Functional Insights

Correlation Between Chart and Table

  • The chart provides an aggregated, volume-based overview of logs.
  • The discovery table provides granular event details, allowing analysts to trace which specific actions contributed to spikes in log activity.

Analyst Use Case

  • Analysts can monitor ingestion volumes, then drill down into specific events for deeper investigation.
  • Example: A spike in logs on 09/24/2025 11:00 may be investigated by reviewing the detailed event records in the table.

 

Overall, the Data Explorer sub-domain plays a critical role in strengthening cybersecurity operations through comprehensive log monitoring and analysis.
