0.11.0 - 2020-03-26

Download at https://evebox.org/.

Enhancements

• Handle Filebeat overriding the "host" field with its own object by normalizing the sensor name before rendering. If Filebeat is used, the Suricata provided sensor name is lost, so use the Filebeat provided host.name instead. https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/issues/100
• Allow esimport to read from multiple eve files. If bookmarking is used, --bookmark-dir must be used instead of --bookmark-filename. https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/issues/98
• Support Elastic Search 7. https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/issues/112
• Reduce the amount of per minute logs by moving some message to debug (verbose) mode. https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/issues/116

Fixes

• Show event services on first click through to event, rather than having to refresh to see them. Issue: https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/issues/109
• Fix sensor name display when event is clicked on in inbox or alert view. https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/issues/104

Breaking Changes

• esimport now uses a default index of logstash instead of evebox to match common usage.
• The evebox application now requires a command name. It will not fallback to the server command anymore.
• The EveBox server will now bind to localhost by default instead of being open. Use the --host command line option to accept connections more openly. https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/issues/110
• GitHub authentication has been removed. Looks like its been broken for a little while now.

Known Issues

• Filebeat: The basic views work with Filebeat indices but searching does not. This is due to Filebeat indexing fields as keywords which complicates "free text" searching. This will probably not be fixed, but instead focus will be on supporting Elastic Search ECS (or more simply the Suricata plugin for filebeat) - https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/issues/97

Deprecations

• LetsEncrypt support: This is better done by a reverse proxy where LetsEncrypt support is more of a design goal.
• Plain Filebeat indices will likely be deprecated due to issues with searching.

0.10.1 - 2018-12-20

• Fix issue when behind a path on a reverse proxy. https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/issues/84

Full Changelog

0.10.2 - 2019-01-30

Fixed

• If EveBox is installing the Elastic Search template, re-configure after installation to figure out the keyword suffix instead of requiring EveBox to be restarted. https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/issues/85
• Update the Brace Javascript dependency. Fixes issue loading event view. https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/issues/91
• In agg reports use default min_doc_count of 1 instead of 0. Prevents values from showing in the report that have 0 hits, when the number of results in less than the number of results requested. Affects: Elastic Search. https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/issues/99
• Remove top rrdata from DNS report as its not really valid with DNS v2 alerts. Best to remove it until an alternate metric can be used to report on DNS responses. Closes https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/issues/72.
• Fixed pager button on "Events" view. https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/issues/92
• Fix issue with drop down event type selector on events view page where choosing an event type was taking users back to the index.
• Fix pcap downloads when authentication is on. This requires setting a cookie as this isn't an XHR/REST style request. https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/issues/90
• Fix doc on adding a user. https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/issues/89

Full Changelog

0.10.0 - 2018-12-19

• Update to Angular 7.
• Migrate to Go 1.11 module support. This requires Go 1.11, but no longer requires building in the GOPATH.
• Event rendering fixes.
• Allow Elastic Search index prefix and template name to be different. https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/issues/83

Full Changelog

0.9.1 - 2018-05-29

• Better Elastic Search version support, including Elastic Search 6.
• Fix rule highlight (including making reference URLs links).
• Various event view cleanups.
• [Agent] The agent will now add the rule to the alert object, the same location as Suricata.
• [Elastic Search] If no keyword found, use "raw" for those remaining Elastic Search 2 templates out there.

Downloads

Fixed

• The inbox will not remember the sort after after archiving or escalating event. Indicators of sort order were added, and the sort order is now retained after refresh or page reload. https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/issues/61
• [Elastic Search] Per IP report when the src_ip and dest_ip fields have been mapped to the IP datatype (https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/issues/56)
• When parsing rules, if parse error was encountered the remaining rules would not be parsed. Instead log and continue parsing.
• Various fixes to oneshot where it would stop reading the input file.
• Fix eve reader getting stuck on malformed records (https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/issues/69)
• Various fixes to the SSH report.

Changes

• Upgrade the Bootstrap CSS framework to version 4.
• Include Logstash 6 template for use with Elastic Search 6.
• Convert the SSH histogram graph to bars instead of lines, in consideration of doing this for all histogram graphs.

