Network Traffic (Continent-Level Geo)

Network traffic events enriched with continent-level geographic information. Models cross-continent and same-continent flows for both inbound and outbound directions, with realistic allow/deny outcomes based on geographic policy.

Quick Start

uv tool install eventum-generator
git clone https://github.com/eventum-generator/content-packs.git
cd content-packs
eventum generate \
  --path generators/network-continent/generator.yml \
  --id network-continent \
  --live-mode true

Event Types

Event ID	Description	Frequency	Category
cross-continent-outbound-allow	Outbound traffic to a different continent — allowed	~25%	network
same-continent-outbound-allow	Outbound traffic within the same continent — allowed	~30%	network
cross-continent-inbound-allow	Inbound traffic from a different continent — allowed	~15%	network
same-continent-inbound-allow	Inbound traffic from the same continent — allowed	~15%	network
cross-continent-inbound-denied	Inbound traffic from a different continent — denied by geo policy	~10%	network
same-continent-inbound-denied	Inbound traffic from the same continent — denied	~5%	network

Realism Features

Continent-level geolocation — source and destination enriched with continent codes (NA, EU, AS, SA, AF, OC)
Cross-continent vs same-continent traffic split reflects real-world routing patterns
Direction-aware policies — outbound traffic predominantly allowed; inbound subject to geo-based filtering
Denied traffic skewed toward cross-continent inbound, modeling geographic access restrictions
ECS geo fields — source.geo.continent_name and destination.geo.continent_name populated on every event
