Common Section
--------------

All the JSON log types share a common structure:

::


  {"timestamp":"2009-11-24T21:27:09.534255","flow_id":ID_NUMBER, "event_type":"TYPE", ...tuple... ,"TYPE":{ ... type specific content ... }}

Field: flow_id
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Correlates the network protocol,  flow logs EVE data and any evidence that
Suricata has logged to an ``alert`` event and that alert's metadata, as well as
to ``fileinfo``/file transaction and anomaly logs, if available. The same correlation
and logs are produced regardless if there is an alert, for any session/flow.

The ability to correlate EVE logs belonging to a specific session/flow was
introduced in 2014 (see `commit f1185d051c21 <https://github.com/OISF/suricata/
commit/f1185d051c210ca0daacdddbe865a51af24f4ea3>`_).

Further below, you can see several examples of events logged by Suricata: an
:ref:`alert<eve-format-alert>` for an ``HTTP`` rule, ``fileinfo``, :ref:`http<eve-format-http>`,
:ref:`anomaly<eve-format-anomaly>`, and :ref:`flow<eve-format-flow>` events, all
easily correlated using the ``flow_id`` EVE field::

.. note::
   It is possible to have even more detailed alert records, by enabling for
   instance logging http-body, or alert metadata (:ref:`alert output<eve-output-alert>`).

Examples come from pcap found at https://app.any.run/tasks/ce7ca983-9e4b-4251-a7c3-fefa3da02ebe/.


Event types
~~~~~~~~~~~

The common part has a field "event_type" to indicate the log type.

::


  "event_type":"TYPE"

When an application layer protocol event is detected, the common section will
have an ``app_proto`` field.

::

    "app_proto": "http"


PCAP fields
~~~~~~~~~~~

If Suricata is processing a pcap file, additional fields are added:

::

    "pcap_cnt": 123

``pcap_cnt`` contains the packet number in the pcap. This can be used to look
up a packet in Wireshark for example.

::

    "pcap_filename":"/path/to/file.pcap"

``pcap_filename`` contains the file name and location of the pcap that
generated the event.

.. note:: the pcap fields are only available on "real" packets, and are
          omitted from internal "pseudo" packets such as flow timeout
          packets.

.. _eve-format-alert:

Event type: Alert
-----------------

This field contains data about a signature that matched, such as
``signature_id`` (``sid`` in the rule) and the ``signature`` (``msg`` in the
rule).

It can also contain information about Source and Target of the attack in the
``alert.source`` and ``alert.target`` field if target keyword is used in
the signature.

This event will also have the ``pcap_cnt`` field, when running in pcap mode, to
indicate which packet triggered the signature.

::

  "alert": {
    "action": "allowed",
    "gid": 1,
    "signature_id": 2024056,
    "rev": 4,
    "signature": "ET MALWARE Win32/CryptFile2 / Revenge Ransomware Checkin M3",

        "Major"
      ],
      "updated_at": [
        "2020_08_04"
      ]
    }
  },

Action field
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Possible values: "allowed" and "blocked".

Example:

::

  "action":"allowed"

Action is set to "allowed" unless a rule used the "drop" action and Suricata is
in IPS mode, or when the rule used the "reject" action. It is important to note
that this does not necessarily indicate the final verdict for a given packet or
flow, since one packet may match on several rules.

.. _verdict-alert:

Verdict
~~~~~~~

An object containning info on the final action that will be applied to a given
packet, based on all the signatures triggered by it and other possible events
(e.g., a flow drop). For that reason, it is possible for an alert with
an action ``allowed`` to have a verdict ``drop``, in IPS mode, for instance, if
that packet was dropped due to a different alert.

* Action: ``alert``, ``pass``, ``drop`` (this latter only occurs in IPS mode)
* Reject-target: ``to_server``, ``to_client``, ``both`` (only occurs for 'reject' rules)
* Reject: an array of strings with possible reject types: ``tcp-reset``,
  ``icmp-prohib`` (only occurs for 'reject' rules)

Example:

::

    "verdict": {
       "action": "drop",
       "reject-target": "to_client",
       "reject": "[icmp-prohib]"
     }


Pcap Field
~~~~~~~~~~

If pcap log capture is active in `multi` mode, a `capture_file` key will be added to the event
with value being the full path of the pcap file where the corresponding packets
have been extracted.

.. _eve-format-anomaly:

Event type: Anomaly
-------------------

Events with type "anomaly" report unexpected conditions such as truncated
packets, packets with invalid values, events that render the packet invalid
for further processing or unexpected behaviors.

Networks which experience high occurrences of anomalies may experience packet
processing degradation when anomaly logging is enabled.

