Azure Monitor

What is "Persistence Azure Monitor" Hook about?

The Azure Monitor persistenceProvider hook saves all findings and reports into the configured Azure Monitor workspace using the Data Collector API. This allows working with the data in Azure Monitor or Microsoft Sentinel to configure alerting based on new findings. It will create a custom log type for every scantype titled SCB_[scantype_name].

Installing the Azure Monitor persistenceProvider hook will add a ReadOnly Hook to your namespace.

Deployment

The persistence-azure-monitor chart can be deployed via helm:

# Install HelmChart (use -n to configure another namespace)
helm upgrade --install persistence-azure-monitor secureCodeBox/persistence-azure-monitor

Requirements

Kubernetes: >=v1.11.0-0

Additional Chart Configurations

The hook requires the Azure Monitor Workspace ID and its Primary Key for authentication. For details on how to find them, see this page. Create a Kubernetes secret with these values using

# Create the secret (use a leading space to avoid having secrets in your shell history)
# Replace "workspace=your-workspace-id" with your Workspace ID
# Replace "sharedkey=your-shared-key" with your Primary Key
 kubectl create secret generic azure-monitor --from-literal=workspace=your-workspace-id --from-literal=sharedkey=your-shared-key

Then, configure the hook to use this secret when installing it:

helm upgrade --install persistence-azure-monitor . --wait \
             --set="monitor.authentication.apiKeySecret="azure-monitor""
