Article summary

Output events and detections to a Google Cloud BigQuery Table.

For a practical use case of this output, see this tutorial on pushing Velociraptor data to BigQuery.

  • schema: describes the column names, data types, and other information; should match the text-formatted schema from bigquery
  • table: the table name where to send data.
  • dataset: the dataset name where to send data.
  • project: the project name where to send the data.
  • secret_key: the secret json key identifying a service account.
  • sec_per_file: the number of seconds after which a batch of data is loaded.
  • custom_transform: should align with the schema fields/formats

Example:

schema: event_type:STRING, oid:STRING, sid:STRING
table: alerts
dataset: limacharlie_data
project: lc-example-analytics
secret_key: {
  "type": "service_account",
  "project_id": "my-lc-data",
  "private_key_id": "11b6f4173dedabcdefb779e4afae6d88ddce3cc1",
  "private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n.....\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n",
  "client_email": "my-service-writer@my-lc-data.iam.gserviceaccount.com",
  "client_id": "102526666608388828174",
  "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
  "token_uri": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",

  "client_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/robot/v1/metadata/x509/my-service-writer%40my-lc-data.iam.gserviceaccount.com"
}

    "event_type":"routing.event_type"
  }
