Log sources and channels

Exactly as MITRE states them in x_mitre_log_source_references. Where a channel is vague, it is vague in the source; kevmap does not tidy it.

Mutable elements

Parameters MITRE marks as environment-specific. These are the knobs you are expected to tune; they are why an analytic is not a rule.

FieldDescription
MonitoredPathsAdjust based on syslog/auditd file paths (/var/log/messages, /var/log/audit/audit.log)
UserContextScope to root/sudo usage or anomalous user behavior
