10 operations, identified by eventType in the audit log.

eventType	Description
directory.app_user_profile.bootstrap	Bootstrap application user profile.
directory.app_user_profile.update	Update application user profile.
directory.external.group.membership.add	External API call to add user group membership in a directory. This event audits the directory integration API when it adds a user to a group in a directory. Note that the event is fired even when the API call is unsuccessful.
directory.external.group.membership.remove	External API call to remove user group membership in a directory. This event audits the directory integration API when it removes a user from a group in a directory. Note that the event is fired even when the API call is unsuccessful.
directory.linked_object.create	An admin can create a linked object that is related to user profiles. This event may be used to identify when a linked object is created, and who created the linked object. This may be useful for admins to validate why a change in the user profile has happened. While linked object creation does not trigger or happen as a result of another event, it is overall related to custom property update, creation and deletion. This event only indicates the creation of a linked object. See directory.linked_object.delete for deletion of linked objects.
directory.linked_object.delete	An admin can delete a linked object that is related to user profiles. This event may be used to identify when a linked object is deleted, and who deleted the linked object. This may be useful for admins to validate why a change in the user profile has happened. While linked object creation does not trigger or happen as a result of another event, it is overall related to custom property update, creation and deletion. This event only indicates the deletion of a linked object. See directory.linked_object.create for creation of linked objects.
directory.mapping.update	Update universal directory mappings.
directory.non_default_user_profile.create	Create non-default universal directory user profile. This can be used to audit that a new non-default universal directory user profile has been created. When fired, this event contains the name and id of the newly created user profile.
directory.user_profile.bootstrap	Bootstrap universal directory user profile.
directory.user_profile.update	Update universal directory user profile directory.user_profile.update.

`j` / `k`	Scroll down / up
`d` / `u`	Half-page down / up
`gg` / `G`	Top / bottom
`h` / `l`	History back / forward
`f`	Follow link (`Shift` = new tab)
`/`	Focus search
`?`	Toggle this help
`↑` / `↓`	Navigate search results
`Enter`	Open highlighted result
`Esc`	Close results / dialog

`type:`	`events` / `rules` / `providers`
`vendor:`	`sigma` / `elastic` / `splunk` / `kusto` / `chronicle` (vendor name alone also works: `sigma:`, `kql:`, `secops:`…)
`tactic:`	TA-id, slug, or name: `credential_access`, `TA0006`
`technique:`	technique or sub-technique ID: `T1003`, `T1003.001` (alias `tech:`)
`severity:`	`critical` / `high` / `medium` / `low` / `informational` (alias `sev:`)
`risk_score`	Numeric comparison on the Elastic risk score (0 to 100): `risk_score>50`, `risk_score<=20`, `risk_score=99` (alias `risk`; Elastic rules only)
`stages:`	Rules with exactly N pipeline stages
`correlation:`	`single_event` / `sequence` / `alternatives` / `alternatives_cross_log` / `all_required` / `correlated`
`with:`	Co-occurrence event-id; stacks (`with:4624 with:4769`) to require all, while a comma list in one occurrence (`with:4624,4769`) is an either-or group. Implies multi-event
`like:`	Structural neighbors of a rule slug (equivalents + subsumption stricter / broader): `like:comsvcs_lsass_memory_dump-splunk-sysmon`
`groupby:`	Entity-grouping substring match against `group_by_keys`: `groupby:user`, `groupby:host`
`uses:`	Rules whose predicate tree touches the field (any kind, any value): `uses:CommandLine`
`excludes:`	Rules with top-level `not()` clauses on the field (FP whitelists): `excludes:ParentImage`
`field:` / `value:`	Predicate search; narrows rule cards to those with a matching leaf and drives the indicator tier. Unquoted = substring, wildcards allowed (`value:mimikatz`)
`indicator:`	Shorthand for `field:F value:V`: `indicator:Image=*\powershell.exe`
`kind:`	Filter by predicate kind. Narrows rule cards to those carrying a matching predicate leaf (`vendor:elastic kind:cidr_match`) and drives the indicator tier: `contains` / `starts_with` / `ends_with` / `regex` / `cidr` / `eq` / `in` … (operator aliases `op:`/`match:`)

`-op:val`	Exclude matches; works on most operators but not `type:`/`like:`/`has:`/`no:` (use `no:<flag>` to exclude a rule flag): `tactic:execution -vendor:splunk`. Standalone `-kind:`/`-field:`/`-value:` drop every rule carrying a matching predicate leaf (`type:rules -kind:is_null`)
`field:"…"` / `value:"…"`	Quoted value = anchored exact match (also allows spaces): `value:"net user"`
`a,b`	Comma = OR inside one operator (`vendor:sigma,elastic`, `severity:high,critical`); repeating a facet merges the same way. `field:`/`value:` never split (literal commas)
`vendors:` / `stage:`	Singular and plural spellings fold to the canonical operator and value: `tactics:` = `tactic:`, `type:event` = `type:events`, `correlation:sequences` = `correlation:sequence`, `has:thresholds` = `has:threshold`
`"quoted phrase"`	Exact-match a multi-word phrase (free text)