Removed

• Support for Elastic Search versions less than 5.

Full Changelog

0.8.1 - 2017-12-10

Added

• Commenting support for PostgreSQL.
  • With "has:comment" query string support.
  • And "comment:SOME_STRING" for search comments.
• In oneshot mode, continue reading the last file to pickup new events (https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/issues/54).
• Add "Newer" and "Oldest" buttons to the "Events" view.

Fixed

• Fix an issue with updating the "active" row after archiving events.
• Strip trailing slashes in the Elastic Search URL (https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/issues/55).

Changes

• In requests to the backend, rename maxTs, minTs, eventType to max_ts, min_ts and event_type.

Other Notes The MacOS builds on Travis-CI started failing and I have no reasonable way to debug. So MacOS binary packages are no longer being built.

0.8.0 - 2017-06-30

Added

• The agent, and the server when reading logs can now add the rule to the event by providing the locatin of the rule files in the configuration.
• Add option to esimport to add rule to event.
• If an event has a "rule" object it will now be displayed in the event details.
• Initial support for PostgreSQL. Like SQLite this does not yet support reporting.
• Event history recording. A timestamp and username will be recorded when an alert is archived, escalated or de-escalated.
• Support for commenting on events (Elastic Search only) (https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/issues/36).
• Specific support for displaying the HTTP response body if available in Eve entries. Requires Suricata 4.0.0-rc1 or newer (https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/issues/40)

Fixed

• Fix an issue where alerts may not be archived if their @timestamp and timestamp fields were out of sync - https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/issues/48.
• A usability issue where the alert view would be reset to 100 items after arching event, if previously set to "all" - https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/issues/49.
• Elastic Search mapping errors on flow and netflow reports - https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/issues/39

Full Changelog

0.7.0 - 2017-04-22

Added

• Optional authentication. Authentication can now be enabled with simple usernames and passwords. GitHub can also be used for authentication using Oauth2, however, the user must first be created in EveBox.
• New command, evebox config users, to create users.
• Create and use a "configdb". This is a database separate from event databases for storing data such as users. Will contain more configuration data in the future.
• TLS support. The server can be provided with a certificate and key to enable TLS. The "gencert" subcommand has been added to help generate self signed certificates. Or, if the server is publically accessible, Letsencrypt can be used.

Breaking Changes

• RPM and Debian package installs started with systemd now run as the user evebox. This really only matters if using an SQLite database, and the database file will need to have its permissions updated so the evebox user will have read and write access to it.
• All binary builds are now linked with SQLite as SQLite is used for the configuration database. This really only matters when trying to cross compile EveBox, which may or may not work going forward.

Full Changelog

• Upgrade to Angular 4 and Angular CLI 1.0 and use its AOT compilation feature reducing the Javascript size even further. Combined with response compression, initial data loaded by the browser is about 7-8x less.
• Compress HTTP responses speeding up initial load times.
• New "oneshot" mode - a mode where EveBox directly reads in an eve.log file into an SQLite database for one time viewing, then cleans up after itself.
• The EveBox server can now process an eve file without an agent (basically an embedded agent), storing the events in Elastic Search or SQLite
• When using Elastic Search 5.2+, use the update_by_query API to archive and escalate events. This should speed up archiving.
• Fix Elastic Search keyword handling when Filebeat is used to send eve logs directly to Elastic Search.
• Reports:
  • In addition to the event views, there are now some report views.
• EveBox Agent:
  • The EveBox agent is a replacement for Filebeat and/or Logstash. It can read Suricata eve log files sending them to the EveBox server which will then store them to the configured data store (Elastic Search or SQLite).
• SQLite Support:
  • SQLite can now be used as a backend. This is suitable for smaller installations where event load is light.
  • Reports are currently not supported with SQLite.
• If the agent is being used to submit events and the datastore is Elastic Search, create a template if one doesn't already index for the configured index. For Elastic Search 2.x and Logstash 2 template is used, for Elastic Search 5.x and Logstash 5 template is used.
• A start on some documentation: http://evebox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html
