Juniper Secure Analytics (JSA) is a security information and event management (SIEM) system that consolidates, analyzes, and manages surveillance data from network devices, endpoints, and applications. JSA uses two types of data collectors: Event Collector and Flow Collector1

The Event Collector collects and parses logs from various log sources, such as firewalls, routers, servers, and intrusion detection or prevention systems. The Event Collector normalizes the log data into a common format and sends it to the JSA console for further analysis and correlation. The Event Collector supports different protocols for log collection, such as syslog, SNMP, JDBC, and SDEE12

The Flow Collector collects and processes network traffic data from various flow sources, such as Flowlog files, NetFlow, J-Flow, sFlow, and Packeteer. The Flow Collector enriches the flow data with additional information, such as application identification, geolocation, and threat intelligence. The Flow Collector sends the flow data to the JSA console for further analysis and correlation. The Flow Collector can use statistical sampling to reduce the amount of flow data that is collected and processed, which can improve the performance and scalability of the system12

The Event Collector does not collect information using BGP FlowSpec, which is a protocol that allows the distribution of traffic flow specification rules among BGP peers. BGP FlowSpec is not a supported flow source for JSA3

The Flow Collector does not parse logs, which are textual records of network activity generated by log sources. The Flow Collector only handles flow data, which are binary records of network traffic generated by flow sources12

[SRX] Behavior of active sessions when modifying a security policy1

 The policy rematch feature enables the device to reevaluate an active session when its associated security policy is modified. The session remains open if it still matches the policy that allowed the session initially. The session is closed if its associated policy is renamed, deactivated, or deleted1

When a policy change includes changing the policy’s action from permit to deny, all existing sessions are dropped. This is because the policy rematch feature does not allow a session to continue if it violates the new policy action1

When a policy change includes changing the policy’s source or destination address match condition, all existing sessions are reevaluated. This is because the policy rematch feature tries to find a suitable policy that can still permit the session based on the new address criteria. If no such policy exists, the session is dropped12

The fab interface is a physical connection between two nodes of a chassis cluster that is used to forward traffic and synchronize session state between the nodes. The fab interface can be any pair of Ethernet interfaces on the same LAN, but they must be the same media type. You need to specify the physical interfaces to be used for the fab link in the configuration, as the system does not determine them automatically. The Junos OS supports only one fab link per node, and it does not support traditional interface features such as IP addressing, routing protocols, or firewall filters. The fab interface is assigned an internally derived IP address by the system for packet transmission. Thefab link also does not support fragmentation, so the MTU size of the fab interface must be equal to or greater than the MTU size of the largest interface in the cluster. References:

Cluster failovers occur when one node in a chassis cluster becomes inactive or unreachable, and the other node takes over the processing of traffic and services. To control when cluster failovers occur, you can configure two specific parameters on an SRX Series device: heartbeat-interval and heartbeat-threshold12.

Heartbeat-interval is the time interval, in milliseconds, between heartbeat messages sent by each node to the other node. The default value is 1000 ms. You can configure the heartbeat-interval value from 100 through 3000 ms1.

Heartbeat-threshold is the number of consecutive heartbeat messages that can be missed before a node is considered to be down. The default value is 3. You can configure the heartbeat-threshold value from 2 through 2551.

The combination of heartbeat-interval and heartbeat-threshold determines the failover time, which is the maximum time it takes for a node to detect the failure of the other node and initiate a failover. The failover time is calculated as follows: failover time = heartbeat-interval x heartbeat-threshold1.

For example, if the heartbeat-interval is 1000 ms and the heartbeat-threshold is 3, the failover time is 3000 ms. This means that if a node does not receive three consecutive heartbeat messages from the other node within 3000 ms, it will assume that the other node is down and initiate a failover1.

You can configure the heartbeat-interval and heartbeat-threshold parameters using the set chassis cluster redundancy-group group-id node node-id priority priority heartbeat-interval interval heartbeat-threshold threshold command1.

References: SSL Proxy Overview Configuring Certificate Authority Profiles Configuring a Root CA Certificate

= SSL proxy server protection is a type of reverse proxy that enables the SRX Series device to act as an intermediary between external clients and internal servers that use SSL encryption. SSL proxy server protection provides benefits such as load balancing, caching, compression, encryption, authentication, and application firewalling. To enable SSL proxy server protection, you do not need to configure the servers to use the SSL proxy function on the SRX Series device. The SRX Series device will terminate the SSL connection from the client and initiate a new SSL connection to the server, without requiring any changes on the server side. However, you must load the server certificates on the SRX Series device, so that the SRX Series device can present the server certificate to the client and establish a secure connection. You must also import the root CA on the servers, so that the servers can trust the SRX Series device as a valid intermediary and accept the connection from the SRX Series device. References: SSL Proxy, Configuring SSL Proxy, JNCIP-SEC Certification

 This is because the error message indicates that the client device does not trust the certificate authority that issued the certificate for the external server. Therefore, you need to import the root CA certificate from the SRX Series device to the client device and add it to the trusted certificate store. This will allow the client device to verify the identity of the SRX Series device and accept the certificates it generates for the external servers3.

The other options are not correct because:

A. Load a known good, but expired. CA certificate onto the SRX Series device. This will not solve the problem because the client device will still reject the certificates from the SRX Series device if they are signed by an expired CA certificate. The expiration date of the CA certificate is one of the factors that the client device checks when validating the certificate2.

B. Install a new SRX Series device to act as the client proxy. This will not solve the problem because the new SRX Series device will still need to have a root CA certificate configured and imported to the client devices. The problem is not with the SRX Series device itself, but with the trust relationship between the SRX Series device and the client devices2.

C. Reboot the SRX Series device. This will not solve the problem because rebooting the SRX Series device will not change the configuration or the certificates on the SRX Series device or the client devices. The problem is not caused by a temporary glitch or a malfunction, but by a mismatch between the certificates on the SRX Series device and the client devices2.

I hope this helps you understand the problem and the solution better. If you want to learn more about SSL client protection proxy, you can check out the following references:

JIMS uses eventlogs on Domain contollers or Exchange Servers to determine logon events. So to decrease the load on a Domain Controller you could use the Exchange Server to read logs.
