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 | snapshot create/write events | DC0057 Snapshot Creation |
| esxi:shell | CLI usage logs | 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 |
|---|---|
SnapshotThreshold | Rapid creation or deletion of snapshots |
CLIInvoker | Unexpected CLI/script invocation outside maintenance windows |
VMFSWriteRate | Volume of data written locally in short time |
