New:

  • cmdReporter will now automatically rate-limit log events that repeat within a small time frame.
  • Added new "RATE_LIMIT_END_EVENT" that will detail which event was rate limited and how many times it occurred.
  • Execution chain events now have a field (exec_chain.thread_uuid) with a UUID that is constant throughout the execution chain to make correlating events easier.
  • Unified log events are now streamed to cmdReporter instead of collected on an interval.
  • Added ability to send directly to a Splunk HTTPS event collector without the need for a Splunk universal forwarder.
  • Added AWS Kinesis as a remote logging destination.
  • New, more robust methods for collecting file system events with file descriptor, inode location, and more low-level information for forensic analysis.
