Malware
The fields in the Malware data model describe malware detection and endpoint protection management.
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 Malware event and search 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 |
---|---|
Malware_Attacks | malware |
attack | |
Malware_Operations | malware |
operations |
Fields for the Malware_Attacks event datasets and Malware_Operations search dataset
Malware_Attacks is mainly for searching against and creating alerts for potential malware infections in your environment. Malware_Operations is mainly for monitoring the health and operational status of your anti-virus or anti-malware solution.
The following table lists the extracted and calculated fields for the event dataset and search dataset 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 |
