Generic SIEM (HTTP/Webhook) Integration

​

Overview

​

Use Cases

• Custom SIEM Systems: Send logs to your in-house security monitoring tools
• Third-party Security Platforms: Integrate with security tools that accept webhooks
• Custom Dashboards: Build your own security event visualization
• Testing & Development: Use webhook testing services to verify log delivery
• Legacy Systems: Connect to older security tools that only support HTTP endpoints

​

Configuration Steps

​

1. Get a Test Endpoint

1. Visit https://webhook.site
2. Copy your unique URL (e.g., https://webhook.site/ae0761ed-7939-4d86-be2f-ed58d0e65dd3)
3. Keep this page open to monitor incoming webhooks

​

2. Configure the Integration

1. Navigate to Integrations in your SecureAI admin panel
2. Find “Generic SIEM (HTTP/Webhook)” in the SIEM category
3. Click “Connect Integration”

​

3. Fill in the Configuration

​

Basic Settings

• Integration Name: Test Generic SIEM (or any descriptive name)
• Endpoint URL: https://webhook.site/ae0761ed-7939-4d86-be2f-ed58d0e65dd3
• HTTP Method: POST (recommended for most SIEM platforms)
• HTTP Headers: {"Content-Type": "application/json"}

​

Event Categories

• Authentication & Login
• API & Model Usage
• Data Access & PHI
• SMLTP & Policies
• Billing & Usage Limits
• Analytics

• Security & Violations
• System & Infrastructure
• Configuration Changes

​

4. Test the Connection

1. Click “Test Connection” to verify connectivity

2. Check webhook.site - you should see a test request
3. Verify the response shows success

​

5. Save and Monitor

1. Click “Connect” to save the configuration
2. Perform actions in your SecureAI system (login, API calls, etc.)
3. Monitor webhook.site to see real-time logs

​

Advanced Configuration

​

Custom Headers

{
  "Content-Type": "application/json",
  "Authorization": "Bearer your-api-key",
  "X-Custom-Header": "custom-value"
}

​

When to Use Custom SIEM

• No SIEM System: If you don’t currently use any SIEM platform, this provides a simple way to start collecting security logs
• Additional Data Destinations: Send data to multiple locations simultaneously (e.g., your primary SIEM + a backup system)
• Custom Tools: Integrate with specialized security tools, data centers, or custom dashboards
• Communication Platforms: Send alerts to Teams channels, Slack, or other collaboration tools
• Legacy Systems: Connect to older security tools that only support HTTP endpoints
• Testing & Development: Use webhook testing services to verify log delivery before production deployment

​

Troubleshooting

​

Common Issues

1. Connection Timeout: Check if the endpoint is accessible and responding
2. Authentication Errors: Verify API keys and authentication headers
3. SSL/TLS Issues: Ensure proper certificate validation for HTTPS endpoints

​

Monitoring

• Check the integration status in your SecureAI admin panel
• Monitor webhook delivery success rates
• Review failed webhook attempts in the logs
• Verify endpoint availability and response times

​

Security Considerations

• HTTPS Only: Always use HTTPS endpoints in production
• Authentication: Implement proper authentication for your webhook endpoints
• Rate Limiting: Configure appropriate rate limits on your endpoints
• Log Retention: Implement proper log retention policies for compliance
• Access Control: Restrict access to webhook endpoints to authorized systems only

​

Best Practices

1. Start Small: Begin with essential event categories and expand gradually
2. Test Thoroughly: Use webhook.site or similar services for initial testing
3. Monitor Performance: Watch for webhook delivery delays or failures
4. Document Configuration: Keep detailed records of your webhook setup
5. Regular Review: Periodically review and update webhook configurations
6. Backup Plans: Have alternative logging methods in case webhooks fail

​

Done!
