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 |
|---|---|---|
| ApplicationLog:API | Docker/Kubernetes API access from external sources | DC0038 Application Log Content |
| kubernetes:audit | Unauthorized container creation or kubelet exec logs | DC0088 Logon Session Metadata |
| NSM:Flow | External access to container ports (2375, 6443) | DC0082 Network Connection Creation |
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 |
|---|---|
AllowedCIDRs | Approved external IP ranges for container APIs. |
TimeWindow | Correlation window for API calls and container starts. |
