System

System Logs are common to any product, application, or service that writes to Cortex Data Lake. These are used to record system events that occur within the writing entity. The definition of a system event will differ from one writing entity to the next, so to learn about the events that causes a system log to be written, consult the documentation for the product, application, or service that writes these logs.
For example, Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls write a system log any time the firewall can't reach the syslog servers, any time WildFire is updated, any time an administrator visits the Monitor tab, or whenever someone logs onto the firewall.
