NSX-alert-Dashboard is used for VMware NSX microsegmentation projects to help handling the massive amount of traffic and add the rules accordingly.

Installation

1. Create virtual machine or docker lamp image (Could be like: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/install-apache-with-php-and-mysql-on-ubuntu-18-04-lamp/)
2. GIT clone to the desired directory, may be /var/www/ or /var/www/html/ (git clone https://github.com/sorenisager/nsx-alert-dashboard)
3. Change the config file with your desired settings
4. Import SQL file into MariaDB/MySQL database to get it to work
5. Test if it works, if not - check errors or let me help you.
6. Setup cronjob against http://sitename/alerthandler.php ex. every minute
7. Add entries in the ReverseLookup file, so you can resolve the IP's in the log into servernames.

For the NSX to send logs, please take a look at my blog on how to Microsegmentate.

ReverseLookup

Gives the Option in the config file to reverse lookup ips into hostnames in the Alerthandler function. Loginsight is not sending the servernames in the logs. This helps us understand which system is affected at the alertdashboard directly.

Its a JSON file ex: "10.10.100.85": "dhcp-server"

Security

There is no page security at the moment added to the code, you may need to use .htaccess or other type of security to prevent others from seeing the applicationdata.
