[System.auth] Adding ECS category fields #6550

@jamiehynds

Description

@jamiehynds

The system.auth data stream within the System integration, does not map events to event.category and event.action, making it difficult to differentiate between process and authentication events. If we had them, it would make building security rules for logs from linux systems easier, e.g. event.category:session AND event.action:logged-on AND threshold count > 10.

Examples:

Jun 9 08:34:42 hostname sudo: pam_unix(sudo:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)

event.category would be session; event.action would be logged-on

Jun 9 08:34:42 hostname sudo: pam_unix(sudo:session): session closed for user root

event.category would be session; event.action would be logged-off

Jun 9 08:34:42 hostname sudo: oracle-cloud-agent : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/var/lib/oracle-cloud-agent ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/bin/systemctl is-active unified-monitoring-agent.service

event category would be process
