Web
The fields in the Web data model describe web server and/or proxy server data in a security or operational context.
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 the Web 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 |

Fields for Web event datasets
The following table lists the extracted and calculated fields for the event datasets in the model. Note that it does not include any inherited fields. For more information, see How to use these reference tables.
The key for using the column titled "Abbreviated list of example values" follows:
- Recommended: Add-on developers make a best effort to map these event fields. If these fields are not populated, then the event is not very useful.
- Required: Add-on developers map these event fields when using the pytest-splunk-addon to test for CIM compatibility. See pytest-splunk-addon documentation.
- Prescribed fields: Permitted values that can populate the fields, which Splunk is using for a particular purpose. Other valid values exist, but Splunk is not relying on them.
- Other values: Other example values that you might see.
