1. Formats

The following formats are possible formats for telemetry events:

SNARE

<Hostname>    TelemetryLog    <SeverityLevel>   <TimeCreated(YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM)>   <MetricType> <InstanceName> <EventName>  <Value>

SNARE V2

<Hostname>    TelemetryLog    <SeverityLevel>    {"Event":{"Data":{"MetricType":"<MetricType>","InstanceName":"<InstanceName>","EventName":"<EventName>","Value":"<Value>"},"System":{"TimeCreated":{"SystemTime":"<SystemTime(YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM.ssssssZ)>","LocalTime":"<LocalTime(YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.ssssss±hh:mm)>"}}}} 

SYSLOG (RFC3164)

<<S>><TimeCreated(MMM DD HH:MM:SS)> <Hostname> TelemetryLog <SeverityLevel> <TimeCreated(YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM)> <MetricType> <InstanceName> <EventName> <Value>

SYSLOG Alt (RFC5424 Compatible)

<<S>><TimeCreated(MMM DD HH:MM:SS)> <Hostname> TelemetryLog[<SeverityLevel>]:<TimeCreated(YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM)> <MetricType> <InstanceName> <EventName> <Value>

SYSLOG (RFC5424)

<<S>><SyslogVersion> <TimeCreated(YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.ssssss±hh:mm)> <Hostname> <ProductName> - TelemetryLog - <SeverityLevel> <TimeCreated(YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM)> <MetricType> <InstanceName> <EventName> <Value>

CEF

<TimeCreated(MMM DD HH:MM:SS)> <Hostname> CEF:<CEFVersion>|<CompanyName>|<ProductName>|<ProductVersion>|TelemetryLog|<EventName>|<CEFSeverity>|value=<Value> dvchost=<Hostname> msg=<YYYY-MM-DD>|<hh:mm:ss>|<MetricType>|<InstanceName>|<EventName>|<Value>

LEEF

SYSLOG JSON

<<S>><SyslogVersion> <TimeCreated(YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.ssssss±hh:mm)> <Hostname> <ProductName> - TelemetryLog - <SeverityLevel> {"Event":{"Data":{"MetricType":"<MetricType>","InstanceName":"<InstanceName>","EventName":"<EventName>","Value":"<Value>"}}}

2. Telemetry Event Fields

Below is a table describing the contents of a FIM Telemetry Event generated by Snare Agent. 

FieldTypeDescription
HostnameStringThe host name of the originating computer.
EventTypeStringFIMLog TelemetryLog - the type of event generated.

SecurityLevelSeverityLevel

IntegerThe severity level (Criticality) of the generated event.
EventTimeTimeCreatedDatetimeThe time at which the modification telemetry event was detected. (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss)
DigestTypeStringSHA512 - the hashing algorithm used.
EventActionStringOne of CHANGE, DELETE, RENAME or NEW.
ObjectTypeStringFILE
ObjectNameStringThe full path name of the object that has been added, removed, changed or renamed.
ObjectSizeIntegerThe size of the object in bytes after the modification. 
ObjectOwnerStringThe owner of the object that the change was detected on.
ObjectMTimeDatetimeThe modification time (mtime) of the object when the change is detected. (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss)
ObjectDigestStringThe calculated digest (checksum) value.
ObjectAttributesIntegerThe attributes of the object as a bit-wise integer value.
PrevObjectNameStringThe name of the object that had been added, removed, changed or renamed from the previous scan or empty if no previous object exists.
PrevObjectSizeIntegerThe size of the object in bytes from the previous scan.  0 if no previous object exists.
PrevObjectOwnerStringThe owner of the object from the previous scan. Empty string if no previous object exists.
PrevObjectMTimeDatetimeThe modification time (mtime) of the object from the previous scan or empty if no previous object exists. (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss)
PrevObjectDigestString

The calculated digest (checksum) value from the previous scan. Empty string if no previous object exists.

PrevObjectAttributesIntegerThe attributes of the object from the previous scan as bit-wise integer value. 0 if no previous object existscreated. The format of the time depends on the log format that is selected.
MetricTypeStringThis is the hardware component source of the event; Events from the CPU, Disk, Memory or Network can be collected and are labelled as CPU, DSK, MEM or NET respectively.

InstanceName

StringThe name of the hardware interface the event is sourced. For example, if events from the Disk (DSK) are collected, there may be multiple storage interfaces present such as  HarddiskVolume1, HarddiskVolume2, etc.
EventNameStringThe name of the metric of the hardware interface. Given a hardware interface named by it's InstanceName, the EventName denotes the metric of the interface that is collected. Eg, EventName: ' % Free Space' from InstanceName:'HarddiskVolume1'
ValueFloatThe value of the metric.
EventChecksum (Optional)StringThe calculated SHA3-512 hash of the event excluding the EventChecksum field; this is additional optional data that may be set in the
EventSourceId (Optional)StringConfigurable ID/string for identifying the agent/host. This is also optional data like the EventChecksum and is selected likewise.
