Investigation guide
edit## Config If enabling an EQL rule on a non-elastic-agent index (such as beats) for versions <8.2, events will not define `event.ingested` and default fallback for EQL rules was not added until 8.2, so you will need to add a custom pipeline to populate `event.ingested` to @timestamp for this rule to work.
Rule query
editprocess where event.type in ("start", "process_started") and
process.name : ("csc.exe", "vbc.exe") and
process.parent.name : ("wscript.exe", "mshta.exe", "cscript.exe", "wmic.exe", "svchost.exe", "rundll32.exe", "cmstp.exe", "regsvr32.exe")
