Detection logic
Condition
id.applicationName eq "admin"
name eq "CHANGE_APPLICATION_SETTING"
parameters.APPLICATION_NAME eq "gmail"
parameters.NEW_VALUE eq "true"
parameters.SETTING_NAME eq "DelayedDeliverySettingsProto disable_delayed_delivery_for_suspicious_email"
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 |
|---|---|---|
id.applicationName | eq |
|
name | eq |
|
parameters.APPLICATION_NAME | eq |
|
parameters.NEW_VALUE | eq |
|
parameters.SETTING_NAME | eq |
|
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.
