Log sources and channels
Exactly as MITRE states them in x_mitre_log_source_references. Where a channel is vague, it is vague in the source; kevmap does not tidy it.
| Log source | Channel | Data component |
|---|---|---|
| esxi:vmkernel | VMFS access logs | DC0055 File Access |
| esxi:shell | snapshot create/copy, esxcli | DC0064 Command Execution |
Mutable elements
Parameters MITRE marks as environment-specific. These are the knobs you are expected to tune; they are why an analytic is not a rule.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
SnapshotFrequency | Number of snapshots in short time period |
AccessUserList | Non-admins or automation accounts writing to datastores |
CLIContext | Manual or unexpected API calls triggering snapshots |
