Understanding Legacy Data Structures

This appendix contains information about data structures supported by eStreamer at previous versions of Secure Firewall System products.

If your client uses event stream requests with bits set to request data in older version formats, you can use the information in this appendix to identify the data structures of the data messages you receive.

Note that prior to version 5.0, separate detection engines were assigned IDs. For version 5.0, devices are assigned IDs. Based on the version, data structures reflect this.

Noteblank.gif This appendix describes only data structures from version 4.9 or later of the Secure Firewall System. If you require documentation for structures from earlier data structure versions, contact Cisco Customer Support.


See the following sections for more information:

Legacy Intrusion Data Structures

Intrusion Event (IPv4) Record 5.0.x - 5.1

The fields in the intrusion event (IPv4) record are shaded in the following graphic. The record type is 207.

You request intrusion event records by setting the intrusion event flag or the extended requests flag in the request message. See Request Flags and Submitting Extended Requests.

For version 5.0.x - 5.1 intrusion events, the event ID, the managed device ID, and the event second form a unique identifier.

Intrusion Impact Alert Data

The Intrusion Impact Alert event contains information about impact events. It is transmitted when an intrusion event is compared to the system network map data and the impact is determined. It uses the standard record header with a record type of 9, followed by an Intrusion Impact Alert data block with a data block type of 20 in the series 1 group of blocks. (The Impact Alert data block is a type of series 1 data block. For more information about series 1 data blocks, see Understanding Discovery (Series 1) Blocks.)

You can request that eStreamer only transmit intrusion impact events by setting bit 5 in the Flags field of the request message. See Event Stream Request Message Format for more information about request messages. Version 1 of these alerts only handles IPv4. Version 2, introduced in 5.3, handles IPv6 events in addition to IPv4.

Intrusion Event Extra Data Record

The eStreamer service transmits the event extra data associated with an intrusion event in the Intrusion Event Extra Data record. The record type is always 110.

This record is deprecated in version 7.1. While it can still be requested no records will be generated.

The event extra data appears in an encapsulated Event Extra Data data block, which always has a data block type value of 4. (The Event Extra Data data block is a series 2 data block. For more information about series 2 data blocks, see Understanding Series 2 Data Blocks.)

The supported types of extra data include IPv6 source and destination addresses, as well as the originating IP addresses (v4 or v6) of clients connecting to a web server through an HTTP proxy or load balancer. The graphic below shows the format of the Intrusion Event Extra Data record.

If bit 27 is set in the Request Flags field of the request message, you receive the event extra data for each intrusion event. If you set bit 20, you also receive the event extra data metadata described in Intrusion Event Extra Data Metadata. If you enable bit 23, eStreamer will include the extended event header. See Request Flags for information on setting request flags.

Malware Event Data Block 5.4.x

The eStreamer service uses the malware event data block to store information on malware events. These events contain information on malware detected or quarantined within a cloud, the detection method, and hosts and users affected by the malware. The malware event data block has a block type of 47 in the series 2 group of blocks. It supersedes block 44 and is superseded by block. Fields for SSL and file archive support have been added.

You request the event as part of the malware event record by setting the malware event flag—bit 30 in the request flags field—in the request message with an event version of 6 and an event code of 101.

Legacy Discovery Data Structures

Legacy Discovery Event Header

Discovery Event Header 5.0 - 5.1.1.x

Discovery and connection event messages contain a discovery event header. It conveys the type and subtype of the event, the time the event occurred, the device on which the event occurred, and the structure of the event data in the message. This header is followed by the actual host discovery, user, or connection event data. The structures associated with the different event type/subtype values are described in Host Discovery Structures by Event Type.

The event type and event subtype fields of the discovery event header identify the structure of the transmitted event message. Once the structure of the event data block is determined, your program can parse the message appropriately.

The shaded rows in the following diagram illustrate the format of the discovery event header.

The connection statistics data block is used in connection data messages. Several new fields have been added to the Connection Statistics Data Block for 5.4. Fields have been added to support SSL connections, HTTP redirection, and network analysis policies. The connection statistics data block for version 5.4+ has a block type of 157 in the series 1 group of blocks. It deprecates block type 155, Connection Statistics Data Block 5.3.1.

You request connection event records by setting the extended event flag—bit 30 in the Request Flags field—in the request message with an event version of 12 and an event code of 71. See Request Flags. If you enable bit 23, an extended event header is included in the record.

For more information on the Connection Statistics Data message, see Connection Statistics Data Message.

Connection Statistics Data Block 6.0.x

The connection statistics data block is used in connection data messages. Several new fields have been added to the Connection Statistics Data Block for 6.0. Fields have been added to support ISE Integration and Multiple Network Maps. The connection statistics data block for version 6.0.x has a block type of 160 in the series 1 group of blocks. It supersedes block type 157, Connection Statistics Data Block 5.4.1. New fields have been added to support DNS lookup and Security Intelligence.

You request connection event records by setting the extended event flag—bit 30 in the Request Flags field—in the request message with an event version of 13 and an event code of 71. See Request Flags. If you enable bit 23, an extended event header is included in the record.

Legacy Correlation Event Data Structures

The following topics describe other legacy correlation (compliance) data structures:

Correlation Event for 5.0 - 5.0.2

Correlation events (called compliance events in pre-5.0 versions) contain information about correlation policy violations. This message uses the standard eStreamer message header and specifies a record type of 112, followed by a correlation data block of type 116. Data block type 116 differs from its predecessor (block type 107) in including additional information about the associated security zone and interface.

You can request 5.0 correlation events from eStreamer only by extended request, for which you request event type code 31 and version code 7 in the Stream Request message (see Submitting Extended Requests for information about submitting extended requests). You can optionally enable bit 23 in the flags field of the initial event stream request message, to include the extended event header. You can also enable bit 20 in the flags field to include user metadata.

Note that the record structure includes a String block type, which is a block in series 1. For information about series 1 blocks, see Understanding Discovery (Series 1) Blocks.

You can request 5.1-5.3.x correlation events from eStreamer only by extended request, for which you request event type code 31 and version code 8 in the Stream Request message (see Submitting Extended Requests for information about submitting extended requests). You can optionally enable bit 23 in the flags field of the initial event stream request message, to include the extended event header. You can also enable bit 20 in the flags field to include user metadata.
