You can populate Elastic Security dashboards by running Node.js scripts that generate ECS-compliant security events and synthetic alerts, indexing them directly into Elasticsearch to simulate multi-step attack scenarios across system, endpoint, Windows, AWS, and Okta environments.

Yes, you can simulate multi-step attack sequences by generating realistic security events and synthetic alerts, allowing you to test detection rules and populate attack discovery without needing live network data.

Attack simulation supports generating ECS-compliant sample data across system, endpoint, Windows, AWS, and Okta environments, providing diverse synthetic events to populate dashboards and test various detection scenarios.

Yes, you need Node.js version 22 or higher, along with network access to Kibana and Elasticsearch with appropriate credentials, to run the scripts that generate demo data and populate your environment.

The best way to set up a Proof of Concept without live data is to run a demo walkthrough script that automatically generates realistic attack chains, synthetic alerts, and security events to populate your Kibana environment.

Synthetic alerts may not appear if the Node.js scripts lack proper network access to Kibana or correct Elasticsearch credentials, preventing the ECS-compliant alert documents from being indexed properly into your environment.
