This integration is for AbuseCH logs. It includes the following datasets for retrieving indicators from the AbuseCH API:

  • url dataset: Supports URL based indicators from AbuseCH API.
  • malware dataset: Supports Malware based indicators from AbuseCH API.
  • malwarebazaar dataset: Supports indicators from the MalwareBazaar from AbuseCH.
  • threatfox dataset: Supports indicators from AbuseCH Threat Fox API.

Expiration of Indicators of Compromise (IOCs)

All AbuseCH datasets now support indicator expiration. For URL dataset, a full list of active indicators are ingested every interval. For other datasets namely Malware, MalwareBazaar, and ThreatFox, the indicators are expired after duration IOC Expiration Duration configured in the integration setting. An Elastic Transform is created for every source index to facilitate only active indicators be available to the end users. Each transform creates a destination index named logs-ti_abusech_latest.dest_* which only contains active and unexpired indicators. The indiator match rules and dashboards are updated to list only active indicators. Destinations indices are aliased to logs-ti_abusech_latest.<datastream_name>.

ILM Policy

To facilitate IOC expiration, source datastream-backed indices .ds-logs-ti_abusech.<datastream_name>-* are allowed to contain duplicates from each polling interval. ILM policy logs-ti_abusech.<datastream_name>-default_policy is added to these source indices so it doesn't lead to unbounded growth. This means data in these source indices will be deleted after 5 days from ingested date.
