Issue/Introduction

There is no option in VIP Auth Hub to export all the audit logs to a file.

For auditing purposes all logs available in VIP Auth Hub need to be exported.
What are the available options?

Environment

Release : AuthHub Release October.01.2022( M9)

Resolution

Following Open Source Tool can help to export the logs


https://github.com/pteich/elastic-query-export

elastic-query-export
Export Data from ElasticSearch to CSV by Raw or Lucene Query (e.g. from Kibana). Works with ElasticSearch 6+ (OpenSearch works too) and makes use of ElasticSearch's Scroll API and Go's concurrency possibilities to work as fast as possible.

Install
Download a pre-compiled binary for your operating system from here: https://github.com/pteich/elastic-query-export/releases You need just this binary. It works on OSX (Darwin), Linux and Windows.

Usage
es-query-export -c "http://localhost:9200" -i "logstash-*" --start="2019-04-04T12:15:00" --fields="RemoteHost,RequestTime,Timestamp,RequestUri,RequestProtocol,Agent" -q "RequestUri:*export*"
CLI Options
Flag Default  
-h --help   show help
-v --version   show version
-c --connect http://localhost:9200 URI to ElasticSearch instance
-i --index logs-* name of index to use, use globbing characters * to match multiple
-q --query   Lucene query to match documents (same as in Kibana)
--fields   define a comma separated list of fields to export
-o --outfile output.csv name of output file
-f --outformat csv format of the output data: possible values csv, json, raw
-r --rawquery   optional raw ElasticSearch query JSON string
-s --start   optional start date - Format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.SSSZ. or any other Elasticsearch default format
-e --end   optional end date - Format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.SSSZ. or any other Elasticsearch default format
--timefield   optional time field to use, default to @timestamp
--verifySSL true optional define how to handle SSL certificates
--user   optional username
--pass   optional password
--size 1000 size of the scroll window, the more the faster the export works but it adds more pressure on your nodes
--trace false enable trace mode to debug queries send to ElasticSearch
Output Formats
csv - all or selected fields separated by comma (,) with field names in the first line
json - all or selected fields as JSON objects, one per line
raw - JSON dump of matching documents including id, index and _source field containing the document data. One document as JSON object per line.
 

Following is a sample command tested in VIP Auth Hub lab environment.

elastic-query-export -c "http://192.168.0.100:9200" -i "ssp_*" --start="2022-11-08T06:33:57.544Z" -q "*" --size=10000
