Data Dictionary

This document describes the event fields a customer can receive when WitnessAI forwards alert, prompt, and audit data to a configured SIEM destination.

Not every field appears on every event. Field presence depends on the event type, the configured SIEM forwarding options, the AI application, and whether the prompt included files or triggered guardrail results.

1. Delivery Formats

WitnessAI can deliver SIEM events in the following formats:

JSON array: multiple event envelopes in one JSON array.
NDJSON: one event envelope per line.
AWS S3 object: one event envelope per JSON object.

In all formats, the payload uses the same event envelope and inner event fields.

2. Event Envelope

Each SIEM event is wrapped in an envelope. The envelope is the outer object received by the SIEM.

Field	Type	Required	Description	Example
time	integer	No	Unix timestamp in seconds for when the event was emitted.	1716400000
host	string	No	Host value associated with the WitnessAI forwarding environment.	witness-host
source	string	No	Event source name.	witnesssource
sourcetype	string	No	Event source type.	json
index	string	No	Customer-configured SIEM index. Some environments may send “null” if no index is configured.	main
event	object	Yes	Event payload container. Contains prompt or audit.	{ “prompt”: “{…}” }
fields	object	No	Additional event metadata.	{ “request_id”: “…” }

event.prompt and event.audit are JSON-encoded strings. SIEM parsers should parse the string value as JSON to access the inner fields documented below.

3. Event Types

Event Type	Envelope Field	Description
Prompt or alert event	event.prompt	Prompt activity, including alert details when present.
Audit event	event.audit	Administrative or user action audit data.

4. Prompt And Alert Payload

Prompt and alert events are delivered under event.prompt. Alerts use the same prompt payload and include populated risk information in score_cards and, when present, alerts .

The subsections below describe nested parts of the same parsed event.prompt object. They are not separate SIEM events and do not need to be combined manually.

6. Forwarding Configuration Effects

The customer-controlled SIEM configuration determines which payload fields are present.

Setting	Effect On SIEM Payload
Prompt events enabled	Prompt payloads are forwarded.
Alert events enabled	Prompt payloads with alert/risk information are forwarded.
Audit events enabled	Audit payloads are forwarded.
Include sanitized prompt field	Controls whether sanitized can appear.
Include original/desanitized prompt fields	Controls whether input and desanitized can appear.
Include LLM output field	Controls whether llm_output can appear.
JSON lines enabled	Sends one event envelope per line instead of a JSON array.

7. Example Prompt Event

The SIEM envelope contains event.prompt as a JSON-encoded string.


{
    "time": 1716400000,
    "host": "witness-host",
    "source": "witness-source",
    "sourcetype": "json",
    "index": "main",

        "request_id": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001"
    }
}

After parsing event.prompt, a prompt payload can look like this. Alert-enabled prompt events use the same shape; alertspecific details appear in score_cards and, when present, alerts.

            "filter_identifier": "llm-manager"
        },
        {
            "prompt_id": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001",

        }
    ],
    "attachments": [],
    "prompt_metrics": [],
    "tags": []
}

8. Example Attachment Prompt Event

Attachment events use the same event.prompt envelope. Attachment-specific information appears in attachments, prompt_metrics, filter_output, and score_cards.


{
    "time": 1716400000,
    "host": "witness-host",
    "source": "witness-source",
    "sourcetype": "json",
    "index": "main",
    "event": {
        "prompt": "<stringified attachment prompt JSON>"
    },
    "fields": {
        "request_id": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000010"
    }
}

After parsing event.prompt, an attachment prompt payload can look like this:


{
    "id": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000010",
    "conversation_id": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000011",

    }
},
"attachments": [
    {
        "file_id": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000014",
        "file_location": "/attachments/gemini/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000010/example.pdf",
        "file_name": "example.pdf",

        "confidence": 100,
        "data_modified": true,
        "message": "attachments required anonymization",

        "rule_message": "Be careful with sharing sensitive data",
        "rule_result": "warn"
    }
],


    "tags": []
}

9. Example Audit Event

The SIEM envelope contains event.audit as a JSON-encoded string.


{
    "time": 1716400000,
    "host": "witness-host",
    "source": "witness-source",
    "sourcetype": "json",
    "index": "main",
    "event": {
        "audit": "<stringified audit JSON>"
    },
    "fields": {
        "request_id": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000004"
    }
}

After parsing event.audit, an audit payload can look like this:


{
    "id": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000004",
    "initiated_by_type": "access_token",
    "initiated_by_id": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000005",

            "super-admin"
        ],

        "token_type": "access_token"
    },
    "record_name": "policy",
    "record_alias": "policy",
    "record_id": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000006",

    "status": "success",
    "created_at": "2026-05-18T22:00:00Z",
    "updated_at": "2026-05-18T22:00:00Z",
    "metadata": {
        "title": "Global AI Policy",
        "changes": [
            {
                "path": "policy.name",
                "label": "Policy Name added",
                "old": {
                    "value": null
                },

        ]
    }
