Island reimagines what the browser can be. By taking in the needs of the enterprise, Island delivers a dramatic positive impact on every layer of cybersecurity and all other functions of IT, while improving the end-user experience and productivity. Leveraging the open-source Chromium project that all major browsers are based on, Island provides fine-grain policy control over every facet of a user’s interaction with a web application giving the enterprise limitless visibility, control, and compliance with their most critical applications. As a result, Island can serve as the platform for the future of productive and secured work.

The Island Browser integration for Elastic allows you to collect logs using Island Browser API, then visualise the data in Kibana.

The Island Browser integration is compatible with v1 version of Island Browser API.

This integration periodically queries the Island Browser API to retrieve details for devices and users, and audit events.

This integration collects log messages of the following types:

Note

Device and user data streams currently do not have an ILM policy applied. A policy will be introduced in an upcoming release. Until then, full sync will be performed, which may result in higher storage costs.

Integrating Island Browser User, Device, and Audit endpoint data with Elastic SIEM provides unified visibility into identity activity, device posture, and security events across the environment.

Dashboards track total and active users, login trends, and group distributions, alongside device insights such as active, archived, and jailbroken states, OS platform distribution, policy updates, browser update status, Windows license status, and MDM provider compliance.

Audit visualizations further enhance oversight by showing event activity over time, verdicts and reasons, top rules, users, source IPs, event types, geographic distributions, and compatibility modes. Saved searches and tables consolidate essential attributes—including verified emails, device and host IDs, IPs, MACs, users, and organizations—adding valuable investigative context. Together, these insights enable analysts to monitor user behavior, track device health, analyze audit activity, detect anomalies, and strengthen compliance, identity management, and endpoint security oversight.

This integration installs Elastic latest transforms. For more details, check the Transform setup and requirements.

To collect data through the Island Browser APIs, Admin role must be required and admin must have permission to generate and manage API keys (i.e. full admin, system admin). Authentication is handled using a API Key, which serve as the required credentials.

  1. Log in to Island Browser Management Console.
  2. From the Island Management Console, navigate to Modules > Platform Settings > System Settings > Integrations > API.
  3. Click + Create. The Create API Key drawer is displayed to assist in the key creation.
  4. Enter a Name.
  5. Select the Role that applies to this API key (i.e. Full Admin, or Read Only).
  6. Click Generate API Key.
  7. Copy the API Key to your clipboard to be used when using the API Explorer.
  8. Click Save.

For more details, check Documentation.

Note

If an API key already exists and you need to create a new one, you must first deactivate and delete the existing key by selecting Deactivate and Delete API Key.

This integration supports both Elastic Agentless-based and Agent-based installations.

Agentless integrations allow you to collect data without having to manage Elastic Agent in your cloud. They make manual agent deployment unnecessary, so you can focus on your data instead of the agent that collects it. For more information, refer to Agentless integrations and the Agentless integrations FAQ.

Agentless deployments are only supported in Elastic Serverless and Elastic Cloud environments. This functionality is in beta and is subject to change. Beta features are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.

Elastic Agent must be installed. For more details, check the Elastic Agent installation instructions. You can install only one Elastic Agent per host.