Fields
~~~~~~

* "type": Either "decode", "stream" or "applayer". In rare cases, type will be
  "unknown". When this occurs, an additional field named "code" will be
  present. Events with type
  "applayer" are detected by the application layer parsers.
* "event" The name of the anomalous event. Events of type "decode" are prefixed
  with "decoder"; events of type "stream" are prefixed with "stream".
* "code" If "type" is "unknown", than "code" contains the unrecognized event
  code. Otherwise, this field is not present.

The following field is included when "type" has the value "applayer":

* "layer" Indicates the handling layer that detected the event. This will be
  "proto_parser" (protocol parser), "proto_detect" (protocol detection) or
  "parser."

When ``packethdr`` is enabled, the first 32 bytes of the packet are included
as a byte64-encoded blob in the main part of record. This applies to events
of "type" "packet" or "stream" only.

Event type: HTTP
----------------

Fields
~~~~~~

* "hostname": The hostname this HTTP event is attributed to
* "url": URL at the hostname that was accessed
* "http_user_agent": The user-agent of the software that was used
* "http_content_type": The type of data returned (ex: application/x-gzip)
* "cookie"

In addition to these fields, if the extended logging is enabled in the
suricata.yaml file the following fields are (can) also included:

* "length": The content size of the HTTP body
* "status": HTTP status code
* "protocol": Protocol / Version of HTTP (ex: HTTP/1.1)
* "http_method": The HTTP method (ex: GET, POST, HEAD)
* "http_refer": The referer for this action

In addition to the extended logging fields one can also choose to enable/add
from more than 50 additional custom logging HTTP fields enabled in the
suricata.yaml file. The additional fields can be enabled as following:

::


    - eve-log:
        enabled: yes
        type: file #file|syslog|unix_dgram|unix_stream
        filename: eve.json
        # the following are valid when type: syslog above
        #identity: "suricata"
        #facility: local5
        #level: Info ## possible levels: Emergency, Alert, Critical,
                     ## Error, Warning, Notice, Info, Debug
        types:
          - alert
          - http:
              extended: yes     # enable this for extended logging information
              # custom allows additional http fields to be included in eve-log
              # the example below adds three additional fields when uncommented
              #custom: [Accept-Encoding, Accept-Language, Authorization]
              custom: [accept, accept-charset, accept-encoding, accept-language,
              accept-datetime, authorization, cache-control, cookie, from,
              max-forwards, origin, pragma, proxy-authorization, range, te, via,
              x-requested-with, dnt, x-forwarded-proto, accept-range, age,
              allow, connection, content-encoding, content-language,
              content-length, content-location, content-md5, content-range,
              content-type, date, etags, expires, last-modified, link, location,
              proxy-authenticate, referer, refresh, retry-after, server,
              set-cookie, trailer, transfer-encoding, upgrade, vary, warning,
              www-authenticate, x-flash-version, x-authenticated-user]


The benefits here of using the extended logging is to see if this action for
example was a POST or perhaps if a download of an executable actually returned
any bytes.

It is also possible to dump every header for HTTP requests/responses or both
via the keyword ``dump-all-headers``.


Examples
~~~~~~~~

Event with non-extended logging:

::


  "http": {
      "hostname": "www.digip.org",
      "url" :"\/jansson\/releases\/jansson-2.6.tar.gz",
      "http_user_agent": "<User-Agent>",
      "http_content_type": "application\/x-gzip"
  }

In case the hostname shows a port number, such as in case there is a header "Host: www.test.org:1337":

::


  "http": {
      "http_port": 1337,
      "hostname": "www.test.org",
      "url" :"\/this\/is\/test.tar.gz",
      "http_user_agent": "<User-Agent>",
      "http_content_type": "application\/x-gzip"
  }



Event with extended logging:

::


  "http": {
      "hostname": "direkte.vg.no",
      "url":".....",
      "http_user_agent": "<User-Agent>",
      "http_content_type": "application\/json",
      "http_refer": "http:\/\/www.vg.no\/",
      "http_method": "GET",
      "protocol": "HTTP\/1.1",
      "status":"200",
      "length":310
  }

Event with ``dump-all-headers`` set to "both":

::

  "http": {
      "hostname": "test.co.uk",
      "url":"\/test\/file.json",
      "http_user_agent": "<User-Agent>",
      "http_content_type": "application\/json",
      "http_refer": "http:\/\/www.test.com\/",
      "http_method": "GET",
      "protocol": "HTTP\/1.1",
      "status":"200",
      "length":310,
      "request_headers": [
          {
              "name": "User-Agent",
              "value": "Wget/1.13.4 (linux-gnu)"
          },
          {
              "name": "Accept",
              "value": "*/*"
          },
      ],
      "response_headers": [
          {
              "name": "Date",
              "value": "Wed, 25 Mar 2015 15:40:41 GMT"
          },
      ]
  }


Event type: DNS
---------------

A new version of dns logging has been introduced to improve how dns answers
are logged.

With that new version, dns answers are logged in one event
rather than an event for each answer.

It's possible to customize how a dns answer will be logged with the following
formats:

* "detailed": "rrname", "rrtype", "rdata" and "ttl" fields are logged for each answer
* "grouped": answers logged are aggregated by their type (A, AAAA, NS, ...)

It will be still possible to use the old DNS logging format, you can control it
with "version" option in dns configuration section.

Fields
~~~~~~

