Synthetic HTTP monitor execution

Synthetic HTTP monitor execution event

Fields

The following base fields are used for synthetic events.

AttributeTypeDescriptionExamples
timestamptimestampstable
The time (UNIX Epoch time in nanoseconds) when the event originated, typically when the source created it. If no original timestamp is available, it will be populated at ingest time and required for all events. In the case of a correlated event (for example, ITIL events), this time could be different from the event.start time, as this time represents the actual timestamp when the "update" for the event was created.

Synthetic network availability monitor execution

Synthetic network availability monitor execution event

Fields

The following base fields are used for synthetic events.

AttributeTypeDescriptionExamples
timestamptimestampstable
The time (UNIX Epoch time in nanoseconds) when the event originated, typically when the source created it. If no original timestamp is available, it will be populated at ingest time and required for all events. In the case of a correlated event (for example, ITIL events), this time could be different from the event.start time, as this time represents the actual timestamp when the "update" for the event was created.
1649822520123123123
event.idstringstable
Unique identifier string of an event; is stable across multiple refreshes and updates.
5547782627070661074_1647601320000
event.versionstringstable
Describes the version of the event.
1.0.0
event.typestringstable
The unique type identifier of a given event.

event.kindstringstable
Gives high-level information about what kind of information the event contains without being specific about the contents of the event. It helps to determine the record type of a raw event. 1
