Alerts from Process Tracker are displayed on the Host page of the Endpoint Security Web UI with the following details:
Alert Type: PRO
Assessment: Malicious Process <md5 hash> Started
The following is an example of a Endpoint Security alert on the Hosts page. The Raw Alerts Details provide the alert information in JSON format.

The data model for this format is a set of interrelated objects, where each object carries attributes related to a specific aspect of the alert. See the following table for the data model object types.
Alert | High level attributes of the alert. |
DigitalSignature | Signature attributes of the file related to the process execution. |
Event | Attributes related to the execution detection. |
File | File information related to the process execution. |
Process | Information related to the process and the parent process. |
Fields in the Process Tracker map into the Raw Alert Details model as follows.
