<h1>Enrichment</h1>
<p><a name="Enrichment"></a></p>
<div class="section">
<h2><a name="Introduction"></a>Introduction</h2>
<p>The <tt>enrichment</tt> module is a module dedicated to taking the data from the parsers that have been normalized into the Metron data format (e.g. a JSON Map structure with <tt>original_message</tt> and <tt>timestamp</tt>) and</p>
<ul>
<li>Enriching messages with external data from data stores (e.g. hbase) by adding new fields based on existing fields in the messages.</li>
<li>Marking messages as threats based on data in external data stores</li>
<li>Marking threat alerts with a numeric triage level based on a set of Stellar rules.</li>
</ul></div>
<div class="section">
<h2><a name="Deployment_Options"></a>Deployment Options</h2>
<p>There is currently one option for running enrichments in Metron, which is as a Storm topology.</p></div>
<div class="section">
<h2><a name="Submodules"></a>Submodules</h2>
<ul>
<li>metron-enrichment-common - this module houses the prepackaged enrichment configuration by sensor. It also contains the core enrichment and threat intelligence processing functionality.</li>
<li>metron-common-storm - this module is home to Storm-specific code such as Flux files and Storm Bolts.</li>
</ul></div>
<div class="section">
<h2><a name="Enrichments_List"></a>Enrichments List</h2>
<p>Metron provides an HBase table for storing enrichments. The rowkeys are a combination of a salt (for managing RegionServer hotspotting), indicator (this would be the search value, e.g. &#x201c;192.168.1.1&#x201d;), and type (whois, geoip, etc.).</p>
<p>This approach performs well for both inserts and lookups, but poses a challenge when looking to get an up-to-date list of all the current enrichments. This is of particular concern for the Management UI where it&#x2019;s desirable to provide an accurate list of all available enrichment types. A table scan is undesirable because it results in a performance hit for inserts and reads. The alternative approach that mitigates these performance bottlenecks is to leverage a custom HBase Coprocessor which will listen to postPut calls from the RegionServer, extract the enrichment type from the rowkey, and perform an insert into a separate <tt>enrichment_list</tt> HBase table.</p>
<p>See more about configuring the coprocessor here <a href="../metron-hbase-server/index.html#Enrichment_Coprocessor">Enrichment Coprocessor</a></p></div>
