Advanced Reporting and Alerts
Reporting & Alerts dashboard provides an overview of the top 5 events, two built-in reports and your custom reports. The "Recent Activity" report is a built-in report that provides basic event tracking for the last 1,000 events across 16 event types. Customers can upgrade to the Advanced Reporting and Alerts module to track over 75 event types and generate custom reports and alert notifications.
The "Recent Activity" and "All Security Events" reports are provided in all Keeper Business and Enterprise subscriptions. Custom reporting and alerts is a feature of the Advanced Reporting and Alerts Module (ARAM). To take advantage of this capability, please contact your Keeper Security account manager or upgrade your subscription through the Secure Add Ons interface of the Admin Console.
Additionally, a user status report is available via the dashboard. See the Dashboard section in this guide.
You can create your own reports by clicking "Add Custom Report".
Preview the results by clicking "Apply", and if you want to use the report in the future, click the "Save" button. You can export the events as a file in JSON, CSV or SysLog formats.
New events generated by Keeper vault devices can take up to 10 minutes to appear in the reporting module.
The Timeline Chart provides a chart of events over a 24-hour, 7-day and 30-day period. Clicking on any event row will open a report containing all events from the time period.
The Alert module allows you to create event-based triggers that will generate either email or SMS-based alerts.
New alerts are created similarly to new reports, by clicking "Add Alert" and specifying a name and a filter criteria. You can add one or more recipients using email address, phone number (for SMS) or both. Recipients don't have to be a part of your enterprise and any email address or phone number can be provided. The first recipient is a predefined one - it is the user who generated the event. It is "off" by default, you need to toggle the switch to enable sending the alerts (email only) to the originator.
Specifying a broad event and attribute filter could generate a lot of alerts. Adjust alert frequency and set narrow event types and filters to reduce alert noise.
To prevent the recipients from receiving too many emails or SMS, alerts can be throttled. One way to throttle is to specify Alert Frequency. For example, if you set the frequency to "Once Per Time Period" with a period of 1 hour than all events matching the alert filter will still trigger the alert "occurrence" but the message will be sent only if 1 hour passed since the time of the previous message. Another way to throttle the alert is to put it on pause using the toggle switch. Paused alert will also accumulate "occurrences" without sending the actual messages. When resumed, the very next event matching the alert will trigger sending the message which will contain the number of events that happened while being on pause.
Below is an example of an email alert.
You can view the alert history in the "Alerts Sent" tab, with the ability to drill down to see the individual events:
If you are utilizing a 3rd party SIEM solution, the Keeper Admin Console can be configured to automatically feed live event data into external SIEM products. Currently supported systems include Splunk (via HTTP Event Collector), Sumo Logic (via HTTP Logs and metrics Source), AWS S3 Bucket (via bucket name/access credentials) and IBM QRadar (via Syslog push). Only one method of the external sync can be active at a time.
Click on "Setup" to activate the external logging solution.
Set up is easy on each logging platform and typically only requires a few attributes to integrate. For example, splunk only requires three fields: Host, Port, & Token.
Event logs are pushed from Keeper's backend logging system through a static set of IP addresses. Please ensure that your SIEM HTTP collector IP/port is open to the below addresses.
US / Global
34.194.242.137
18.235.39.229
EU / Dublin
54.246.149.209
34.250.37.43
After external logging is established, it might be automatically put on pause if the external system becomes unavailable and the number of the events in the queue reaches a threshold of 50. If this happens, you will have to manually resume the external logging after correcting the issue. We recommend setting up an alert for the "Paused Audit log Sync" event so you get notified if the external logging is broken.
External logging is real-time, new events appear almost immediately in the external system. The exception is AWS S3 Bucket, which operates on a time frame you set for writing to the bucket. For example, if you set the time frame to a "day", all events will accumulate until the day has ended (using UTC clock) and then a new file containing all day events will be added to your S3 bucket.
Within the Admin Console, the default "Recent Activity" report contains 16 event types. Keeper's Advanced Reporting and Alert module supports over 75 event types.
The events captured by Keeper Enterprise are visible in the dropdown menus for report and alert configuration.
In addition to using the user interface for generating custom reports, Keeper supports a command-line interface (CLI) and Python SDK to programmatically generate reports.
Keeper Commander is an open source tool that provides command-line access and automation / integration capabilities. Download Keeper Commander from:
For example, below is a screenshot of the "audit-report" command usage which can be used to generate custom reports through the CLI:
Keeper Commander also integrates into 3rd party SIEM solutions that operate on-premise. For a comprehensive look at how Keeper Commander can be utilized in your environment, please visit the Keeper Commander SDK on Github. If you require assistance with Keeper Commander, please contact commander@keepersecurity.com.
A list of all available events captured by the Keeper Advanced Reporting and Alert Module are provided below. The Event Code is utilized in the user interface and within the Keeper Commander CLI command parameters. The Message field is utilized for the Alerting module.
Within each event, there may be additional attributes such as Record UID, Shared Folder UID, Team UID, Username, etc. These attributes will appear within the event description and they are also provided to the 3rd party SIEM provider in the format as specified by the destination.
