There's common information model at splunk or the field dictionary of CEF, of arcsight fame.
I would probably use the splunk one, except if you plan to use arcsight at the end.
There was a project by Mitre (https://www.mitre.org/) called the Common
Event Expression (https://cee.mitre.org/) that was going to be the
official standard for metadata names for events, but that project has
been stopped.
Other than the two references that the CEE project has for logging
standardization efforts, does anyone know of any major efforts by any
group to define a standard for metadata naming?
Evan.
