Virtual Machine Hosts and ECS

[Micah_Hunsberger]

If I have events coming from a Virtual Machine and want to enrich the events with information about the host it is running on, in ECS, where would I put that information?

For example, the add_host_metadata processor for Beats adds the following information for the VM under host.*, but I'd want to add similar information about the physical machine its running on.

{
   "host":{
      "architecture":"x86_64",
      "name":"example-host",
      "id":"",
      "os":{
         "family":"darwin",
         "build":"16G1212",
         "platform":"darwin",
         "version":"10.12.6",
         "kernel":"16.7.0",
         "name":"Mac OS X"
      },
      "ip": ["192.168.0.1", "10.0.0.1"],
      "mac": ["00:25:96:12:34:56", "72:00:06:ff:79:f1"],
      "geo": {
          "continent_name": "North America",
          "country_iso_code": "US",
          "region_name": "New York",
          "region_iso_code": "NY",
          "city_name": "New York",
          "name": "nyc-dc1-rack1",
          "location": "40.7128, -74.0060"
        }
   }
}
