Would someone know if the following is possible?

I have a product by the name of BitDefender which can produce a log - the log is in CEF format I believe.  That log contains alerts that are raised by various endpoints being monitored by BitDefender.

  1. Is there a way I could deploy an OSSEC agent on the BitDefender server and read in the log it produces and send that information as alerts to the OSSEC server?  

  2. The log being produced by BitDefender is usually sent to a SIEM, so bascially I am trying to get the OSSEC agent to act as a mini-SIEM - reading custom logs.

I don't know much about bitdefender, so it's hard to say. OSSEC can
install on most Windows and Linux systems. If it's a blackbox
appliance it would be a lot harder. Looking at their site there are a
lot of products. Which one are you using specifically?
Is the log file an actual file or does it log to a database or something?
