Summary

Add a new event category allowed value, configuration. The category is aimed at classifying configuration events from applications, processes, or systems.

Discussion Points

  • Any feedback on the description for configuration?
  • I have added these allowed event.types as a starting point. Feedback welcome on additions or subtractions here:
- access
- change
- creation
- deletion
- info

Closes #799

I think thats a pretty solid start @ebeahan, probably need to go thru a few examples to make sure theres nothing obvious that we'd be painting ourselves into a corner with

Hi all,
I have reviewed the windows event's categorization. Many of them initially falled into the iam categorization since the configuration category didin't exists.
Some of the events below are from elastic/beats#20684, that specifically targets audit and policy change.

	"4713": ["iam","admin","kerberos-policy-changed"] ->  ["configuration","change","kerberos-policy-changed"]
	"4715": ["iam","admin","sacl-policy-changed"] -> ["configuration","change","sacl-policy-changed"]
	"4719": ["iam","admin","audit-config-changed"] ->  ["configuration","change","audit-config-changed"]
	"4739": ["iam","change","domain-policy-changed"] -> ["configuration","change","domain-policy-changed"]
	"4817": ["iam","admin","object-audit-changed"] -> ["configuration","change","object-audit-changed"]
	"4906": ["iam","admin","crash-on-audit-changed"] -> ["configuration","change","crash-on-audit-changed"]
	"4907": ["iam","admin","audit-setting-changed"] -> ["configuration","change","audit-setting-changed"]
	"4912": ["iam","admin","audit-policy-changed"] -> ["configuration","change","audit-policy-changed"]
	"4706": ["iam","admin","trust-created"] -> ["configuration","creation","trust-created"]
	"4707": ["iam","admin","trust-deleted"] -> ["configuration","deletion","trust-deleted"]
	"4716": ["iam","admin","trust-modified"] ->  ["configuration","change","trust-modified"]

and ones bellow will fall in multiple categories: iam and configuration

	"4700": ["iam","change","scheduled-task-enabled"],["configuration","creation","scheduled-task-enabled"],
	"4701": ["iam","change","scheduled-task-disabled"],["configuration","delete","scheduled-task-disabled"]
	"4702": ["iam","change","scheduled-task-updated"],["configuration","change","scheduled-task-updated"]
	"4902": ["iam","admin","user-audit-policy-created"],["configuration","creation","user-audit-policy-created"]
	"4904": ["iam","admin","security-event-source-added"],["configuration","creation","security-event-source-added"],
	"4905": ["iam","admin","security-event-source-removed"],["configuration","deletion","security-event-source-removed"]
	"4908": ["iam","admin","special-group-table-changed"],["configuration","change","special-group-table-changed"],
	"4718": ["iam","admin","system-security-access-removed"],["configuration","deletion","system-security-access-removed"]

I have more examples from Oracle and Fortinet with the same categorization and event types of Windows events, if it is useful, please let me know.
Finally two more in order to provide examples of the event.type: "info" and event.type: "access"

  • Oracle Audit events containing in SQL_TEXT "SELECT * from dba_stmt_audit_opts" or "SELECT * from dba_profiles" (just two examples) falls into event.category: "configuration" and event.type:"access"
  • Fortinet event 32144 - LOG_ID_BACKUP_CONF_ERROR (System configuration backed up error) that falls into event.category: "configuration" and event.type:"info"

Regards!

* [1.x] Move _meta section back inside mappings, in legacy templates. (elastic#1186) (elastic#1187)

Backports the following commits to 1.x:

* Move _meta section back inside mappings, in legacy templates. (elastic#1186) 

This fixes an issue introduced by elastic#1156, discovered in elastic#1180. Composable templates support `_meta` at the template's root, but legacy templates don't. So we're just putting it back inside the mappings for legacy templates.

This also fixes missing updates to the component template, after the introduction of wildcard in elastic#1098.
