Individual Sensor Enrichments

Hortonworks Cybersecurity Platform (HCP) includes three individual sensor enrichments.

HCP includes the following individual sensor enrichments:

Geo

Provides GeoIP information, which includes coordinates, city, state, and country information, to any external IP address.

Asset

Provides the host name for an IP address. If the IP address is known, then the enrichment provides everything else that is known of the asset from the LDAP, AD, or enterprise inventory stores.

User

Provides the user that owns the session or alert associated with the IP-application pair.

The JSON documents for the individual enrichment configurations are structured as follows:

Table 1. Individual Enrichment Configuration Fields
Field Description Example
fieldToTypeMap In the case of a simple HBase enrichment, you must specify the mapping between fields and the enrichment types associated with those fields. You must also specify the enrichment type for the HBase key.
"fieldToTypeMap" : { 
"ip_src_addr" : [ 
"asset_enrichment" ] }
fieldMap The map of enrichment bolts names to configuration handlers that know how to divide the message. The simplest map is just a list of fields. More complex maps consist of tellar enrichment which provides tellar statements. Each field is sent to the enrichment referenced in the key.
"fieldMap": 
{"hbaseEnrichment": 
["ip_src_addr","ip_dst_addr"]}
config The general configuration of the enrichment.
"config": 
{"typeToColumnFamily": { 
"asset_enrichment" : "cf" } }

The config map contains enrichment-specific configurations. For example, hbaseEnrichment specifies the mappings between the enrichment types to the column families.

The fieldMap contents contain the routing and configuration information for the enrichments. Routing defines how the message is divided and sent to the enrichment adapter bolts. The simplest fieldMapcontents provides a simple list, such as the following
 "fieldMap": {
      "geo": [
        "ip_src_addr",
        "ip_dst_addr"
      ],
      "host": [
        "ip_src_addr",
        "ip_dst_addr"
      ],
      "hbaseEnrichment": [
        "ip_src_addr",
        "ip_dst_addr"
      ]
      }

Based on this sample configuration, both ip_src_addr and ip_dst_addr go to the geo, host, and hbaseEnrichment adapter bolts.
