External Audit Log Integration
Blink supports native audit log streaming to external SIEM systems, allowing organizations to integrate Blink audit data into tools like Splunk or Elasticsearch. This feature gives security teams greater visibility and control by centralizing audit logs for compliance, monitoring, and incident response without the need for manual exports. Tenant admins can configure their SIEM endpoint directly in Blink, test the connection, and begin streaming audit logs in real time.
1
Navigate to the 'Audit Log Settings' page
In the top right-corner of the Audit Log page, select the icon
2
Enter the Required Parameters
-
Enable audit log streaming:
- When enabled, audit logs will be delivered to your specified external destination in real time.
- Disabling this will stop all log delivery and deactivate the form below.
-
URL:
- The destination URL for your external logging service.
This must be a reachable HTTPS endpoint that supports log ingestion.
- The destination URL for your external logging service.
-
Authentication Token:
- A token or API Key used to authenticate requests to your external logging endpoint. This is required for secure delivery of audit logs.
-
Destination Type- Select the type of destination where logs will be sent:
- Splunk HEC
- HTTP (Bearer Auth)
- Elasticsearch
3
Optional-Test Connection
You can verify that Blink is successfully connected to your selected SIEM platform by clicking the ‘Test Connection’ button.
Configuration Guide: Generating a Splunk HTTP Event Collector (HEC) Token
Follow this step-by-step guide, to learn how to generate Splunk HTTP Event Collector (HEC) token, which is required for integrating Splunk with the Blink platform. This token is required to integrate Splunk with the Blink platform in order to stream Blink’s audit logs to a selected external destination. Note: The images used in this guide are for illustration purposes only. Your Splunk configuration may differ based on your organization’s environment, existing settings, and indexing policies. Use the images as a visual reference to help guide you through each step.
1
Access the HTTP Event Collector
Log in to your Splunk Enterprise account. In the top-right corner, click on Settings, then search for HTTP Event Collector and select it.
2
Select Source
Fill in all required fields for the data source configuration.
3
Input Settings
Choose the appropriate indexes that the ‘HTTP Event Collector’ token will be allowed to access.
Reminder: The indexes displayed in the example image may differ from your organization’s configuration. Be sure to select the correct indexes based on your environment and data routing needs.
4
Review
Review all the details you have entered to ensure everything is accurate before proceeding.
5
Token Created Successfully
Once the token has been generated in Splunk, copy it and securely store it.
6
Integrate with Blink
To complete the integration with Blink, go to the Audit Settings section of the Blink platform and do the following:
- Paste the token into the Authentication Token field
- Enter the URL: If the HEC feature is enabled in the Splunk Enterprise platform you will see the port it uses (by default, it’s
8088). Your full url will look something like thishttps://splunk.yourcompany.com:8088 - Select Splunk HEC as the Destination Type
7
Test Connection and Save Settings
Click Test Connection to verify that the URL and token have been entered correctly and that Blink can successfully communicate with your Splunk instance. Once the connection is validated, click Save Settings to apply the configuration.
