  • CustomerVar* must not be used out of the box as they are reserved for customer use. Many customers are already using them. We'd need new fields for the labels.

    Generally speaking, it is the purpose of a SIEM to normalize data to its schema. So if we already have a native field that matches the semantics of the date being send by an event source, then that native field must be used instead of CEFCustom*.
