Hello

Referring to t[his blog post](https://www.elastic.co/blog/detecting-log4j2-with-elastic-security?ultron=log4js-exploit&blade=announcement&hulk=email&mkt_tok=ODEzLU1BTS0zOTIAAAGBU8N1ZDYRbFq2QZ4ZK8tc2IbDatArsdI6WGcA2M90g4v02svJeqCXFeZ23R4TjeYii4KBGAkqMBgWc5IkxYrmefgwZBanjGQh8v66drUymiVSQFvs) I am trying to configure the auditbeat detection rule in Kibana 7.16.1 as a new event correlation rule.

However when I past the rule into the EQL form this error is reported:

```auto
verification_exception: Found 1 problem line 13:3: Unknown column [process.parent.name], did you mean any of [process.thread.name, process.name, process.thread.id, process.uptime, process.args, process.entity_id, process.executable, process.hash.md5, process.hash.sha1, process.start, process.title, user_agent.name]?

```

Could you, please, provide me a hint to solve this issue?

Best regards  
Flemming

I was also unable to use that query. Auditbeat doesnt index the process parent info..
