Sean Whalen 2d9a2a2a8f Fix JSON type handling and pre-json field init in SecOps parser
Two CBN behaviors, confirmed against Google's own "How to parse JSON data"
guide (statedump shows JSON true/199 retaining boolean/integer type) and the
published Corelight production parser:

1. The json{} filter preserves the original JSON type, so parsedmarc's boolean
   *_aligned / testing / normalized_timespan and numeric count / *_session_count
   / source_asn would never match string comparisons. Add a mutate{convert} step
   turning them into strings before any == "true"/"false" test or %{...} use.

2. CBN raises _failed_parsing_ when an `if [field]` references a field absent
   from the log, and most detection/mapping fields are absent in 2 of the 3
   report shapes (or null within one). Initialize every conditionally-checked
   field to "" before the json{} filter.

Without these, DMARC-fail records would not be categorized AUTH_VIOLATION and
aggregate/TLS reports could fail parsing outright. README caveat and PR
validation steps updated accordingly.

A screenshot of DMARC summary charts in Kibana

parsedmarc is a Python module and CLI utility for parsing DMARC reports. When used with Elasticsearch and Kibana (or Splunk), it works as a self-hosted open-source alternative to commercial DMARC report processing services such as Agari Brand Protection, Dmarcian, OnDMARC, ProofPoint Email Fraud Defense, and Valimail.

Note

Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) is an email authentication protocol.

Features

  • Parses aggregate/rua DMARC reports: the legacy draft and 1.0 schemas (RFC 7489) and the new RFC 9990 schema for the final DMARC standard (RFC 9989)
  • Parses failure/ruf DMARC reports (RFC 6591 and RFC 9991; formerly called forensic reports)
  • Parses reports from SMTP TLS Reporting (TLS-RPT, RFC 8460)
  • Can parse reports from an inbox over IMAP, Microsoft Graph, or Gmail API
  • Transparently handles gzip or zip compressed reports
  • Consistent data structures
  • Simple JSON and/or CSV output
  • Optionally email the results
  • Optionally send the results to Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, Splunk, or PostgreSQL, for use with premade dashboards
  • Optionally send the results to Apache Kafka, Amazon S3, Azure Log Analytics (Microsoft Sentinel), a Graylog (GELF) endpoint, a syslog server, or an HTTP webhook
