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.
| Log source | Channel | Data component |
|---|---|---|
| kubernetes:events | CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled, container restart count exceeds threshold | DC0018 Host Status |
| docker:events | Container exited with non-zero code repeatedly in short period | DC0038 Application Log Content |
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.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
RestartCountThreshold | Number of container restarts within a time window |
ContainerImageEntropy | Payload entropy of container image as an anomaly factor |
