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 | None | DC0029 Script Execution |
| esxi:hostd | process | DC0032 Process 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 |
|---|---|
SSHSessionOrigin | Distinguish external SSH sessions from internal admin maintenance |
TargetIP | Egress test destination may be filtered to known CDNs/test nodes |
