PS::amqp - Bro Writer Plugin to Stream Data to an AMQP Server

Introduction

PS::amp is a plugin that provides support for writing data to an AMQP server. This plugin provides support the AMQP Protocol, specifically RabbitMQ.

Prerequisites

1. AMQPCPP - https://github.com/akalend/amqpcpp
2. RabbitMQ-C - https://github.com/alanxz/rabbitmq-c

Compilation and Installation

cd <path to>/bro_amqp_plugin
./configure --bro-dist=$PATH_TO_SRC_TREE_FOR/bro
make -j10
make install

Usage

Using PS::amqp requires instantiating a Bro Log Filter as shown below. From there, a write to the created log will cause the plugin to send the data to the AMQP server.

Note: "password" and "username" are in the appropriate order per the underlying libraries being used.

event bro_init() {
             local filter: Log::Filter = [
		$name="amqp",
		$config=table(["connstr"]  = "password:username@localhost:5672",
                  ["exchange"] = "our.direct",
                  ["queue"]    = "queue"),
		$writer=Log::WRITER_AMQP
	];

	Log::create_stream(amqp_test::LOG, [$columns=Info, $ev=log_amqp_test]);
	Log::add_filter(amqp_test::LOG, filter);
	Log::remove_filter(amqp_test::LOG, "default");
}