Outline of fields seen in the different kinds of DNS events:

* "type": Indicating DNS message type, can be "answer" or "query".
* "id": Identifier field
* "version": Indicating DNS logging version in use
* "flags": Indicating DNS answer flag, in hexadecimal (ex: 8180 , please note 0x is not output)
* "qr": Indicating in case of DNS answer flag, Query/Response flag (ex: true if set)
* "aa": Indicating in case of DNS answer flag, Authoritative Answer flag (ex: true if set)
* "tc": Indicating in case of DNS answer flag, Truncation flag (ex: true if set)
* "rd": Indicating in case of DNS answer flag, Recursion Desired flag (ex: true if set)
* "ra": Indicating in case of DNS answer flag, Recursion Available flag (ex: true if set)
* "z": Indicating in case of DNS answer flag, Reserved bit (ex: true if set)
* "rcode": (ex: NOERROR)
* "rrname": Resource Record Name (ex: a domain name)
* "rrtype": Resource Record Type (ex: A, AAAA, NS, PTR)
* "rdata": Resource Data (ex: IP that domain name resolves to)
* "ttl": Time-To-Live for this resource record

More complex DNS record types may log additional fields for resource data:

* "soa": Section containing fields for the SOA (start of authority) record type

  * "mname": Primary name server for this zone
  * "rname": Authority's mailbox
  * "serial": Serial version number
  * "refresh": Refresh interval (seconds)
  * "retry": Retry interval (seconds)
  * "expire": Upper time limit until zone is no longer authoritative (seconds)
  * "minimum": Minimum ttl for records in this zone (seconds)

* "sshfp": section containing fields for the SSHFP (ssh fingerprint) record type

  * "fingerprint": Hex format of the fingerprint (ex: ``12:34:56:78:9a:bc:de:...``)
  * "algo": Algorithm number (ex: 1 for RSA, 2 for DSS)
  * "type": Fingerprint type (ex: 1 for SHA-1)

* "srv": section containing fields for the SRV (location of services) record type

  * "target": Domain name of the target host (ex: ``foo.bar.baz``)
  * "priority": Target priority (ex: 20)
  * "weight": Weight for target selection (ex: 1)
  * "port": Port on this target host of this service (ex: 5060)

Event type: MQTT
----------------

EVE-JSON output for MQTT consists of one object per MQTT transaction, with some common and various type-specific fields.

Transactions
~~~~~~~~~~~~

A single MQTT communication can consist of multiple messages that need to be exchanged between broker and client.
For example, some actions at higher QoS levels (> 0) usually involve a combination of requests and acknowledgement
messages that are linked by a common identifier:

   * ``CONNECT`` followed by ``CONNACK``
   * ``PUBLISH`` followed by ``PUBACK`` (QoS 1) or ``PUBREC``/``PUBREL``/``PUBCOMP`` (QoS 2)
   * ``SUBSCRIBE`` followed by ``SUBACK``
   * ``UNSUBSCRIBE`` followed by ``UNSUBACK``

The MQTT parser merges individual messages into one EVE output item if they belong to one transaction. In such cases,
the source and destination information (IP/port) reflect the direction of the initial request, but contain messages
from both sides.

Example for a PUBLISH at QoS 2:

::

  {
    "timestamp": "2020-05-19T18:00:39.016985+0200",
    "flow_id": 1454127794305760,

    "src_port": 60105,
    "dest_ip": "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001",
    "dest_port": 1883,
    "proto": "TCP",
    "mqtt": {
      "publish": {
        "qos": 2,
        "retain": false,
        "dup": false,
        "topic": "house/bulbs/bulb1",
        "message_id": 3,
        "message": "OFF"
      },
      "pubrec": {
        "qos": 0,
        "retain": false,
        "dup": false,
        "message_id": 3
      },
      "pubrel": {
        "qos": 1,
        "retain": false,
        "dup": false,
        "message_id": 3
      },
      "pubcomp": {
        "qos": 0,
        "retain": false,
        "dup": false,
        "message_id": 3
      }
    }
  }

Note that some message types (aka control packet types), such as ``PINGREQ`` and ``PINGRESP``, have no type-specific
data, nor do they have information that facilitate grouping into transactions. These will be logged as single items
and only contain the common fields listed below.

Truncated MQTT data
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Messages exceeding the maximum message length limit (config setting ``app-layer.protocols.mqtt.max-msg-length``)
will not be parsed entirely to reduce the danger of denial of service issues. In such cases, only reduced
metadata will be included in the EVE-JSON output. Furthermore, since no message ID is parsed, such messages
can not be placed into transactions, hence, they will always appear as a single transaction.

These truncated events will -- besides basic communication metadata -- only contain the following
fields:

* "truncated": Set to `true` if the entry is truncated.
* "skipped_length": Size of the original message.

Example of a truncated MQTT PUBLISH message (with 10000 being the maximum length):

::

  {
    "timestamp": "2020-06-23T16:25:48.729785+0200",

        "retain": false,
        "dup": false,
        "truncated": true,
        "skipped_length": 100011
      }

Event type: HTTP2
-----------------

Fields
~~~~~~

