Data Forwarder Schema

Introduction

This document describes the available data schemas that the data forwarder can forward today and the fields each schema contains.

If you have not created a Data Forwarder see the Data Forwarder Configuration API Documentation or check out the Carbon Black Cloud User Guide - Settings - Data Forwarders for how to create one in the Carbon Black Cloud console.

For setting up the AWS S3 bucket, bucket policy, bucket encryption and more check out the Integrations > Data Forwarder page.

Basic data types such as “int” and “string” map directly to the corresponding JSON data types. Additional data types are described below:

Base64 - JSON string containing base64 encoded binary data.
Ipaddr - JSON string containing canonically formatted IPv4 or IPv6 address.
Datetime - JSON string containing ISO 8601 date/time format. If no time zone is included, UTC is assumed. All timestamps emitted by the Data Forwarder are sent in ISO 8601 format.
String enum - JSON string containing the stringified version of the enum from the relevant protobuf field, with the common prefix stripped off. For example, “BLOCK”.
String enum bitmask - Same as above, but for bitmask input fields, add OR " | " markers between each set bit. For example, for a CbFileAction of 0x300 would be “OPEN_READ | OPEN_WRITE”.
