Visibility of Logs and Alerts from External Sources in Cortex XDR
Cortex
XDR
Cortex XDR provides visibility into your external logs.
The availability of logs and alerts varies by the data source.
Where you can view
information ingested from external sources depends on the data source.
The following table describes the visibility of each vendor and
device type. A
indicates
support where a dash (—) indicates the feature is not supported.

When ingesting
data from an external source,
Cortex
XDR
creates a dataset that you can query using XQL.
Datasets created in this way use the following naming convention.<vendor_name>_<product_name>_raw
For example: cisco_asa_raw
The datatypes used
for the fields in an imported dataset are automatically assigned
based on the input content. Fields can have a datatype of
string
, int
, float
, array
, time
,
or boolean
. All other fields are ingested
as a JSON object. Recommended For You
