About:
Libprelude is a core library of the Prelude SIEM framework, providing a high-level API for sending and receiving security events. It enables developers to easily integrate custom applications and network devices with the central SIEM system for centralized monitoring. This library abstracts the complexities of the IDMEF (Intrusion Detection Message Exchange Format) standard, facilitating seamless interoperability.
Key Features:
  • High-level API for IDMEF (Intrusion Detection Message Exchange Format)
  • Supports both sensor and manager roles
  • Provides bindings for multiple languages (C, Python, Perl, PHP, Ruby)
  • Ensures secure and reliable communication with the SIEM server
  • Automatic detection and reporting of network sensors
Use Cases:
  • Integrating custom applications into a centralized security monitoring system
  • Developing custom sensors for the Prelude SIEM framework
  • Sending alerts and events from network devices to a SIEM console
Alternatives:
  • rsyslog – Rsyslog is a general-purpose syslog server, whereas Libprelude is specifically designed for the structured IDMEF format used in security SIEM systems.
  • ossec-agent – Ossec agents report to an Ossec manager, while Libprelude provides a library to build agents or send events to the broader Prelude SIEM ecosystem.
