Response Code [7.2]

The explicit and well-defined response code for an action or command in a log. Response Code differs from Result in that response code should be well structured and easily identifiable as a code.

This field is not available in LogRhythm versions earlier than 7.2.1.

Usage Standards

  • Response Code should be industry standard. If it is a vendor standard, use VMID.
  • If the value is unstructured text, use Result instead.
  • This supplants VMID completely for parsing HTTP and SMTP response codes. In other words, VMID should be tied to a vendor while HTTP codes are an independent standard.
  • This field can be extended to non-IT industry response codes. For example, credit card response codes if ATM or POS logs are parsed, and ICS/SCADA-specific protocols.
