Certificates

The fields and tags in the Certificates data model describe key and certificate management events from a variety of secure servers and IAM systems.

Note: A dataset is a component of a data model. In versions of the Splunk platform prior to version 6.5.0, these were referred to as data model objects.

Tags used with Certificates event datasets

The following tags act as constraints to identify your events as being relevant to this data model. For more information, see How to use these reference tables.

Dataset name	Tag name
All_Certificates	certificate
|____ SSL	ssl OR tls

Fields for Certificates event datasets

The following table lists the extracted and calculated fields for the event datasets in the model. The table does not include any inherited fields. For more information, see How to use these reference tables.

Dataset name	Field name	Data type	Description	Abbreviated list of example values
All_Certificates	dest	string	The target in the certificate management event.
All_Certificates	dest_bunit	string	The business unit of the target. This field is automatically provided by Asset and Identity correlation features of applications like Splunk Enterprise Security.
All_Certificates	dest_category	string	The category of the target, such as email_server or SOX-compliant. This field is automatically provided by Asset and Identity correlation features of applications like the Splunk Enterprise Security.
All_Certificates	dest_port	number	The port number of the target.
All_Certificates	dest_priority	string	The priority of the target.
All_Certificates	duration	number	The amount of time for the completion of the certificate management event, in seconds.
All_Certificates	response_time	number	The amount of time it took to receive a response in the certificate management event, if applicable.
All_Certificates	src	string	The source involved in the certificate management event. You can alias this from more specific fields, such as src_host, src_ip, or src_nt_host. Note: Do not confuse src with the event source or sourcetype fields.
All_Certificates	src_bunit	string	The business unit of the certificate management source. This field is automatically provided by Asset and Identity correlation features of applications like Splunk Enterprise Security.
All_Certificates	src_category	string	The category of the certificate management source, such as email_server or SOX-compliant. This field is automatically provided by Asset and Identity correlation features of applications like the Splunk Enterprise Security.
All_Certificates	src_port	number	The port number of the source.
All_Certificates	src_priority	string	The priority of the certificate management source.
All_Certificates	tag	string	This automatically generated field is used to access tags from within datamodels. Add-on builders do not need to populate it.
All_Certificates	transport	string	The transport protocol of the Network Traffic involved with this certificate.
SSL	ssl_end_time	time	The expiry time of the certificate. Needs to be converted to UNIX time for calculations in dashboards.
SSL	ssl_engine	string	The name of the signature engine that created the certificate.
SSL	ssl_hash	string	The hash of the certificate.
SSL	ssl_is_valid	boolean	Indicator of whether the ssl certificate is valid or not.	true, false, 1, 0

SSL	ssl_name	string	The name of the ssl certificate.
SSL	ssl_policies	string	The Object Identification Numbers's of the certificate's policies in a comma separated string.
SSL	ssl_publickey	string	The certificate's public key.
SSL	ssl_publickey_algorithm	string	The algorithm used to create the public key.
SSL	ssl_serial	string	The certificate's serial number.
SSL	ssl_session_id	string	The session identifier for this certificate.
SSL	ssl_signature_algorithm	string	The algorithm used by the Certificate Authority to sign the certificate.
SSL	ssl_start_time	time	This is the start date and time for this certificate's validity. Needs to be converted to UNIX time for calculations in dashboards.
SSL	ssl_subject	string	The certificate owner's RFC2253 Distinguished Name.
SSL	ssl_subject_common_name	string	This certificate owner's common name.
SSL	ssl_subject_email	string	The certificate owner's e-mail address.
