Cbox SIEM for Laravel

The SIEM log-streaming delivery engine for Laravel: a durable transactional outbox, queued batched delivery with retry, dead-letter, and a per-stream circuit breaker, SSRF-guarded HTTP egress, encrypted destination secrets, and per-field PII redaction — shipping normalized security events to Splunk HEC, Elastic (ECS), Graylog (GELF), ArcSight/syslog (CEF), or any HTTP JSON collector.

This package is the Laravel wrapper over the framework-agnostic cboxdk/siem core. The core owns the event model and the formatters (the shape of the data); this package owns delivery (the network, the durability, the secrets). An audit binding in cboxdk/laravel-id consumes this layer to stream a tamper-evident audit trail — that binding is a separate package.

Installation

composer require cboxdk/laravel-siem

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="siem-migrations"
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="siem-config"   # optional
php artisan migrate

The service provider is auto-discovered. Destination secrets use Laravel's encrypter, so an APP_KEY is required (every Laravel app has one).

At a glance

use Cbox\LaravelSiem\Contracts\{LogStreams, StreamDispatcher};
use Cbox\LaravelSiem\Enums\Destination;
use Cbox\Siem\ValueObjects\SiemEvent;

// 1. Register a destination (endpoint SSRF-checked; secret encrypted, revealed once).
app(LogStreams::class)->create(
    name: 'splunk-prod',
    destination: Destination::SplunkHec,
    endpointUrl: 'https://http-inputs.example.splunkcloud.com',
    secret: 'your-hec-token',
    redaction: ['password' => 'drop', 'email' => 'hash'],
);

// 2. In your own DB transaction, write the event to the outbox (a cheap insert).
DB::transaction(function () use ($event) {
    // ... your business write ...
    app(StreamDispatcher::class)->dispatch($event, app(LogStreams::class)->enabled());
});

// 3. The queued pump batches, redacts, formats, and ships it — off the request thread.

What it guarantees

• Deny-by-default — no enabled stream, nothing delivered.
• At-least-once, unordered — the outbox row commits in your transaction; a rolled-back caller leaves no orphan. Duplicates are possible; dedup by event id.
• Never blocks the request — all delivery is queued.
• Bounded everything — triple-bounded batches (records/bytes/age), bounded exponential backoff with jitter, a hard retry cap into a dead-letter, a bounded outbox with an explicit backpressure policy, and a per-stream circuit breaker.
• Safe egress — SSRF-guarded and DNS-pinned, TLS verification always on, secrets encrypted at rest and scrubbed from logs, PII redacted before formatting.

Destinations

Testing

Compose Cbox\LaravelSiem\Testing\InteractsWithLogStreams into your TestCase to run the whole pipeline in memory: fakeStreamSink() binds an in-memory FakeStreamSink, createLogStream(...) registers through the real registry, and pumpStream($id) runs a delivery cycle synchronously. FakeHttpTransport programs the HTTP fake for testing the real HttpStreamSink.

Requirements

• PHP 8.4+
• Laravel 12.x or 13.x
• A queue connection, a database, and an APP_KEY.

The event core

The normalized SiemEvent, the formatters, and their escaping/threat model are provided by cboxdk/siem. This package claims only the Laravel delivery layer.
