Log Events Reports
Select the data to be displayed on the report
Generate detailed reports of raw log events to gain deeper insights into your infrastructure's logging activities. The Custom Log Events Report allows you to monitor and analyze specific log counters such as log messages, event severity, event source, and more. These reports are critical for identifying anomalies, tracking incidents, and maintaining a detailed log history for compliance purposes.
Select the data to be displayed in the report
To create a custom log events report, follow the steps below and configure the fields according to your monitoring needs:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Counter | Choose the counter for which you want to create the Log Events report. This defines the specific log event counters that you want to monitor, such as log message, event severity, event source, and more. |
| Source Filter | Narrow down the scope of the log sources that you want to include in the report by selecting either Event Source Type, Event Category, Event Source, or Group from the dropdown. This helps you focus on a specific subset of log sources based on your selection. |
| Source | Select the specific log sources to include in the report. Based on the selection made in the previous field, this dropdown will display relevant options to narrow down the data source for the report. For example, if you selected Event Source in the previous field, the Source dropdown will display a list of all the available IPs from which logs are ingested. |
| Filters | Use additional filters to further refine the dataset included in the report. |
By configuring these fields, you can create a custom log events report that aligns with your log monitoring requirements and delivers crucial insights into your log data.