There are the two fields "request" and "response" which can each contain the same set of fields :
* "settings": a list of settings with "name" and "value"
* "headers": a list of headers with either "name" and "value", or "table_size_update", or "error" if any
* "error_code": the error code from GOAWAY or RST_STREAM, which can be "NO_ERROR"
* "priority": the stream priority.

        }
      ]
    }
  }

Event type: PGSQL
-----------------

PGSQL eve-logs reflect the bidirectional nature of the protocol transactions.
Each PGSQL event lists at most one "Request" message field and one or more
"Response" messages.

The PGSQL parser merges individual messages into one EVE output item if they
belong to the same transaction. In such cases, the source and destination
information (IP/port) reflect the direction of the initial request, but contain
messages from both sides.

Example of ``pgsql`` event for a SimpleQuery transaction complete with request
with a ``SELECT`` statement and its response::

  {
    "timestamp": "2021-11-24T16:56:24.403417+0000",
    "flow_id": 1960113262002448,
    "pcap_cnt": 780,
    "event_type": "pgsql",
    "src_ip": "172.18.0.1",
    "src_port": 54408,
    "dest_ip": "172.18.0.2",
    "dest_port": 5432,
    "proto": "TCP",
    "pgsql": {
      "tx_id": 4,
      "request": {
        "simple_query": "select * from rule limit 5000;"
      },
      "response": {
        "field_count": 7,
        "data_rows": 5000,
        "data_size": 3035751,
        "command_completed": "SELECT 5000"
      }
    }
  }

While on the wire PGSQL messages follow basically two types (startup messages
and regular messages), those may have different subfields and/or meanings, based
on the message type. Messages are logged based on their type and relevant fields.

We list a few possible message types and what they mean in Suricata. For more
details on message types and formats as well as what each message and field mean
for PGSQL, check `PostgreSQL's official documentation <https://www.postgresql.org
/docs/14/protocol-message-formats.html>`_.

Fields
~~~~~~

* "tx_id": internal transaction id.
* "request":  each PGSQL transaction may have up to one request message. The
  possible messages will be described in another section.
* "response": even when there are several "Response" messages, there is one
  ``response`` field that summarizes all responses for that transaction. The
  possible messages will be described in another section.

Request Messages
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Requests are sent by the frontend (client), which would be the source of a pgsql
flow. Some of the possible request messages are:

* "startup_message": message sent to start a new PostgreSQL connection
* "password_message": if password output for PGSQL is enabled in suricata.yaml,
  carries the password sent during Authentication phase
* "simple_query": issued SQL command during simple query subprotocol. PostgreSQL
  identifies specific sets of commands that change the set of expected messages
  to be exchanged as subprotocols.
* ``"message": "cancel_request"``: sent after a query, when the frontend
  attempts to cancel said query. This message is sent over a different port,
  thus bring shown as a different flow. It has no direct answer from the
  backend, but if successful will lead to an ``ErrorResponse`` in the
  transaction where the query was sent.
* "message": requests which do not have meaningful payloads are logged like this,
  where the field value is the message type

There are several different authentication messages possible, based on selected
authentication method. (e.g. the SASL authentication will have a set of
authentication messages different from when ``md5`` authentication is chosen).

Response Messages
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Responses are sent by the backend (server), which would be the destination of a
pgsql flow. Some of the possible request messages are:

* "authentication_sasl_final": final SCRAM ``server-final-message``, as explained
  at https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/sasl-authentication.html#SASL-SCRAM-SHA-256
* "message": Backend responses which do not have meaningful payloads are logged
  like this, where the field value is the message type
* "error_response"
* "notice_response"
* "notification_response"
* "authentication_md5_password": a string with the ``md5`` salt value
* "parameter_status": logged as an array
* "backend_key_data"
* "data_rows": integer. When one or many ``DataRow`` messages are parsed, the
  total returned rows
* "data_size": in bytes. When one or many ``DataRow`` messages are parsed, the
  total size in bytes of the data returned
* "command_completed": string. Informs the command just completed by the backend
* "ssl_accepted": bool. With this event, the initial PGSQL SSL Handshake
  negotiation is complete in terms of tracking and logging. The session will be
  upgraded to use TLS encryption

Examples
~~~~~~~~

