Document differences between events for sync servers and telemetry
We should be explicit about how Santa is designed to interact with sync servers. This interaction is focused on enabling delivery of updated rules and configuration to clients. Logs/telemetry is separate and not currently intended to be streamed to the sync server.
My $0.02 is to add the following definition:
-
Eventsare specific things we want the user / sync service to approve -
Logsare Santa's official record of what it observed and how it responded.
This means that anything we call anEvents is to be managed by the sync service. Logs on the other hand can be ingested by any logging system, SIEM or whatever. A sync service may use logs e.g. to figure out which rules are actually in use but aren't explicitly required.
Thoughts?
