Stages and Predicates

Parameters

let dt_lookBack = 1d;
let ioc_lookBack = 14d;

The stages below define let IP_Indicators (the rule's main pipeline source).

Stage 1: source

ThreatIntelIndicators

Stage 2: where

| where TimeGenerated >= ago(ioc_lookBack)

Stage 3: where

| where IsActive == true and ValidUntil > now()

Stage 4: summarize

| summarize LatestIndicatorTime = arg_max(TimeGenerated, *) by Id

Stage 5: where

| where SourceSystem == 'Lumen'

Stage 6: where

| where ObservableKey == 'ipv4-addr:value'

Stage 7: extend

| extend TI_ipEntity = ObservableValue

Stage 8: where

| where ipv4_is_private(TI_ipEntity) == false and TI_ipEntity !startswith 'fe80' and TI_ipEntity !startswith '::' and TI_ipEntity !startswith '127.'

The stages below run on IP_Indicators (the outer pipeline).

Stage 9: join

IP_Indicators
| join kind=innerunique (
    SecurityEvent
    | where TimeGenerated >= ago(dt_lookBack)
    | extend SE_ipEntity = IpAddress
    | extend SecurityEvent_TimeGenerated = TimeGenerated
  ) on $left.TI_ipEntity == $right.SE_ipEntity

Stage 10: where

| where SecurityEvent_TimeGenerated < ValidUntil

Stage 11: summarize

| summarize arg_max(SecurityEvent_TimeGenerated, *), StartTime = min(SecurityEvent_TimeGenerated), EndTime = max(SecurityEvent_TimeGenerated) by Id, SE_ipEntity

Stage 12: project

| project timestamp = EndTime, StartTime, EndTime, Computer, IpAddress, EventID, Activity, Id, Tags, ValidUntil, Confidence, TI_ipEntity, SE_ipEntity, Type

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.

FieldKindValues

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.
