Event
Identifies one or more event types. An event type indicates some type of
network activity or condition. Sometimes, events reported from different
devices and different device types identify the same activity or condition,
and therefore, they map to the same event type within MARS. Event types
are sorted into event groups, such as “Probe/PortSweep/Stealth”, to catch any
of the network conditions identified by the group.
