Sergey Polzunov 3bdda091e1 chore: use docs-dev instead of docs dir for docs (#4522)
* chore: use `docs-dev` instead of `docs` folder

* patch version bump

* Rollback an incorrect rename

* Use exact docs dir in the helper comment

* Revert some overeager renamings

* Moving `docs` to `docs-dev`

* Update Docs Paths

**The setup instructions in this document have been deprecated. Please follow the steps outlined in [this](https://www.elastic.co/security-labs/detect-domain-generation-algorithm-activity-with-new-Kibana-integration) blog to enable DGA detection in your environment.**
# Machine Learning on Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA)
To create and use supervised DGA ML models to enrich data within the stack, check out these Elastic blogs:
* Part 1: [Machine learning in cybersecurity: Training supervised models to detect DGA activity](https://www.elastic.co/blog/machine-learning-in-cybersecurity-training-supervised-models-to-detect-dga-activity)
* Part 2: [Machine learning in cybersecurity: Detecting DGA activity in network data](https://www.elastic.co/blog/machine-learning-in-cybersecurity-detecting-dga-activity-in-network-data)
You can also find some supplementary material and examples [here](https://github.com/elastic/examples/tree/master/Machine%20Learning/DGA%20Detection)
We also released a blog about getting started with DGA using the CLI and Kibana, which also includes a case study of the process applied to the 2020 [SolarWinds supply chain attack](https://www.elastic.co/blog/elastic-security-provides-free-and-open-protections-for-sunburst):
* [Combining supervised and unsupervised machine learning for DGA detection](https://www.elastic.co/blog/supervised-and-unsupervised-machine-learning-for-dga-detection)
For questions, please reach out to the ML team in the #machine-learning channel of the
[Elastic community Slack workspace](https://www.elastic.co/blog/join-our-elastic-stack-workspace-on-slack)
The team can also be reached by using the `stack-machine-learning` tag in the [discuss forums](https://discuss.elastic.co/tags/c/elastic-stack/stack-machine-learning)
*Note: in order to use these ML features, you must have a platinum or higher [subscription](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions)*
*Note: the ML features are considered experimental in Kibana as well as this rules CLI*
## Detailed steps
#### 1. Upload and setup the model file and dependencies
Run `python -m detection_rules es <args_or_config> experimental ml setup -t <release-tag>`
*If updating a new model, you should first uninstall any existing models using `remove-model`*
You can also upload files locally using the `-d` option, so long as the naming convention of the files match the
expected pattern for the filenames.
#### 2. Update packetbeat configuration
You will need to update your packetbeat.yml config file to point to the enrichment pipeline
Under `Elasticsearch Output` add the following:
```yaml
output.elasticsearch:
hosts: ["your-hostname:your-port"]
pipeline: dns_enrich_pipeline
```
#### 3. Refresh your packetbeat index
You can optionally choose to refresh your packetbeat index mapping from within Kibana:
* Navigate to `Stack Management > (Kibana) Index Patterns`
* Select the appropriate packetbeat index
* Click `refresh field list`
#### 4. Verify enrichment fields
Any packetbeat documents with the field `dns.question.registered_domain` should now be enriched with `ml_is_dga.*`
