SIEM Integration Templates

DMARQ publishes a versioned SIEM event envelope for security analytics pipelines. Use it when forwarding webhook events or API-derived posture data to Splunk, Elastic, Microsoft Sentinel, or another JSON-capable SIEM.

Template Endpoint

Administrators can fetch the current template bundle from:

GET /api/v1/integrations/siem/templates

The response contains:

template_version: release date for the template bundle.
schema_version: stable event envelope identifier, currently dmarq.siem.event.v1.
event_schema: JSON Schema for normalized SIEM events.
event_examples: source, compliance-drop, and alert examples.
ingestion_examples: Splunk HEC, Elastic ECS, and Microsoft Sentinel shapes.
config_templates: endpoint and mapping hints for common SIEM ingestion paths.
redaction_guidance: sensitive-field handling rules.

Stable Event Envelope

Every normalized SIEM event uses the same envelope:

{
  "schema_version": "dmarq.siem.event.v1",
  "event_type": "dmarq.compliance.drop",
  "event_id": "dmarq-compliance-drop-20260523-example-com",
  "event_time": "2026-05-23T16:35:00Z",
  "severity": "high",
  "source": {
    "application": "dmarq",
    "instance": "dmarq-preprod",
    "environment": "preprod"
  },
  "entity": {
    "domain": "example.com",
    "sender_ip": null,
    "sender_org": null,
    "reporter": null,
    "alert_rule": "compliance_drop"
  },
  "metrics": {
    "message_count": 1280,
    "aligned_count": 914,
    "failed_count": 366,
    "compliance_rate": 71.41,
    "previous_compliance_rate": 94.8,
    "drop_points": 23.39,
    "missing_days": null
  },
  "alert": {
    "title": "DMARC compliance dropped for example.com",
    "detail": "Compliance fell by 23.39 percentage points in the current window.",
    "status": "active"
  },
  "redaction": {
    "pii_redacted": true,
    "secret_fields_removed": true,
    "raw_report_included": false,
    "notes": "Contains aggregate counts and posture metadata only."
  },
  "links": {
    "domain_url": "https://dmarq.example/domains/example.com",
    "report_url": "https://dmarq.example/domains/example.com/reports"
  },
  "tags": ["email-security", "dmarc", "compliance-drop"],
  "extensions": {}
}

Supported normalized event types are:

dmarq.report.imported
dmarq.sender.new
dmarq.compliance.drop
dmarq.reports.missing
dmarq.alert.created

Splunk HEC

Use the webhook URL for a relay or directly for Splunk HEC when your network allows it:

https://splunk.example:8088/services/collector/event

Send the normalized event as the event field:

{
  "time": 1779554100,
  "host": "dmarq-preprod",
  "source": "dmarq:webhook",
  "sourcetype": "_json",
  "index": "email_security",
  "event": {
    "schema_version": "dmarq.siem.event.v1",
    "event_type": "dmarq.compliance.drop",
    "event_id": "dmarq-compliance-drop-20260523-example-com"
  }
}

Keep the HEC token in Splunk, a receiving proxy, or a secret manager. Do not store Splunk credentials in the DMARQ webhook URL.

Elastic ECS

For Elastic or Logstash, keep the full DMARQ event under dmarq and map common fields to ECS:

{
  "@timestamp": "2026-05-23T16:35:00Z",
  "ecs.version": "8.11.0",
  "event.kind": "alert",
  "event.category": ["email"],
  "event.type": ["info"],
  "event.dataset": "dmarq.siem",
  "observer.vendor": "DMARQ",
  "observer.product": "DMARQ",
  "rule.name": "compliance_drop",
  "host.name": "dmarq-preprod",
  "dmarq": {
    "schema_version": "dmarq.siem.event.v1",
    "event_type": "dmarq.compliance.drop",
    "event_id": "dmarq-compliance-drop-20260523-example-com"
  }
}

Index into a dedicated dataset such as logs-dmarq.email_security-default so retention, dashboards, and alerts can be managed independently from application logs.

Microsoft Sentinel

For Sentinel custom logs, use a protected relay such as Azure Function or Logic App to add Azure credentials and forward the JSON body to a Data Collection Rule stream:

[
  {
    "TimeGenerated": "2026-05-23T16:35:00Z",
    "EventType": "dmarq.compliance.drop",
    "Domain": "example.com",
    "Severity": "high",
    "ComplianceRate": 71.41,
    "PreviousComplianceRate": 94.8,
    "DropPoints": 23.39,
    "DmarqEvent": {
      "schema_version": "dmarq.siem.event.v1",
      "event_type": "dmarq.compliance.drop",
      "event_id": "dmarq-compliance-drop-20260523-example-com"
    }
  }
]

Map TimeGenerated from event_time so KQL queries and scheduled analytics rules use DMARQ's event time instead of relay receipt time.

Redaction Guidance

Forward:

Aggregate counts and compliance rates.
Monitored domains, sender IPs, reporter names, alert rule names, and event IDs.
Links back to DMARQ pages when the receiving SIEM user is authorized to open them.

Do not forward:

Raw aggregate report XML.
Raw RFC 822 mail content or forensic message bodies.
Mailbox credentials, API tokens, webhook signing secrets, authorization headers, or SIEM ingest tokens.
Recipient local-parts, authentication headers, and forensic identifiers unless a separate privacy review approves them.

Use event_id or X-DMARQ-Idempotency-Key for deduplication. Avoid deriving deduplication hashes from raw payloads that may accidentally include sensitive fields.
