not parse data source-specific details.
5. Data Retrieval – “Data Retrieval” allows you to select how the Receiver is going to collect the data. Default is over syslog.
6. Enabled: Parsing/Logging/SNMP Trap – Enables parsing of the data source, logging of the data source, and reception of SNMP traps from the data source. If no option is checked, the settings are saved to the ESM, but not written to the Receiver or utilized. Default is to select “Parsing”.
7. Name – This is the name that will appear in the Logical Device Groupings tree and the filter lists.
8. IP Address/Hostname – The IP address and host name associated with the data source device.
9. Syslog Relay – “Syslog Relay” allows data to be collected via relays and bucketed to the correct data source. Enable syslog relay on relay sources such as Syslog-NG.
10. Mask – Enables you to apply a mask to an IP address so that a range of IP addresses can be accepted.
11. Require Syslog TLS – Enable to require the receiver to communicate over TLS.
12. Support Generic Syslog – “Generic Syslog” allows users to select “Parse generic syslog” or “Log ‘unknown syslog event”. Both these options will create an alert for an auto-learned syslog event if there is no parsing rule.
13. Time Zone - If syslog events are sent in a time zone other than GMT, you need to set the time zone of the data source so the date on the events can be set accordingly.
14. Interface – Opens the receiver interface settings to associate ports with streams of information.
15. Advanced – Opens advanced settings for the data source.
6 Appendix B - Troubleshooting
If a data source is not receiving events, verify that the data source settings have been written out and that policy has been rolled out to the Receiver.
If you see errors saying events are being discarded because the “Last Time” value is more than one hour in the future, or the values are incorrect, you may need to adjust the “Time Zone” setting.
