[TargetFilePathRegex] Allows tuning for file extensions or paths of sensitive data (e.g., *.xls, *.db, *.pdf).
[ParentProcessFilter] Used to scope monitoring to suspicious parent/child process trees like PowerShell or WMI spawning file reads.

Linux

Adversaries using bash scripts or tools to recursively enumerate user home directories, config files, or SSH keys.

auditd:SYSCALL open auditd:SYSCALL execve
[TimeWindow] Time span to correlate multiple file access events indicative of scripted or bulk access.
[ScriptToolName] List of tools (e.g., `find`, `grep`, `tar`, `scp`) that may be benign but are context-sensitive.

[UserContext] Useful for excluding known admin or scheduled jobs.
[TargetVolume] Focus monitoring on removable drives or external paths.
AN1073 Analytic 1073

[CommandScope] Defines list of configuration or diagnostic commands to monitor.
[AuthenticatedUserList] Helps reduce false positives by whitelisting known admins.

ESXi

Adversaries accessing datastore or configuration files via `vim-cmd`, `esxcli`, or SCP to extract logs, VMs, or host configurations.

esxis:vmkernel Datastore Access esxi:hostd Command Execution
[AccessPathRegex] Regex for filtering targeted VM paths or files like *.vmdk, *.vmx.
