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.

The tables below list the default asset and identity fields in the KV store collections after the merge process completes. However, take note that it is possible to revise fields from multivalue to single, and tag or untag fields. It is also possible to add custom fields.

bunit	unchanged
city	unchanged
country	unchanged
dns	Accepts all values and converts them to a multi-value field.
lat	unchanged
long	unchanged
mac	Accepts all values and converts them to a multi-value field.
nt_host	Accepts all values and converts them to a multi-value field.
owner	unchanged
priority	unchanged
asset_id	Generated from the values of dns, ip, mac, and nt_host fields.

is_expected	Normalized to a boolean.
should_timesync	Normalized to a boolean.
should_update	Normalized to a boolean.
requires_av	Normalized to a boolean.
asset	Generated by the ip, mac, nt_host, and dns fields after the original fields are transformed.
