Splunk

Replace the placeholder data from this section with your actual data

1. index: This is the index in which your data resides in Splunk. The specific indexes you have will depend on how you've set up your data inputs.

2. sourcetype: This specifies the data format for events from a data input, such as logs from a specific type of server or service (e.g., "access_combined", "WinEventLog:Security", "cisco:asa", etc.). The sourcetypes available will depend on the types of data inputs you have.

3. host, src_ip, dest_ip: These fields typically represent the host, source IP, and destination IP associated with an event. The names of these fields may vary depending on your data.

4. action, status, severity: These fields often represent the action taken (e.g., success, failure, download, accessed), the status of a request or response, or the severity of an event or alert. These could also vary depending on your data.

5. file_path, process_name, uri, query, user_agent, service, port: These fields represent various specifics of an event such as file paths accessed, process names, URLs or URIs accessed, DNS queries made, User-Agent strings in web requests, names of services, and port numbers. The names and availability of these fields will depend on your data sources.

6. user, clientip, src_user, session_duration, process_start: These fields could represent the user or client IP associated with an event, the user on the source system, the duration of user sessions, or the start time of processes. These field names could vary based on your data.

7. bytes_out, bytes, amount: These fields typically represent the volume of data associated with an event, such as bytes sent out or received, or amounts in transaction events. The exact field names may vary.

8. EventCode, level, threat_detected, device_id, printer_name, Country, description: These are more specific fields that would be associated with certain types of logs, such as Windows event logs, system logs, threat detection logs, device logs, printer logs, location data, or threat descriptions.
