Attributes

Caption Name Type Is Array Default Description
Boundary boundary String The boundary of the connection, normalized to the caption of 'boundary_id'. In the case of 'Other', it is defined by the event source.

For cloud connections, this translates to the traffic-boundary(same VPC, through IGW, etc.). For traditional networks, this is described as Local, Internal, or External.

Boundary ID boundary_id Integer

The normalized identifier of the boundary of the connection.

For cloud connections, this translates to the traffic-boundary (same VPC, through IGW, etc.). For traditional networks, this is described as Local, Internal, or External.

Protocol Name protocol_name String The TCP/IP protocol name in lowercase, as defined by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). See Protocol Numbers. For example: tcp or udp.
Protocol Number protocol_num Integer The TCP/IP protocol number, as defined by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). Use -1 if the protocol is not defined by IANA. See Protocol Numbers. For example: 6 for TCP and 17 for UDP.
IP Version protocol_ver String The Internet Protocol version.

Session session Session The authenticated user or service session.
TCP Flags tcp_flags Integer The network connection TCP header flags (i.e., control bits).
Connection UID uid String The unique identifier of the connection.
Unmapped Data unmapped Unmapped The attributes that are not mapped to the event schema. The names and values of those attributes are specific to the event source.
