Resource Attributes

The processed Resources are composed of several attributes, each of which is a data field with its own characteristics. The data fields common to all resources are described below.

Each attribute has both a Label that you see in the ArcSight Console and a unique Script Alias you use to refer to the attribute in filters, rules, or Velocity templates. The Data Type lets you know how to handle the attribute. (See also Resources for information on locked and unlocked resources, and Common Resource Attribute Fields for information on viewing and/or editing these fields in resource editors.)
