Asset and identity fields after processing in Splunk Enterprise Security

The following tables describe the fields that exist in the asset and identity lookups after Splunk Enterprise Security finishes processing the source lookup files. These fields are the fields present in the lookups that store merged asset and identity data. See Lookups that store merged asset and identity data in Splunk Enterprise Security.
