Description

Related #993

Rules and data may be represented in different formats. For example, a rule can be written referencing CloudTrail fields, but the incoming data could be OCSF-normalized CloudTrail logs. To bridge this gap, the SRE will support a concept of translating field names between formats.

Sub-Tasks

  • Create model for translations
  • Create translation reader to read translations from a file
  • Wire translations into rule parsing process

Research direction

Start by reading related issue #993, then break the work into the listed model, translation-reader, and rule-parsing tasks. Identify how translations should be represented and read from a file, and consider the work complete when translated field names are applied during rule parsing for cross-format evaluation.
