Alertis_alertBoolean

Group:primary
Indicates that the event is considered to be an alertable signal. Should be set to true if disposition_id = Alert among other dispositions, and/or risk_level_id or severity_id of the event is elevated. Not all control events will be alertable, for example if disposition_id = Exonerated or disposition_id = Allowed.

Source/Destination Assignment Knownis_src_dst_assignment_knownBoolean

Group:primary
true denotes that src_endpoint and dst_endpoint correctly identify the initiator and responder respectively. false denotes that the event source has arbitrarily assigned one peer to src_endpoint and the other to dst_endpoint, in other words that initiator and responder are not being asserted. This can occur, for example, when the event source is a network appliance that has not observed the initiation of a given connection. In the absence of this attribute, interpretation of the initiator and responder is implementation-specific.
