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 |
|---|---|---|
| networkdevice:syslog | username <user> privilege <level> | DC0014 User Account Creation |
Mutable elements

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
PrivilegeLevel | Some devices allow unprivileged user creation—adjust based on role risk |
RemoteSessionFlag | Creation via Telnet, SSH, or serial console affects detection priority |
