Duration duration Integer The event duration or aggregate time, the amount of time the event covers from start_time to end_time in milliseconds.
End Time end_time Timestamp The end time of a time period, or the time of the most recent event included in the aggregate event.
Enrichments enrichments Enrichment The additional information from an external data source, which is associated with the event or a finding. For example add location information for the IP address in the DNS answers:

[{"name": "answers.ip", "value": "92.24.47.250", "type": "location", "data": {"city": "Socotra", "continent": "Asia", "coordinates": [-25.4153, 17.0743], "country": "YE", "desc": "Yemen"}}]
HTTP Request http_request HTTP Request Details about the underlying HTTP request.
Cleartext Credentials is_cleartext Boolean Indicates whether the credentials were passed in clear text.

Note: True if the credentials were passed in a clear text protocol such as FTP or TELNET, or if Windows detected that a user's logon password was passed to the authentication package in clear text.

Message message String The description of the event/finding, as defined by the source.
Metadata metadata Metadata The metadata associated with the event or a finding.
Observables observables Observable The observables associated with the event or a finding.
Raw Data raw_data JSON The event data as received from the event source.
Record ID record_id String Unique idenifier for the event
Service service Service The service or gateway to which the user or process is being authenticated
Session session Session The authenticated user or service session.
Severity severity String The event/finding severity, normalized to the caption of the severity_id value. In the case of 'Other', it is defined by the source.
Severity ID severity_id Integer

The normalized identifier of the event/finding severity.

The normalized severity is a measurement the effort and expense required to manage and resolve an event or incident. Smaller numerical values represent lower impact events, and larger numerical values represent higher impact events.
