Setting up HTTP servers

Prev Next

To set up HTTP servers, perform the following subtasks:

  • Add the HTTP servers

  • Configure the HTTP server listing

To add an HTTP server:
  1. Enable the CLI configuration mode:

    hostname > enable
    hostname # configure terminal
  2. Enable HTTP notifications:

    hostname (config) # fenotify http enable
  3. Specify the name of the HTTP server to receive the notification. URLs and email addresses are not allowed.

    hostname (config) # fenotify http service service-name
  4. Specify which servers will post HTTP notifications (one server per command):

    hostname (config) # fenotify http service service_name enable
  5. Specify the URL for each HTTP server to receive the notification:

    hostname (config) # fenotify http service service_name server-url url
  6. Save the configuration:

    hostname (config) # write memory
To configure the HTTP server listing:
  1. Enable the CLI configuration mode:

    hostname > enablehostname # configure terminal
  2. Enable HTTP notifications:

    hostname (config) # fenotify http enable
  3. (Optional) If authentication is required for the server, enable authentication and then specify the user name and password for HTTP authentication:

    hostname (config) # fenotify http service service_name auth enable
    hostname (config) # fenotify http service service_name auth username user_name
    • To obfuscate the password as you type it:

      hostname (config) # fenotify http service service_name auth password
      Password: <******>
      Confirm: <******>
    • To skip the prompt and display the password in clear text:

      hostname (config) # fenotify http service service_name auth password password
  4. Specify the delivery schedule for HTTP notifications:

    Note

    Trellix recommends using per-event notifications.

    • To send a daily notification of all malware objects detected the past 24 hours in the selected format and level of details (default is Concise), enter:

      hostname (config) # fenotify http service service_name prefer message delivery daily-digest
    • To send a notification each time a malware object is detected, enter:

      hostname (config) # fenotify http service service_name prefer message delivery per-event
  5. (Optional) If you want to use SSL for notifications:

    hostname (config) # fenotify http service service_name ssl enable
    hostname (config) # fenotify http service service_name ssl verify
  6. Specify the service provider. The default service provider is generic.

    Note

    Trellix recommends using the generic service provider.

    • To select the currently active service provider, enter:

      hostname (config) # fenotify http service service_name provider default
    • To select the generic provider, enter:

      hostname (config) # fenotify http service service_name provider generic
    • To select Aruba as the provider, enter:

      hostname (config) # fenotify http service service_name provider aruba
  7. Select one of the XML, JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), or Text options for the format of the HTTP notifications:

    Note

    The json_legacy-concise, json_legacy-extended, and json_legacy-normal formats are deprecated.

    • To post notifications in XML Concise format containing basic information such as alert type, ID, source IP, malware name, hostname, and alert URL, enter:

      hostname (config) # fenotify http service service_name provider generic message format xml-concise
    • To post notifications in XML Extended format containing detailed information and abstracts including data-theft information (if any) and static-analysis details (XML Extended provides all details about files and objects modified during analysis.), enter:

      hostname (config) # fenotify http service service_name provider generic message format xml-extended
    • To post notifications in XML Normal format containing detailed information and abstracts such as alert type, ID, source IP, malware name, hostname, and alert URL without any redundant information, enter:

      hostname (config) # fenotify http service service_name provider generic message format xml-normal
    • To post notifications in JSON Concise format containing basic information such as alert type, ID, source IP, malware name, hostname, and alert URL, enter:

      hostname (config) # fenotify http service service_name provider generic message format  json-concise
    • To post notifications in JSON Extended format containing detailed information and abstracts including data-theft information (if any) and static-analysis details (JSON Extended provides all details about files and objects modified during analysis.), enter:

      hostname (config) # fenotify http service service_name provider generic message format json-extended
    • To post notifications in JSON Normal format containing detailed information and abstracts such as alert type, ID, source IP, malware name, hostname, and alert URL without any redundant information, enter:

      hostname (config) # fenotify http service service_name provider generic message format json-normal
    • To post notifications in Text Concise format containing basic information such as alert type, ID, source IP, malware name, hostname, and alert URL, enter:

      hostname (config) # fenotify http service service_name provider generic message format text-concise
    • To post notifications in Text Extended format containing detailed information and abstracts including data-theft information (if any) and static-analysis details (Text Extended provides all details about files and objects modified during analysis.), enter:

      hostname (config) # fenotify http service service_name provider generic message format text-extended
    • To post notifications in Text Normal format containing detailed information and abstracts such as alert type, ID, source IP, malware name, hostname, and alert URL without any redundant information, enter:

      hostname (config) # fenotify http service service_name provider generic message format text-normal
  8. Save the configuration:

    hostname (config) # write memory
