stableDisplay name: TagsA consolidated record that aggregates all tag values originating from different contexts. Each nested field within tags represents a specific key (for example, release or name). The value of each nested field is the tag value from one or multiple contexts. Tags for specific context can be queried via tags:context field. Note that rule-based tags do not exist in the new model.
stableDisplay name: LifetimeThe lifetime of the entity. This is a record with two nested fields: start and end, which represent the time when the entity was first and last observed, respectively. Each time an entity is updated, the end time is updated to the current time.
stableDisplay name: ReferencesProvides access to static edges pointing to other entities. In this record each nested field represents a relationship type and target type, and the value is an array of target smartscape IDs. This field is hidden by default but can be added using the fieldsAdd command.
resourcestableDisplay name: DT security contextThe security contexts associated with the entity. For Smartscape entities, this field is always an array.Tags: permission
