Observation Schema

You can refer to this observation schema to configure the payload template for a third-party webhook connector.

Alert Logic generates an observation when it detects an occurrence of a log correlation rule. For more information, see Correlations and Notifications.

Definitions

  • fields (object)
    • authority (string) – Alert Logic subsystem and component that generated the observation

    • class (string) – Major classification of the observation, the value of which depends on the taxonomy selected for the observation

    • confidence (number) – True positive detection confidence expressed as a number between 0 and 100, representing a rounded whole number percentage. A value of 100 equals 100 percent true positive detection.

    • desc (string) – Observation description

    • end_ts (number) - Epoch time stamp when the last log message triggering this correlation observation occurred
    • ingest_id (binary) - Unique log message identifier

    • ingest_ts (number) - Epoch time stamp (GMT) indicating when Alert Logic processed the log message

    • keys (object) - Set of token-type values that uniquely identify an instance of this observation type

      • message (string) - Details about the observation instance
      • time_recv (number) - Epoch time when Alert Logic detected the observation instance

  • parents (array of strings) - References to data records that contributed to the generation of this observation and can be used to navigate to the log search used for the log correlation rule

  • path (string) - Unique logical name and path of the observation in the Alert Logic console
  • properties (object) - Set of token-type values that capture additional information about the observation

  • recommendations (string) - Full text of the recommended actions for this observation or incident

  • severity (string) - Importance of this observation with respect to the risk to the customer's environment

    Valid values: critical, high, medium, low, info

  • start_ts (number) - Epoch time stamp when the first log message triggering this correlation observation occurred
  • subclass (string) - Minor classification of the observation, the value of which depends on the taxonomy selected for the observation

  • summary (string) - Summary of the observation
  • tactic (string) - Determined MITRE ATT&CK tactic based on its detection within the customer's environment

  • technique (string) - Determined MITRE ATT&CK technique based on its detection within the customer's environment

  • ts (number) - Epoch time stamp (GMT) indicating when the observation observation was generated

  • visibility (string) - Defines who can see the observation in the system and is used for notification and incident generation
  • id (object) - Information about the observation returned by the search service
    • account (number) - Customer account identifier

    • aid (number) - Internal audit ID

    • msgid (string) - Observation message identifier

  • extra (object) - Additional information about the observation
    • customer_name (string) - Customer name of the Alert Logic account where the observation was generated

    • observation_description (string) - Observation description in HTML format

    • correlation_rule_id (string) - Unique identifier of the log correlation rule that generated the observation

    • correlation_rule_name (string) - Name of the log correlation rule that generated the observation

    • observation_id (string) - Identifier of the observation

    • deployment_name (string) - Name of the deployment in which the observation occurred

    • tld (string) - Top-level Alert Logic domain for the customer based on the region in which the data resides.

      Valid values: uk, us
