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:shell | /var/log/shell.log | DC0040 File Deletion |
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 |
|---|---|
LogFilePath | Path to shell command history on ESXi. |
TimeWindow | Time range post-login or privileged escalation. |
