Explanation

The Splunk CIM Add-on ships with a collection of pre-built data models (e.g., Network Traffic, Authentication, Malware) that define a normalized field schema. These data models provide a consistent structure so that searches, reports, and apps built on top of the CIM work across different data sources. The CIM Add-on does not include sourcetype definitions from vendors, scripted inputs for data alignment, or data-quality dashboards - those come from individual technology-specific add-ons.
