Normalization is a process of event parsing.
Input: one raw event from collector (syslog, log file line, dB table record, etc)
Output: one "normal" event

Sometimes it's not enough. You want to ENRICH your event with some data from other sources. GEOIP, data from previously collected events, cmdb data, etc ).
For example 4688 in old windows versions does not contain parent process name - only it's PID. But you can keep mapping between pid and name in a table and use it for other events.

Enrichment
Input: one event
Output: the same event with some modifications

Correlation do synthesis of new event from a sequence of others
Input: events sequence
Output: one new event with optional incident

thank you for your clarification

Aggregation. Right after normalization you have an option to make a kind of "logical compression" of dense stream of almost identical events. The main case for now is "deflating" network events. For example you can aggregate all netflow events with same proto, src, dst for 5 seconds in one event
Input: events sequence
Output: one new event and dropped input sequence

Localization is about human readable representation of event in grids. We have a virtual field <text> in our event definition scheme. It doesn't exists in database and generates only for event viewer. So we have localization rules for this. Rule is a combination of filter to define the scope of events to be described with rule and format string (kind of printf()) for combining different attributes into on string. Format string can be different for different languages. What's why we called it localization rules :)

About table lists. Have you experience with other SIEMs?
Active lists in Arcsight
Set of reference sets in QRadar

RS

Roman Sergeev in MaxPatrol SIEM
This is just tables. You can query them. You can modify them (there are some restrictions and considerations)
источник

RS

Roman Sergeev in MaxPatrol SIEM
Main use cases: external dictionaries for referencing (IOCs for example) or mutable state for keeping context between different events (remember 4688 above?)
источник

RS

Roman Sergeev in MaxPatrol SIEM
Mutable tables should be used very carefully. Think about it

many thanks roman , you made a good explanations

About macroses. This is a way to reuse long and complicated event filters between different rules. Code became more clear, compact and supportable.
My advise to you: do not use it at start. This is very optional and mostly for users with hundreds of self-written rules.

To be more specific about macroses. Explore our system macroses and use them. Don't start with your own library

in regards to data retention , How long time can the SIEM keep logs?

Balqess Odat

Morning
it depends on the size of your storage
источник

SR

Sergey Rybkin in MaxPatrol SIEM
And you logs flow (EPS - event per second)
источник

BO

Balqess Odat in MaxPatrol SIEM
is it adjustable or not
источник

SR

Sergey Rybkin in MaxPatrol SIEM
yes, you need stop all data collect task and adjust storage volume
and it's possible set log rotation service - old logs will be replaced with new ones
