];

Let binding: codeNameList

Stage 2: where

| where MessageType == 0 and Codename in~ (codeNameList)

References codeNameList (defined above).

Stage 3: kusto:lookup

| lookup kind=leftouter SeverityTable on Severity

Stage 4: sort

Stage 5: extend

| extend HostName = tostring(split(Host, '.', 0)[0]), DnsDomain = tostring(strcat_array(array_slice(split(Host, '.'), 1, -1), '.'))

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
Codenamein
  • codeNameList corpus 12 (kusto 12)
MessageTypeeq
  • 0 transforms: cased corpus 15 (kusto 15)

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.
