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 | VMFS file creation | DC0039 File Creation |
| esxi:vob | NFS/remote access logs | DC0085 Network Traffic Content |
| esxi:shell | invoked remote scripts (esxcli) | 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 |
|---|---|
SnapshotFrequency | How often snapshots are mounted or restored from peer nodes |
RemoteWriteVolume | Threshold for staging behavior vs. backup/operational activity |
StorageMountPaths | Common local destinations for incoming data |
