Remember, you must have awscli already configured in that server (run aws configure if needed). In this DRAFT I'm using /root/.aws/credentials file with [default] profile and access keys.

For the moment instance profile is not supported in this wrapper. To make Prowler run successfully make sure it runs properly. The wrapper just runs it and outputs JSON results to Wazuh's Elastic Search.

It may work in previous versions of Wazuh, but this document and integration was tested on Wazuh 3.7. So to have a Wazuh running installation is obviously required.

Integration steps

Add Prowler to Wazuh's integrations:

cd /var/ossec/integrations/
git clone https://github.com/toniblyx/prowler

Copy prowler-wrapper.py to integrations folder:

cp /var/ossec/integrations/prowler/integrations/prowler-wrapper.py /var/ossec/integrations/prowler-wrapper.py

Then make sure it is executable:

chmod +x /var/ossec/integrations/prowler-wrapper.py

If you want to disable logging for the wrapper execution, edit prowler-wrapper.py and set DEBUG_LEVEL = 0 at line 36.

Run Prowler wrapper manually to make sure it works fine (--debug 1 or --debug 2):

/var/ossec/integrations/prowler-wrapper.py --aws_profile default --aws_account_alias default --debug 2

Copy rules file to its location:

cp /var/ossec/integrations/prowler/integrations/0570-prowler_rules.xml /var/ossec/ruleset/rules/0570-prowler_rules.xml

Edit /var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf and add the following wodle configuration. Remember that here timeout 21600s is 6 hours, just to allow Prowler runs completely in case of a large account. The interval recommended is 1d.

  <wodle name="command">
    <disabled>no</disabled>
    <tag>aws-prowler: account1</tag>
    <command>/var/ossec/integrations/prowler-wrapper.py --aws_profile default --aws_account_alias default</command>
    <interval>1d</interval>
    <ignore_output>no</ignore_output>
    <run_on_start>no</run_on_start>
    <timeout>21600</timeout>
  </wodle>

Now restart wazuh-manager and look at /var/ossec/logs/alerts/alerts.json, eventually you should see FAIL checks detected by Prowler, then you will find them using Kibana. Some Kibana search examples are:

data.integration:"prowler" and data.prowler.status:"Fail"
data.integration:"prowler" AND rule.level >= 5
data.integration:"prowler" AND rule.level : 7 or 9

Adjust the level range to what alerts you want to include, as alerts, Elastic Search only gets fail messages.

1 - pass 3 - info 5 - error 7 - fail: not scored 9 - fail: scored

Troubleshooting

To make sure rules are working fine, run /var/ossec/bin/ossec-logtest and copy/paste this sample JSON:

{"prowler":{"Timestamp":"2018-11-29T03:15:50Z","Region":"us-east-1","Profile":"default","Account Number”:”1234567890”,”Control":"[check34] Ensure a log metric filter and alarm exist for IAM policy changes (Scored)","Message":"No CloudWatch group found for CloudTrail events","Status":"Fail","Scored":"Scored","Level":"Level 1","Control ID":"3.4"}, "integration": "prowler"}

You must see 3 phases goin on.

To check if there is any error you can enable the debug mode of modulesd setting the wazuh_modules.debug=0 variable to 2 in internal_options.conf file. Restart wazun-manager and errors should appear in the ossec.log file.

Thanks

To Jeremy Phillips jeremy@uranusbytes.com, who wrote the initial rules file and wrapper and helped me to understand how it works and debug it.

To Marta Gomez and the Wazuh team for their support to debug this integration and make it work properly. Their job on Wazuh and willingness to help is invaluable.
