The forwarder is an eStreamer client that converts eStreamer data collected from FireSIGHT into a ArcSight Common Event Format (CEF) format for input into Arcsight's ESM platform. ArcSight CEF is a syslog and text-based alternative to Arcsight's Smart Connector however it does not have support for packet payload yet. This functionality will be provided via the ESM action connector and will be made available soon as part of the HP ArcSight CEF certified connector.
Someone ran cef_agent.pl script on the Windows OS?
Has anyone encountered such a mistake?

Just a heads up. A new Firepower-eStreamer-CEF client will be available in August. Complete re-write in python. Will work with FMC version 6.x. Windows is a possibility. Would you be willing test beta?
Hi
I August - the beginning of the month or the end?
Yes of course . We need CEF client for windows.
Late August. Can't promise this date but we will make this available. Just a matter of time.

Hello Doug/team,
Can't find the newer version or a place to download it so far!
any update on the release of the eStreamer into a stable official release and if it would be TAC supported?
thanks

Doug,
What is the status on Firepower to ArcSight rewrite script?
Hi All..
Is there any update for FMC version 6.X with Arcsight?
Anyone got it working?
Thanks in advance.
Is FMC 6.x supported yet please? Specifically obtaining events from multi-domain FMC 6.X whilst maintaining separation between domains (tenants).
If your looking into FireSight 6.X integration to ArcSight, search for eStreamer eNcore. Its a python script that I was able to get working on a RHEL 7 server. The script connects to the FMC and sends the logs in CEF. I followed the operations guide pdf and was able to get the script to pull events from the FMC.
I take it that this will forward fireamp events as well?
There is a very new and much improved connector available. Please email me at dohurd@cisco.com and I will send you the code. It collects all of the 6.x event types including packet payload samples and writes them to ESM in CEF format. Eventually, this concector should be posted on Arcsight's download page but not yet.
One issue i found is that if the malware is network based the virus name "c2=" doesn't show up. It does show up for alerts that are amp for endpoint though. Meaning if you have amp for endpoints connected to your FMC.
Hello,
We have configured eStreamer on our FMC (DC 2000) which is running with 6.2.0.3 version to send log to ArcSight connectors.
On the eStreamer (FMC) we have enabled
Intrusion events
Intrusion event extra data
Malware events
But SIEM engg are not able to map the XFF field from the streams received from FMC.
Looking for help here to identify the xff field in the connector and map it. Will the FMC send the xff data with above options enabled? Or do we need to enable any other option on FMC.
Which version of connector will be able to fetch the xff data from the FMC
