Hi,

We are trying to create exclusions for one of the new EQL rules - remote execution via file shares  
Within the detection there is no relevent info to base an exclusion, from the timeline we see the events and fields that we would use for a normal exclusion, however using these fields the exclusion does not apply. Any advice on how to build an exclusion for EQL rules that do not have they field/data in the detection alert?

Thanks  
Phil
