Logs

Threat

The MISP integration configuration allows to set the polling interval, how far back it should look initially, and optionally any filters used to filter the results.

The filters themselves are based on the MISP API documentation and should support all documented fields.

Exported fields

Field	Description	Type
@timestamp	Event timestamp.	date
cloud.account.id	The cloud account or organization id used to identify different entities in a multi-tenant environment. Examples: AWS account id, Google Cloud ORG Id, or other unique identifier.	keyword
cloud.availability_zone	Availability zone in which this host is running.	keyword
cloud.image.id	Image ID for the cloud instance.	keyword
cloud.instance.id	Instance ID of the host machine.	keyword
cloud.instance.name	Instance name of the host machine.	keyword
cloud.machine.type	Machine type of the host machine.	keyword
cloud.project.id	Name of the project in Google Cloud.	keyword
cloud.provider	Name of the cloud provider. Example values are aws, azure, gcp, or digitalocean.	keyword
cloud.region	Region in which this host is running.	keyword
container.id	Unique container id.	keyword
container.image.name	Name of the image the container was built on.	keyword
container.labels	Image labels.	object
container.name	Container name.	keyword
data_stream.dataset	Data stream dataset name.	constant_keyword
data_stream.namespace	Data stream namespace.	constant_keyword
data_stream.type	Data stream type.	constant_keyword
ecs.version	ECS version this event conforms to. `ecs.version` is a required field and must exist in all events. When querying across multiple indices -- which may conform to slightly different ECS versions -- this field lets integrations adjust to the schema version of the events.	keyword
error.message	Error message.	match_only_text
event.category	This is one of four ECS Categorization Fields, and indicates the second level in the ECS category hierarchy. `event.category` represents the "big buckets" of ECS categories. For example, filtering on `event.category:process` yields all events relating to process activity. This field is closely related to `event.type`, which is used as a subcategory. This field is an array. This will allow proper categorization of some events that fall in multiple categories.	keyword
event.created	`event.created` contains the date/time when the event was first read by an agent, or by your pipeline. This field is distinct from `@timestamp` in that `@timestamp` typically contain the time extracted from the original event. In most situations, these two timestamps will be slightly different. The difference can be used to calculate the delay between your source generating an event, and the time when your agent first processed it. This can be used to monitor your agent's or pipeline's ability to keep up with your event source. In case the two timestamps are identical, `@timestamp` should be used.	date
event.dataset	Event dataset	constant_keyword
event.ingested	Timestamp when an event arrived in the central data store. This is different from `@timestamp`, which is when the event originally occurred. It's also different from `event.created`, which is meant to capture the first time an agent saw the event. In normal conditions, assuming no tampering, the timestamps should chronologically look like this: `@timestamp` < `event.created` < `event.ingested`.	date
event.kind	This is one of four ECS Categorization Fields, and indicates the highest level in the ECS category hierarchy. `event.kind` gives high-level information about what type of information the event contains, without being specific to the contents of the event. For example, values of this field distinguish alert events from metric events. The value of this field can be used to inform how these kinds of events should be handled. They may warrant different retention, different access control, it may also help understand whether the data is coming in at a regular interval or not.	keyword
event.module	Event module	constant_keyword
event.original	Raw text message of entire event. Used to demonstrate log integrity or where the full log message (before splitting it up in multiple parts) may be required, e.g. for reindex. This field is not indexed and doc_values are disabled. It cannot be searched, but it can be retrieved from `_source`. If users wish to override this and index this field, please see `Field data types` in the `Elasticsearch Reference`.	keyword
event.type	This is one of four ECS Categorization Fields, and indicates the third level in the ECS category hierarchy. `event.type` represents a categorization "sub-bucket" that, when used along with the `event.category` field values, enables filtering events down to a level appropriate for single visualization. This field is an array. This will allow proper categorization of some events that fall in multiple event types.	keyword
host.architecture	Operating system architecture.	keyword
host.containerized	If the host is a container.	boolean
host.domain	Name of the domain of which the host is a member. For example, on Windows this could be the host's Active Directory domain or NetBIOS domain name. For Linux this could be the domain of the host's LDAP provider.	keyword
host.hostname	Hostname of the host. It normally contains what the `hostname` command returns on the host machine.	keyword
host.id	Unique host id. As hostname is not always unique, use values that are meaningful in your environment. Example: The current usage of `beat.name`.	keyword
host.ip	Host ip addresses.	ip
host.mac	Host mac addresses.	keyword
host.name	Name of the host. It can contain what `hostname` returns on Unix systems, the fully qualified domain name, or a name specified by the user. The sender decides which value to use.	keyword
host.os.build	OS build information.	keyword
host.os.codename	OS codename, if any.	keyword
host.os.family	OS family (such as redhat, debian, freebsd, windows).	keyword
host.os.kernel	Operating system kernel version as a raw string.	keyword
host.os.name	Operating system name, without the version.	keyword
host.os.name.text	Multi-field of `host.os.name`.	text
host.os.platform	Operating system platform (such centos, ubuntu, windows).	keyword
host.os.version	Operating system version as a raw string.	keyword
host.type	Type of host. For Cloud providers this can be the machine type like `t2.medium`. If vm, this could be the container, for example, or other information meaningful in your environment.	keyword
input.type	Type of Filebeat input.	keyword
log.file.path	Path to the log file.	keyword
log.flags	Flags for the log file.	keyword
log.offset	Offset of the entry in the log file.	long
message	For log events the message field contains the log message, optimized for viewing in a log viewer. For structured logs without an original message field, other fields can be concatenated to form a human-readable summary of the event. If multiple messages exist, they can be combined into one message.	match_only_text

