Detection logic
Its licence does not clear it for publishing here
Sunturai publishes a detection's own text where the licence it arrived under has been reviewed and permits it, and Elastic License 2.0 has not. The query as its source wrote it, its canonical form and the hash that pins this revision are in the workspace record.
Detection requirements
Known benign triggers
- Valid clusters or instances may be stopped by a system administrator. Verify whether the user identity, user agent, and/or hostname should be making changes in your environment. Cluster or instance stoppages from unfamiliar users or hosts should be investigated. If known behavior is causing false positives, it can be exempted from the rule.
