With the creation of the threat.indicator.* fieldset, there are updates needed for the nesting guidance for as.* and geo.* to allow those fieldsets to be nested under threat.indicator.*
Motivation:
Traditionally, threat information provided via a feed is non-directional (example: bad_asn:AS12345 vs. bad_source_asn:AS12345). This is replicated for Geographic information, if this is included, it may identify where the atomic indicator is located (geo.country_iso_code:CA vs. bad_source_geo.country_iso_code), but not if it is the source or destination. These fields are traditionally functionally-aligned and are nested under source.* and destination.*; however threat information generally doesn't have a direction assigned, so as.* and geo.* should be allowed under threat.indicator.*
Detailed Design:
Provide additional details around the design of the proposed changes.
Field Reuse
The as fields are expected to be nested at: client.as, destination.as, server.as, source.as, threat.indicator.
Note also that the as fields are not expected to be used directly at the root of the events.
Field Reuse
The geo fields are expected to be nested at: client.geo, destination.geo, host.geo, observer.geo, server.geo, source.geo, threat.indicator.
Note also that the geo fields are not expected to be used directly at the root of the events.