Threat Attributes

The MISP integration configuration allows to set the polling interval, how far back it should look initially, and optionally any filters used to filter the results. This datastream supports expiration of indicators of compromise (IOC). This data stream uses the /attributes/restSearch API endpoint which returns more granular information regarding MISP attributes and additional information such as decay_score. Using decay_score, the integration makes the attribute as decayed/expired if >= 50% of the decaying models consider the attribute to be decayed. Inside the document, the field decayed is set to true if the attribute is considered decayed. More information on decaying models can be found here.

Expiration of Indicators of Compromise (IOCs)

The ingested IOCs expire after certain duration which is indicated by the decayed field. An Elastic Transform is created to faciliate only active IOCs be available to the end users. This transform creates destination indices named logs-ti_misp_latest.dest_threat_attributes-* which only contains active and unexpired IOCs. The latest destination index also has an alias named logs-ti_misp_latest.threat_attributes. When querying for active indicators or setting up indicator match rules, only use the latest destination indices or the alias to avoid false positives from expired IOCs. Dashboards for Threat Attributes datastream are also pointing to the latest destination indices containing active IoCs. Please read ILM Policy below which is added to avoid unbounded growth on source datastream .ds-logs-ti_misp.threat_attributes-* indices.

Handling Orphaned IOCs

Some IOCs may never get decayed/expired and will continue to stay in the latest destination indices logs-ti_misp_latest.dest_threat_attributes-*. To avoid any false positives from such orphaned IOCs, users are allowed to configure IOC Expiration Duration parameter while setting up the integration. This parameter deletes all data inside the destination indices logs-ti_misp_latest.dest_threat_attributes-* after this specified duration is reached, defaults to 90d after attribute's max(last_seen, timestamp). Note that IOC Expiration Duration parameter only exists to add a fail-safe default expiration in case IOCs never expire.

ILM Policy

To facilitate IOC expiration, source datastream-backed indices .ds-logs-ti_misp.threat_attributes-* are allowed to contain duplicates from each polling interval. ILM policy is added to these source indices so it doesn't lead to unbounded growth. This means data in these source indices will be deleted after 5 days from ingested date.
