Update field mapping documentation for Security Analytics #2422

cwillum · 2023-01-17T22:40:55Z

Signed-off-by: cwillum [email protected]

Description

Field mappings steps for detection creation have been separated into two tables: pending and default field mappings. This needs to be updated in documentation and the functionality of this step needs to be updated and clarified in general.

Issues Resolved

This update better clarifies the purpose of this step and the configuration of field mappings. This also updates the documentation to cover the two types of fields: pending and default.

I created this PR to address the requirement for 1.2 in issue #2400 (the other updates to docs are complete). I need to speak with an SME to understand the purpose of these mappings and get more context. @AWSHurneyt appears to be out today. The 2.5 release is slated for 1/19/23. If I can't find another SME for explanation, we can handle this update after the release.

@AWSHurneyt @Naarcha-AWS
@petardz Thanks for taking a first stab at this update for field mappings. I returned to it and made changes based on our conversation yesterday. Could you have a look at what I've done here and add any comments if you see something that looks/sounds funny or may not be accurate. Thanks!
@opensearch-project/security-analytics Or anyone on the team, could someone have a look at this for technical accuracy? Thanks.

suggestion:

To trigger alerts, the log event data needs to be mapped to the detector. The field mapping step maps the log field names from the index that provides the data with the rule field names to set up detectors to trigger alerts.

Agree with Alice. I would just change the second sentence to "Creating field mappings maps the log field names..."

Good. Thanks.

Maybe "Create field mappings"?

oh and remember our style change to use gerunds for all section headings? So could be
"Creating field mappings" then

I think it's ok without gerunds because it says "step 2".

Agree with Fanit: we are standardizing gerunds are for the TOC/nav pane.

thanks: create field mappings. and, yes, imperative voice for instruction: do this, do that.

To be 100% factually correct here: these rule fields are coming from ALL pre-packaged rules of selected log type/category (rule category == log type)

Changed to:
"The Rule field name column lists field names based on all of the pre-packaged rules associated with the selected log type."

That is perfect! Thank you!

If you find a mapping that doesn't appear to be accurate, you can use the dropdown list as described in the [Pending field mappings](#pending-field-mappings) section to correct the field mapping.


		Nevertheless, it's a good idea to review the mappings and verify that they are matched as expected and correct. If you find a mapping that doesn't appear to be accurate, you can use the dropdown menu as described in the Pending field mappings section above to correct the field mapping.

		After completing the mappings, select the Next button in the lower-right corner of the screen. The Set up alerts page appears and displays settings for an alert trigger.


		Field mapping matches field names for the rule with field names from the log being used to provide data. The mappings are automatically applied once the detector is defined in previous steps. This page offers the user the option to map log-specific field names to the internal rule field names.
		The field mapping step matches field names from the rule with field names from the log index being used to provide data. Creating field mappings allows the system to accurately convey event data from the log to the detector and then use the data for triggering alerts.
