Comment (by yoann):

 Thanks for this contribution!

 Here are a few comments concerning the ruleset. Once the following issues
 are discussed and/or fixed, we will be able to include this ruleset within
 the LML distribution.

  * In case the software might report Ipv6 attack, it would be best to
 match the IP address using (\S+), and leaving address.category unspecified
 (Prelude-Manager Normalizer will take care of setting it appropriately).

  * In the ruleset regexp, the ''INFO'' keyword is matched: Is it part of
 Rishi logging (and not the system logger) and won't this change depending
 on the user logging configuration?

  * The "Value" look like some sort of severity, would using a separate
 rule to match it and set alert.assessment.impact.severity (or maybe
 alert.assessment.impact.confidence) be appropriate?

  * Instead of setting the nickname within AdditionalData, did you
 investigate whether setting it within source/target User/UserID (with
 category set to application) be appropriate?

  * Not sure about the analyzer class, wouldn't NIDS fit ?

  * analyzer.name should be set to Rishi (currently doesn't use an
 uppercase, but the project name does).

 Hope this help,
