Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of zSecure Audit exploiting the        *
    *                 software to prepare data for ArcSight SIEM.  *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The zSecure Audit ArcSight SIEM         *
    *                      interface generates CEF files that      *
    *                      contain non-integer process ID values   *
    *                      for the 'dvcpid' key so that these      *
    *                      values cannot be processed by the       *
    *                      ArcSight receiver.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF provided.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    The job IDs generated by the zSecure Audit ArcSight SIEM
    interface are represented by non-integer values under the
    'dvcpid' keys in a CEF file so that the corresponding CEF
    records cannot be processed by the ArcSight event receiver.
    

Problem conclusion

  • zSecure Admin/Audit has been modified so that the job IDs are
    written to a CEF file using the 'externalId' key so that the
    ArcSight event receiver processes the corresponding CEF records
    correctly.
    

Temporary fix
