How can I handle the case where I want to apply multiple CIM models to my sourcetype but 2 CIMs have the same field but have different meaning (as in they would be evaled from different fields)?
The basic principle is: do not modify the CIM so your options are limited; you can:
A: Use a similar field that is supported such as src_ip
or src_name
.
B: Duplicate the event and send the original with one field mapping to one data model and the duplicate with the other mapping to the other data model. Your options here are: B1: summary index
or B2: CLONE_SOURCETYPE
.

I think you are toast but am curious about the particulars. What are the source/sourcetype of your event and what 2 datamodels and what field (I assume the field is action
)?
I'm trying to map one of our internal events to the Alert and Network Traffic CIM models because it contains information relevant to both models. I'm interested in the src field of both models but src means different things in both models so the source values needs to be different. Is there any way to handle that case?
