Supported Fields for Conditions and Outputs

Events fields that you can use in conditions and outputs of Falco Rules

Here are the fields supported by Falco. These fields can be used in the condition key of a Falco rule and well as the output key. Any fields included in the output key of a rule will also be included in the alert's output_fields object when json_output is set to true.

You can also see this set of fields via falco --list=<source>, with <source> being one of the Falco event sources.

System Calls (source `syscall`)

syscall event source fields are provided by the Falco Drivers. See the supported events documentation to learn about all the available event types. The field evt.arg, evt.args and evt.rawarg is used to access arguments for each event. For example, in order to access the target arg of a symlinkat exit event you can use evt.arg.target.

# System Kernel Fields
$ falco --list=syscall
