Stages and Predicates
Parameters
let dt_lookBack = 1h;
let ioc_lookBack = 14d;
The stages below define let IP_Indicators (the rule's main pipeline source).
Stage 1: source
ThreatIntelligenceIndicator
Stage 2: where
| where isnotempty(NetworkIP) or isnotempty(EmailSourceIpAddress) or isnotempty(NetworkDestinationIP) or isnotempty(NetworkSourceIP)
Stage 3: where
| where TimeGenerated >= ago(ioc_lookBack)
Stage 4: where
| where ConfidenceScore > 50
Stage 5: extend (4 consecutive steps)
| extend TI_ipEntity = iff(isnotempty(NetworkIP), NetworkIP, NetworkDestinationIP)
| extend TI_ipEntity = iff(isempty(TI_ipEntity) and isnotempty(NetworkSourceIP), NetworkSourceIP, TI_ipEntity)
| extend TI_ipEntity = iff(isempty(TI_ipEntity) and isnotempty(EmailSourceIpAddress), EmailSourceIpAddress, TI_ipEntity)
| extend AlertPriority = case(ConfidenceScore > 82, "High",
ConfidenceScore > 74, "Medium",
"Low")

| where ipv4_is_private(TI_ipEntity) == false and TI_ipEntity !startswith "fe80" and TI_ipEntity !startswith "::" and TI_ipEntity !startswith "127."
Stage 7: summarize
| summarize LatestIndicatorTime = arg_max(TimeGenerated, *) by IndicatorId
Stage 8: where
| where Active == true and ExpirationDateTime > now()
The stages below run on IP_Indicators (the outer pipeline).

Stage 10: where
| where AppService_TimeGenerated < ExpirationDateTime
Stage 11: summarize
| summarize AppService_TimeGenerated = arg_max(AppService_TimeGenerated, *) by IndicatorId, CIp
Stage 12: project

Exclusions
Top-level NOT(...) conjuncts: predicates this rule actively suppresses.

Indicators
Each row is a field, operator, and value that the rule matches. The corpus column counts how many other rules in the catalog look for the same combination: high numbers point to widely-used, community-vetted indicators. Blank or 1 shows that the indicator is specific to this rule.
| Field | Kind | Values |
|---|---|---|
Active | eq |
|
AppService_TimeGenerated | lt |
|
CIp | is_not_null | |
ConfidenceScore | gt |
|
EmailSourceIpAddress | is_not_null | |
NetworkDestinationIP | is_not_null | |
NetworkIP | is_not_null | |
NetworkSourceIP | is_not_null |
Output fields
Fields the rule emits when it matches. Chronicle authors list these in the outcome block; they appear on the detection and $risk_score drives alerting. Sentinel / Defender XDR rules build them up through project / summarize / extend stages. Sentinel maps these into alert fields via entityMappings and customDetails; Defender XDR custom detections surface them as alert fields directly.
