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

UserContextDefine scope of monitored users (e.g., service accounts, admins)
FailureThresholdCount of failed logons before raising an alert (e.g., 10-15)
