The Iru integration v0.1.0 is in technical preview

To use pre-release integrations, go to the Integrations page in Kibana, scroll down, and toggle on the Display beta integrations option.

The Iru integration for Elastic collects console audit events and managed-device inventory from Iru Endpoint Management (formerly Kandji) via the Iru REST API.

This integration is compatible with Iru Endpoint Management API v1.

This integration periodically queries the Iru Endpoint Management REST API using a tenant Bearer token.

The Iru integration collects log messages of the following types:

  • Audit: Tenant Activity events (blueprint and configuration changes, library item edits, API token administration, and other console actions).
  • Device: Managed device inventory for Entity Analytics (platform, model, OS version, enrollment and agent status, last check-in, assigned user, blueprint, and tags).

Use audit events to monitor who changed device-management configuration, who managed API tokens, and how enrollment changed over time. Use device inventory to join Iru hosts with the same devices and users seen in other data sources, and to find stale or non-reporting devices.

You need an Iru Endpoint tenant with API access (Account Owner or Administrator). API access may need to be enabled by an Iru Customer Success Manager.

Create a dedicated API token in Account Menu → Access → API tokens and grant only:

  • Devices: Device Information: Device list
  • Audit Logs: List Audit Events
  • Admins: List Tenant Admins

Copy Your organization's API URL from the same page.

  1. Sign in as Account Owner or Administrator.
  2. Open Account Menu → Access → API tokens.
  3. Note Your organization's API URL.
  4. Click Add Token, enter a name and description, and click Create.
  5. Copy the token immediately. It is shown only once.
  6. Configure permissions: enable Device list, List Audit Events, and List Tenant Admins. Do not grant lock, erase, or secrets permissions.
  7. Click Save.
  1. In Kibana, go to Management > Integrations.
  2. Search for Iru.
  3. Click Add Iru.
  4. Enter the API URL (https:// plus the hostname from Access).
  5. Enter the API token.
  6. Enable the Audit and/or Device data streams and set their intervals.
  7. Click Save and continue.
  1. In Iru, confirm the token has Device list, List Audit Events, and List Tenant Admins permissions and that the tenant has recent Activity and enrolled devices.
  2. In Kibana Discover, search data_stream.dataset: "iru.audit" and data_stream.dataset: "iru.device".
  • 401 Unauthorized: The token is incorrect, was revoked, or all permissions were removed. Create a new token in Access.
  • Permission denied (You do not have permission to perform this action.): Enable Device list and List Audit Events on the token.
  • API rate limit exceeded: The tenant shares a 10,000 requests per hour cap across all tokens. Increase the device interval (default 1h) and keep page sizes at the API maxima.
  • No audit events: Confirm Activity exists in the Iru console for the lookback window (Initial Interval).
  • No devices: Confirm the tenant has enrolled devices and the token includes Device list.

The Iru API allows 10,000 requests per hour per tenant, shared by every token. Prefer the default device page size of 300 and an interval of at least one hour. Do not enable per-device detail calls; the list endpoint is sufficient for inventory.

For more information on architectures that can be used for scaling this integration, check the Ingest Architectures documentation.

These inputs can be used with this integration:

cel

For more details about the CEL input settings, check the Filebeat documentation.

Before configuring the CEL input, make sure you have:

  • Network connectivity to the target API endpoint
  • Valid authentication credentials (API keys, tokens, or certificates as required)
  • Appropriate permissions to read from the target data source

To configure the CEL input, you must specify the request.url value pointing to the API endpoint. The interval parameter controls how frequently requests are made and is the primary way to balance data freshness with API rate limits and costs. Authentication is often configured through the request.headers section using the appropriate method for the service.

Note

To access the API service, make sure you have the necessary API credentials and that the Filebeat instance can reach the endpoint URL. Some services may require IP whitelisting or VPN access.

To collect logs via API endpoint, configure the following parameters:

  • API Endpoint URL
  • API credentials (tokens, keys, or username/password)
  • Request interval (how often to fetch data)

These APIs are used with this integration:

The audit data stream collects tenant Activity events from GET /api/v1/audit/events.

The device data stream collects managed device inventory from GET /api/v1/devices.

