Threat Bus 2020.12.16
Matching Metrics & Systemd Units
This release brings new Systemd unit files to Threat Bus and pyvast-threatbus
. Tenzir updates and maintains these unit files as part of the Threat Bus repository. Both unit files are sandboxed, feature dynamic users, and aim at generally protecting the Linux host-system.
Additionally, pyvast-threatbus
now collects basic application metrics about matching with VAST. It writes out these metrics to a file in a configurable interval. The collected metrics differ depending on the use-case: for retro-matching, pyvast-threatbus
collects the amount of retro-matches per IoC together with the query-time per IoC. For live-matching, pyvast-threatbus
simply collects the amount of matches in general. For both cases it always meters the number of added and removed IoCs.
