Ingest Log Data with a SIEM
In this challenge, you will learn how to ingest logs into the SIEM within the virtual environment. You’ll start by exploring the Elastic Stack Components within Security Onion, and will learn how to modify the configurations to ingest new data. You’ll then validate the data in the Security Onion instance of Kibana, and become acclimated with the web UI.

Search and Use Log Data with a SIEM
In this challenge, you will verify additional log sources for the SIEM, and explore additional ones to add from within the system. You’ll start out by ensuring that multiple sources of log data are being ingested, and configure any corresponding inputs, then add additional logs from the Security Onion system. Then, you will validate the data, and practice searching and using it within Kibana. You will also explore some of the prebuilt dashboards and visualizations for this data from Security Onion.
