logs-downloader

---

A Python script for downloading log files from Incapsula.

---

Running the script:

python LogsDownloader.py -c path_to_config_folder -l path_to_system_logs_folder -v system_logs_level

• The -c and -l and –v parameters are optional
• The default value for path_to_config_folder is /etc/incapsula/logs/config
• The default value for path_to_system_logs_folder is /var/log/incapsula/logsDownloader/
• The default value for system_logs_level is info
• The path_to_config_folder is the folder where the settings file (Settings.Config) is stored
• The path_to_system_logs_folder is the folder where the script output log file is stored (this does not refer to your Incapsula logs)
• The system_logs_level configuration parameter holds the logging level for the script output log. The supported levels are info, debug and error
• You can run LogsDownloader.py -h to get help

Preparations for using the script:

• Create a local folder for holding the script configuration, this will be referred as path_to_config_folder
• Create a subfolder named keys under the path_to_config_folder folder
• In the keys subfolder, create a subfolder with a single digit name. This digit should specify whether this is the first encryption key uploaded (1), the second (2) or so on
• Inside that folder, save the private key with the name Private.key
• For example, /etc/incapsula/logs/config/keys/1/Private.key

Dependencies:

The script has two dependencies that may require additional installation modules, according to the operating system that is used:

• M2Crypto
• loggerglue

Both of these can be downloaded using apt-get, pip or any other installer, depending on the operating system in use.

Running the script as a service on Debian systems:

• You can run the script as a service on Linux systems by using the configuration file - linux_service_configuration/incapsulaLogs.conf
• You should modify the following parameters in the configuration file according to your environment:
  1. $USER$ - The user that will execute the script
  2. $GROUP$ - The group name that will execute the script
  3. $PYTHON_SCRIPT$ - The path to the LogsDownloader.py file, followed by the parameters for execution of the script
• On your system, copy the incapsulaLogs.conf file and place it under the /etc/init/ directory
• Run sudo initctl reload-configuration
• Run sudo ln -s /etc/init/incapsulaLogs.conf /etc/init.d/incapsulaLogs
• Execute sudo service incapsulaLogs start
• You can use start/stop/status as any other Linux service