Exported fields
Field Description Type
@timestamp Event timestamp. date
data_stream.dataset Data stream dataset. constant_keyword
data_stream.namespace Data stream namespace. constant_keyword
data_stream.type Data stream type. constant_keyword
device.serial_number The unique serial number serves as a distinct identifier for each device, aiding in inventory management and device authentication. keyword
ecs.version ECS version this event conforms to. ecs.version is a required field and must exist in all events. When querying across multiple indices -- which may conform to slightly different ECS versions -- this field lets integrations adjust to the schema version of the events. keyword
entity.id A unique identifier for the entity. When multiple identifiers exist, this should be the most stable and commonly used identifier that: 1) persists across the entity's lifecycle, 2) ensures uniqueness within its scope, 3) is commonly used for queries and correlation, and 4) is readily available in most observations (logs/events). For entities with dedicated field sets (for example, host, user), this value should match the corresponding *.id field. Alternative identifiers (for example, ARNs values in AWS, URLs) can be preserved in the raw field. keyword
entity.last_seen_timestamp Indicates the date/time when this entity was last "seen," usually based upon the last event/log that is initiated by this entity. date
entity.name The name of the entity. The keyword field enables exact matches for filtering and aggregations, while the text field enables full-text search. For entities with dedicated field sets (for example, host), this field should mirrors the corresponding *.name value. keyword
entity.name.text Multi-field of entity.name. match_only_text
entity.source The module or integration that provided this entity data (similar to event.module). keyword
entity.type A standardized high-level classification of the entity. This provides a normalized way to group similar entities across different providers or systems. Example values: bucket, database, container, function, queue, host, user, application, session, cloud, orchestrator, etc. If an entity is nested under a top-level namespace like host or cloud, or similar, its type array should include the matching value — for example, host or cloud. keyword
error.message Error message. match_only_text
event.category This is one of four ECS Categorization Fields, and indicates the second level in the ECS category hierarchy. event.category represents the "big buckets" of ECS categories. For example, filtering on event.category:process yields all events relating to process activity. This field is closely related to event.type, which is used as a subcategory. This field is an array. This will allow proper categorization of some events that fall in multiple categories. keyword
event.dataset Event dataset. constant_keyword
event.kind This is one of four ECS Categorization Fields, and indicates the highest level in the ECS category hierarchy. event.kind gives high-level information about what type of information the event contains, without being specific to the contents of the event. For example, values of this field distinguish alert events from metric events. The value of this field can be used to inform how these kinds of events should be handled. They may warrant different retention, different access control, it may also help understand whether the data is coming in at a regular interval or not. keyword
event.module Event module. constant_keyword
event.original Raw text message of entire event. Used to demonstrate log integrity or where the full log message (before splitting it up in multiple parts) may be required, e.g. for reindex. This field is not indexed and doc_values are disabled. It cannot be searched, but it can be retrieved from _source. If users wish to override this and index this field, please see Field data types in the Elasticsearch Reference. keyword
event.type This is one of four ECS Categorization Fields, and indicates the third level in the ECS category hierarchy. event.type represents a categorization "sub-bucket" that, when used along with the event.category field values, enables filtering events down to a level appropriate for single visualization. This field is an array. This will allow proper categorization of some events that fall in multiple event types. keyword
host.hostname Hostname of the host. It normally contains what the hostname command returns on the host machine. keyword
host.id Unique host id. As hostname is not always unique, use values that are meaningful in your environment. Example: The current usage of beat.name. keyword
host.name Name of the host. It can contain what hostname returns on Unix systems, the fully qualified domain name (FQDN), or a name specified by the user. The recommended value is the lowercase FQDN of the host. keyword
host.os.platform Operating system platform (such centos, ubuntu, windows). keyword
host.os.type Use the os.type field to categorize the operating system into one of the broad commercial families. If the OS you're dealing with is not listed as an expected value, the field should not be populated. Please let us know by opening an issue with ECS, to propose its addition. keyword
host.os.version Operating system version as a raw string. keyword
input.type Type of filebeat input. keyword
iru.device.agent.installed Whether the Iru agent is installed on the device. boolean
iru.device.agent.version Installed Iru agent version. keyword
iru.device.asset_tag Asset tag assigned to the device. keyword
iru.device.blueprint.id Unique identifier of the assigned blueprint. keyword
iru.device.blueprint.name Name of the assigned blueprint. keyword
iru.device.device_id Unique identifier of the device in Iru. keyword
iru.device.first_enrollment Timestamp of the device's first enrollment. date
iru.device.is_missing Whether the device is missing or not checking in. boolean
iru.device.is_removed Whether the device has been removed from Iru. boolean
iru.device.last_check_in Timestamp of the device's last check-in. date
iru.device.last_enrollment Timestamp of the device's most recent enrollment. date
iru.device.lost_mode_status Lost Mode status reported by Iru. keyword
iru.device.mdm_enabled Whether MDM management is enabled for the device. boolean
iru.device.model Marketing model name of the device. keyword
iru.device.platform Vendor platform string (for example Mac, iPad, iPhone, Windows, or Android). keyword
iru.device.serial_number Hardware serial number of the device. keyword
iru.device.supplemental_build_version Supplemental OS build version supplied by Iru. keyword
iru.device.supplemental_os_version_extra Additional OS version metadata supplied by Iru. keyword
iru.device.tags Tag names assigned to the device. keyword
iru.device.user.active Whether the assigned directory user is active. boolean
iru.device.user.is_archived Whether the assigned directory user is archived. boolean
labels.is_transform_source Distinguishes between documents that are a source for a transform and documents that are an output of a transform, to facilitate easier filtering. constant_keyword
log.offset Log offset. long
observer.product The product name of the observer. constant_keyword
observer.vendor Vendor name of the observer. constant_keyword
related.hosts All hostnames or other host identifiers seen on your event. Example identifiers include FQDNs, domain names, workstation names, or aliases. keyword
related.user All the user names or other user identifiers seen on the event. keyword
tags List of keywords used to tag each event. keyword
user.email User email address. keyword
user.full_name User's full name, if available. keyword
user.full_name.text Multi-field of user.full_name. match_only_text
user.id Unique identifier of the user. keyword
user.name Short name or login of the user. keyword
user.name.text Multi-field of user.name. match_only_text
