log4j Macros

Hello,

This article, https://research.splunk.com/stories/log4shell_cve-2021-44228/ , lists many log4j attack vectors and how Splunk can help detect them. This includes what datamodels to implement/use and the SPL. However, the SPL includes various macros. And these macros do not exist on my Splunk implementation. Where do I find these macros?

Thanks and God bless,
Genesius

Hi @genesiusj 

 

do you have installed Enterprise security on your splunk istance?

No, we don't have ES installed.

Thanks and God bless,
