Minemeld installation, Part 1

Palo Alto Networks has provided a tool for public use - Minemeld - that will collate threat intelligence feeds and other indicators for a more dynamic security policy enforcement strategy with their firewalls:
https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/products/secure-the-network/subscriptions/minemeld

I have a slightly different use case - I want my lab firewall to be aware of each virtual machine in my lab, and to be able to use it intelligently. Some of this is available via the “VM Information Sources” (more information here) feature, but it doesn’t appear to be aware of details like NSX-T security groups, etc. My goal will be to implement these features using Minemeld, with some future uses on the horizon as well.

Getting Started

First I browse to https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/MineMeld/ct-p/MineMeld to download any requisite packages.

Just a note - the provided OVA is based off Ubuntu 14.04 - a pretty old release. Performing a deeper search, I discovered that an ansible playbook is provided for install on recommended systems!
https://github.com/PaloAltoNetworks/minemeld-ansible

I’m going to install this on my ansible host - running openSUSE Tumbleweed:

admin@ansible:~> sudo zypper in wget git gcc python-devel libffi-devel openssl-devel

Looks like this conflicts with Ruby somewhat - a non-issue for me. Time to run pip and install ansible:

And it seems the pip install step is not necessary, as openSUSE handles this through the package manager. We’re going to need to go a bit off-script here:

Looks like we need to find out where in the playbook with_first_found is defined.

admin@ansible:~/minemeld-ansible> grep first_found */*/*/*  
roles/infrastructure/tasks/main.yml:  with_first_found:  
roles/minemeld/tasks/main.yml:  with_first_found:

With either location, the following YAML reference is made. I’ll do some more research on what that does in another blog entry:

# from http://serverfault.com/questions/587727/how-to-unify-package-installation-tasks-in-ansible  
- include_vars: "{{ item }}"  
  with_first_found:  
    - "{{ ansible_distribution }}-{{ ansible_distribution_version }}.yml"  
    - "{{ ansible_distribution }}-{{ ansible_distribution_major_version }}.yml"  
    - "{{ ansible_distribution }}.yml"