The two ``pgsql`` events in this example represent a rejected ``SSL handshake``
and a following connection request where the authentication method indicated by
the backend was ``md5``::

        "authentication_md5_password": "Z\\xdc\\xfdf"
      }
    }
  }

``AuthenticationOk``: a response indicating that the connection was successfully
established.::

  {
    "pgsql": {
      "tx_id": 3,
      "response": {
        "message": "authentication_ok",
        "parameter_status": [
          {

          },
          {

          },
          {
            "server_version": "13.6 (Debian 13.6-1.pgdg110+1)"
          },
          {
            "session_authorization": "rules"
          },
          {
            "standard_conforming_strings": "on"
          },
          {
            "time_zone": "Etc/UTC"
          }
        ],
        "process_id": 28954,
        "secret_key": 889887985
      }
    }
  }

.. note::
   In Suricata, the ``AuthenticationOk`` message is also where the backend's
   ``process_id`` and ``secret_key`` are logged. These must be sent by the
   frontend when it issues a ``CancelRequest`` message (seen below).

A ``CancelRequest`` message::

   {
      "timestamp": "2023-12-07T15:46:56.971150+0000",
      "flow_id": 775771889500133,
      "event_type": "pgsql",
      "src_ip": "100.88.2.140",
      "src_port": 39706,
      "dest_ip": "100.96.199.113",
      "dest_port": 5432,
      "proto": "TCP",
      "pkt_src": "stream (flow timeout)",
      "pgsql": {
        "tx_id": 1,
        "request": {
          "message": "cancel_request",
          "process_id": 28954,
          "secret_key": 889887985
        }
      }
   }

.. note::
   As the ``CancelRequest`` message is sent over a new connection, the way to
   correlate it with the proper frontend/flow from which it originates is by
   querying on ``process_id`` and ``secret_key`` seen in the
   ``AuthenticationOk`` event.

Event type: IKE
---------------

The parser implementations for IKEv1 and IKEv2 have a slightly different feature
set. They can be distinguished using the "version_major" field (which equals
either 1 or 2).
The unique properties are contained within a separate "ikev1" and "ikev2" sub-object.

Fields
~~~~~~

* "init_spi", "resp_spi": The Security Parameter Index (SPI) of the initiator and responder.
* "version_major": Major version of the ISAKMP header.
* "version_minor": Minor version of the ISAKMP header.
* "payload": List of payload types in the current packet.
* "exchange_type": Type of the exchange, as numeric values.
* "exchange_type_verbose": Type of the exchange, in human-readable form. Needs ``extended: yes`` set in the ``ike`` EVE output option.
* "alg_enc", "alg_hash", "alg_auth", "alg_dh", "alg_esn": Properties of the chosen security association by the server.
* "ikev1.encrypted_payloads": Set to ``true`` if the payloads in the packet are encrypted.
* "ikev1.doi": Value of the domain of interpretation (DOI).
* "ikev1.server.key_exchange_payload", "ikev1.client.key_exchange_payload": Public key exchange payloads of the server and client.
* "ikev1.server.key_exchange_payload_length", "ikev1.client.key_exchange_payload_length": Length of the public key exchange payload.
* "ikev1.server.nonce_payload", "ikev1.client.nonce_payload": Nonce payload of the server and client.
* "ikev1.server.nonce_payload_length", "ikev1.client.nonce_payload_length": Length of the nonce payload.
* "ikev1.client.client_proposals": List of the security associations proposed to the server.
* "ikev1.vendor_ids": List of the vendor IDs observed in the communication.
* "server_proposals": List of server proposals with parameters, if there are more than one. This is a non-standard case; this field is only present if such a situation was observed in the inspected traffic.
