Has anyone figured out a way to create resource groups based on pod labels?

I’m trying to create container resource groups based on pod labels, but these do not seem to be available.In specific I want to be able to create resource groups and queries based on the output of: kubectl get pod my_pod -n my_namespace -o=jsonpath='{.metadata.labels}'Below is an example of what I would like to do in query terms:filter { containers.PROPS_LABELS["my_pod_label_key"] = "my_pod_label_value" }(this won’t actually work afaik, just an illustration of what I’m after)Seems like a rather obvious thing to be able to do. Wondering is there is an apparent trick I’m missing.AgentN/APlatformTuning Lacework/CustomizationCloudN/A

Getting Started with LQL (Lacework Query Language): LQL Overview (Documentation Highlights)

LQL Overviewhttps://docs.lacework.net/lql/restricted/lql-overviewThe Lacework Query Language (LQL) is an SQL-like query language for specifying the selection, filtering, and manipulation of data. Queries let you interactively request information from curated datasources. Queries have a defined structure for authoring detections.LQL enables you to find non-compliant resources or suspicious activity by querying data ingested from cloud providers, Kubernetes, CloudTrail activity logs, and the Lacework agent. Then you can associate queries with policies, which contain rich reporting metadata. LQL Operatorshttps://docs.lacework.net/lql/restricted/lql-operatorsLQL uses conventional SQL notation for arithmetic, comparisons, and logical operations. LQL Functionshttps://docs.lacework.net/lql/restricted/lql-functionsThis topic lists all Lacework Query Language functions alphabetically. Datasource Metadatahttps://docs.lacework.net/lql/restricted/datasource-metadataThis topic lists the datasources

New Google Cloud Pub/Sub Audit Log Integration!

We’re very excited to announce a new Pub/Sub-based integration to collect Google Cloud Audit Logs! This new integration unlocks a ton of new capabilities, including:Low-latency alerting, as events are delivered from Google Cloud much more quickly Composite alerts based on Google Cloud Audit Log events Custom LQL policies based on Google Cloud Audit Log eventsThis integration is currently in Public Preview as we monitor performance and collect customer feedback.If you are integrating Lacework with Google Cloud for the first time, then please reach out to me (spencer.engleson@lacework.net) to get the Pub/Sub integration enabled.If you have already integrated Lacework with Google Cloud, then you may need to migrate from the Storage-based integration to the new Pub/Sub architecture. See our product documentation for more information:Migrate using Terraform Migrate manuallyPlease comment here or reach out to me directly with questions and feedback.

How can I identify and list all security groups associated with ECS fargate tasks?

In AWS all ECS fargate tasks run in the “awsvpc” networking mode which means that each task gets its own Elastic Network Interface (ENI). Since each task gets an ENI, this means that a security group must also be attached to the task and we can search for this security group id using LQL. The query below will filter for any network interface that is associated to an ECS task and will return the security group associated to that ENI. queryId: LWCustomCompliance_ECS_fargate_security_groupsqueryText: |- { source { LW_CFG_AWS_EC2_NETWORK_INTERFACES as interface, array_to_rows(interface.RESOURCE_CONFIG:Groups) as groups } filter{ RESOURCE_ID::String in { source { LW_CFG_AWS_ECS_DESCRIBE_TASKS as task, array_to_rows(task.RESOURCE_CONFIG:attachments) as attachments, array_to_rows(attachments:details) as details } filter { details:value::String like any("eni-%") } return {

How to set up the Lacework Proxy Scanner to integrate with a Sonatype Nexus Registry with multiple repositories?

Instructions for how to create a proxy scanner integration can be found in the following documentation. However, it is important to note that the example config.yml provided in the "Configure the Proxy Scanner" section is intended for a connection to a single Nexus repository with one domain/port. If there is a need to have the proxy scanner to scan multiple repositories, the config.yml file for the proxy scanner needs to have multiple registry domains, one for each repository since in Nexus, repositories are configured and run on separate ports. An example of a proxy scanner config.yaml file for multiple repositories can be found below. scan_public_registries: falsestatic_cache_location: /opt/lacework/cachedefault_registry:lacework: account_name: lacework-account integration_access_token: ****registries: - domain: NEXUS-FQDN:<port> name: NEXUS1 ssl: true is_public: false credentials: user_name: "userinregistry" password: "*****" notification_type:

How can I pull Kubernetes Compliance report data via the Lacework API?

The following Lacework API endpoint, “/api/v2/Configs/ComplianceEvaluations/search”, will enable you to export Kubernetes Compliance report data in json format. Below is an example using this endpoint to pull all Kubernetes Compliance data for a set timeframe. When using this endpoint, ensure that the payload has dataset set to “K8sCompliance” to filter out any CSP compliance data.lacework api post "/api/v2/Configs/ComplianceEvaluations/search" -d '{ "timeFilter": { "startTime": "2024-03-12T20:30:00Z", "endTime": "2024-03-13T22:30:00Z"},"dataset": "K8sCompliance" }'The output of this command will be a json array of objects detailing all the Kubernetes Compliance Violations with each object looking similar to the example below:{ "account": { "AccountId": "XXXXXXXXXXXX", "accountId": "XXXXXXXXXXXX" }, "evalType": "LW_K8S_SA", "id": "lacework-global-315", "reason": "EKS cluster does not have all logging categories enabled", "recommendation":

When investigating an identity in the identities dossier, how can I determine what AWS IAM policy a specific permission is a part of in AWS?

When reviewing an identity in the identity explorer, it is possible to export all entitlements tied to the identity being reviewed. From this export additional fields can be seen one of which is the policy that each action is a part of along with the role/user it is attached to. To export an entitlements list as a CSV follow the below steps:Navigate to Identities > Explore: Identities, select the identity that you want to investigate. Select the Entitlements tab to display all the entitlements that identity has and select the service you want to export. Once the service is selected, click the download icon to download the csv export which includes the policy name in column F. Example CSV Output: Principal ID Account ID Account Alias Service name Resource Policy name Updated time Actions Used Last Used Revoked Condition arn:aws:iam::XXXXXXXXXXXX:root XXXXXXXXXXXX

Using Terraform to Integrate with Lacework in AWS Organization

There are several ways to integrate Lacework with accounts in an AWS Organization. Lacework provides multiple Terraform modules for this purpose. In this post, we will focus on the aws_org_configuration module. Integration:The aws_org_configuration module offers seamless automation for integrating Lacework with AWS Configuration and CloudTrail. It simplifies the process by automatically configuring integration across the root account and all associated sub-accounts within the specified organizational unit (OU). Additionally, it creates an SNS topic and Lambda function, ensuring that any new AWS accounts added to the organization are seamlessly integrated with Lacework. The module will perform the following tasks:Create the CloudTrail integration at the root account level. Create AWS Configuration integration for each of the sub-accounts. Note that this is not the same as the AWS Config service. Lacework does not rely on the native AWS Config service.For Lacework to access configuration

How to identify Internet accessible nodes and container pods ( inbound from internet)?

Hi,Looking for some advice.Basically with-in lacework kubernetes , looking to see which pods & nodes are accessible from internet ( inbound from internet). What i found so far is we can use Resources → Kubernetes → Pod Network → External connections . You can select all columns and download a CSV. There is a similar view for actual nodes as well. Node→ Kubernetes → Node Network → Node External Connections I am not 100% sure if this is accurate. Also this does not tell what ports are open for inbound connections ( some of the ports listed are >65k which seems to be odd as well)Wondering if anyone had figured out the correct way to “Identify Internet accessible nodes and container pods ( inbound from internet)?”.
