Create style guide for EventData contents
Points to cover:
- What level of meaning to aim for in eventdata vs formatter (bool/string)
- Naming conventions
Make changes to codebase after guide is completed:
- is_friend in plaso/parsers/sqlite_plugins/tango_android.py
Some more points to address:
- storing binary data
- storing data as-is or e.g. int representing a boolean or converting to Python types first
- current role of the formatter
- should we extend the formatter to unify output?
More points to address:
- event attributes should not be dictionaries (e.g. regvalue)
- not supported by event filter
+1 on attributes should not be dictionaries, this is also problematic for Elasticsearch for example.
@Onager I've taken a first stab at writing something down https://github.com/log2timeline/plaso/pull/2917. You think we can get this completed as part of the May release?
Don't see this happening before next release, bumping milestone
Marking as blocked, make this part of the migration to dfKinds
