Monitor > Automated Correlation Engine > Correlated Events
Correlated events expand the threat detection capabilities
on the firewall and Panorama; the correlated events gather evidence
of suspicious or unusual behavior of users or hosts on the network.
The correlation object makes it possible to pivot on certain
conditions or behaviors and trace commonalities across multiple
log sources. When the set of conditions specified in a correlation
object are observed on the network, each match is logged as a correlated
event.
The correlated event includes the details listed in the following
table.
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Match Time | The time the correlation object triggered
a match. |
Update Time | The timestamp when the match was last updated. |
Object Name | The name of the correlation object that
triggered the match. |
Source Address | The IP address of the user from whom the
traffic originated |
Source User | The user and user group information from
the directory server, if User-ID™ is enabled. |
Severity | A rating that classifies the risk based
on the extent of damage caused. |
Summary | A description that summarizes
the evidence gathered on the correlated event. |
Host ID | The Host ID of the device. To add
a device to the quarantine list (), click the
down arrow next to the device’s Host ID and
