Back in the days of the old bro 1.9 log formats I generated CEF logging.
Not the logging framework but it worked perfectly. Was just a bro script
output to a file.
It's another option.

If I were in your shoes and assuming it's
possible to add the sensor
ID/name to the bro logs, I would just add that one field (keeping the same
format, etc) and not rewrite everything for CEF.
Then I would press HP support to give me the encrypted bro parser (they
have given me several parsers in the past) and write a parser override to
account for the new sensor/worker field.
Sorry this doesn't answer your question directly, but maybe this route is
an option for you.

*Subject:* [Bro] Revisiting CEF formatted BRO Logs
Can someone from the community provide more information or examples of
using log writer to create CEF formatted logs for consumption with Arcsight
SIEMs?
it seems that we can not customize arcsight connectors for BRO logs
however since arcsight can accept CEF events directly I would like to
experiment with directly sending CEF formatted BRO events from the standard
log set.
Additionally I have 5 BRO sensors and would like to tag each event with
the BRO sensor's hostname before sending it to arc sight. The default logs
do not allow that modification and documentation is not the greatest. If
you want to do this in Arcsight via the connector, which is a version or
two behind, the connector will not allow the adding of the hostname.
So I have attempted to write PERL and PYTHON converters but the
performance of tailing logs and sending all events is challenging.
Also using brocut requires scripting and again not sure if I am sending
ALL log events.
In previous questions to the forum the answer was using the logging
framework however I have not seen anymore content on this subject. Thus
here is my formal request:
Can someone show how to use the logging framework to convert or have bro
output the http.log into CEF format? Also can I add custom fields such as
sensor-name and the end of the event or at the beginning near CEF:0.
