      Query filters help to pull filtered events from Cato Networks. For example, if you want to collect only firewall events amongst other events, use query filter by providing event type as Security and the event sub type as Internet Firewall. You can use the event type from the supported event types: Security, Connectivity, Routing, and Detection and Response. For this query filter:

      • Field Name is EventType, Operator is Is and Value is Security.

      • Field Name is Event Sub Type, Operator is Is and Value is Internet Firewall.

        Refer to the following screenshot.

  7. (Optional) SITE – Select an existing site or to create a new site with a unique ID, click manage your sites. Adding a site name helps you to ensure efficient management of environments with overlapping IP addresses.

    By entering a site name, you associate the logs with a specific independent site. A sitename metadata field is automatically added to all the events that are going to be ingested via this collector. For more information about Site Management, see Define a Unique Site Name.

  8. (Optional) TIMEZONE – Select a time zone applicable to you for accurate detections and event monitoring.

    By entering a time zone, you override the default log time zone. A timezone metadata field is automatically added to all events ingested through this collector.
