Configuring WatchGuard Aether ESM to Work with D3 SOAR

To obtain your API key, log in to WatchGuard and navigate to Administration > Account > Managed Access. For more information, see WatchGuard Aether API Authorization.

Configuring D3 SOAR to Work with WatchGuard Aether ESM

  1. Log in to D3 SOAR.

  2. Find the WatchGuard Aether ESM integration.

    1. Navigate to Configuration on the top header menu.

    2. Click on the Integration icon on the left sidebar.

    3. Type WatchGuard Aether ESM in the search box to find the integration, then click it to select it.

    4. Click + Connection, on the right side of the Connections section. A new connection window will appear.

  3. Configure the following fields to create a connection to WatchGuard Aether ESM.

    1. Connection Name: The desired name for the connection.

    2. Site: Specifies the site to use the integration connection. Use the drop-down menu to select the site. The Share to Internal Sites option enables all sites defined as internal sites to use the connection. Selecting a specific site will only enable that site to use the connection.

    3. Recipient site for events from connections Shared to Internal Sites: This field appears if you selected Share to Internal Sites for Site to let you select the internal site to deploy the integration connection.

    4. Agent Name (Optional): Specifies the proxy agent required to build the connection. Use the dropdown menu to select the proxy agent from a list of previously configured proxy agents.

    5. Description (Optional): Add your desired description for the connection.

    6. Configure User Permissions: Defines which users have access to the connection.

    7. Active: Check the checkbox to ensure the connection is available for use.

    8. System: This section contains the parameters defined specifically for the integration. These parameters must be configured to create the integration connection.
      1. Input your domain level Server URL. The default value is https://api.usa.cloud.watchguard.com.
      2. Input the Access ID (Read-Write). This value can be obtained from the WatchGuard platform. It is recommended to use read-write access ID, as it allows you to run all commands.
      3. Input your account Password.
      4. Input your API Key.
      5. Input your Account ID. This parameter is not mandatory to establish a connection, but it must be defined to execute commands.
      6. (Optional) Input your Managed Account.
      7. Input the API Version. The default value is v1. Currently, D3 SOAR supports v1 of WatchGuards API, which allows you to run all commands.

    9. Connection Health Check: Updates the connection status you have created. A connection health check is done by scheduling the Test Connection command of this integration. This can only be done when the connection is active.
      To set up a connection health check, check the Connection Health Check tick box. You can customize the interval (minutes) for scheduling the health check. An email notification can be set up after a specified number of failed connection attempts.

    10. Enable Password Vault: An optional feature that allows users to take the stored credentials from their own password vault. Please refer to the password vault connection guide if needed.

  4. Test the connection.

    1. Click Test Connection to verify the account credentials and network connection. If the Test Connection Passed alert window appears, the test connection is successful. You will see Passed with a green checkmark appear beside the Test Connection button. If the test connection fails, please check your connection parameters and try again.

    2. Click OK to close the alert window.

    3. Click Add to create and add the configured connection.

Key Fields

Common cyber security indicators such as unique IDs, file hash values, CVE numbers, IP addresses, etc., will be extracted from Raw Data as Key Fields.

The system stores these key fields in the path $.[playbookTask].outputData. You can use these key-value pairs as data points for playbook task inputs.

}
Return Data

Indicates one of the possible command execution states: Successful, Partially Successful, or Failed.

The Partially Successful state only occurs when a command’s input accepts an array of items (e.g. an array of IP addresses) and one or more items within the array return an error from the API request.

The Failed state can be triggered by any of the following errors:

  • A connection issue with the integration

  • The API returned an error message

  • No response from the API

You can view more details about an error in the Error tab.

Return Data can be passed down directly to a subsequent command or used to create conditional tasks in playbooks.

Error Handling

If the Return Data is Partially Successful or Failed, an Error tab will appear in the Test Result window.

The error tab contains the details responded from D3 SOAR or third-party API calls, including Failure Indicator, Status Code, and Message. This can help you locate the root cause of a command failure.

Description

Example

Failure Indicator

Indicates the command failure that happened at a specific input and/or API call.

Retrieve Security Events failed.

Status Code

The response code issued by the third-party API server or the D3 SOAR system that can be used to locate the corresponding error category. For example, if the returned status code is 401, the selected connection is unauthorized to run the command. The user or system support would need to check the permission setting in the WatchGuard Aether ESM portal. Refer to the HTTP Status Code Registry for details.

Status Code: 400.

Message

The raw data or captured key error message from the integration API server about the API request failure.

Message: Invalid Event Type.

Retrieve Security Events failed.

Status Code: 400.

Message: Invalid Event Type.

Scan Devices

Starts a task to scan the specified devices immediately.

False

Detect Suspicious Files

Optional

The option to enable suspicious file detection for the scan. During scheduled scans, the tool will scan the computer's software without executing it. Some threats may have a lower chance of detection. Setting this parameter to True will enable the scan to use heuristic algorithms to improve detection rates. If this parameter is not defined, the default value is False.

True

Scan Compressed Files

Optional

The option to scan compressed files. When enabled, compressed files will be decompressed and their contents will be scanned. If this parameter is not defined, the default value is False.

True
