Section attributes

Specify dictionary with event's MAC attributes to search the lookup for, such as MAC1. Inside the dictionary, mention the attribute name in the event for the detected vendor to be stored in. For example:

  MAC1:
    detectedVendor1

will search the Mac Vendor lookup for MAC stored event["MAC1"], load the vendor to event["detectedVendor1"], if successfully looked up.

Lookup files

MAC Vendor enricher lookup files are based on OUI standard: standards-oui.ieee.org/oui.txt

The files are stored in the default path directory (/lookups/macvendor), which can be overridden in configuration:

[lookup:lmio_mac_vendor]
path=...

lmio_mac_vendor is the provided lookup ID in the enricher definition, which defaults to lmio_mac_vendor
