License Requirement for Rule Details

Currently, the Rule Details panel can only be accessed if you have one of the New-Scale licenses. For more information see New-Scale Security Operations Portfolio Licenses

Rule Details information is available when you are viewing Search results that include detection events. A detection refers to an event that represents a possible security threat or anomalous behavior.

Important

Rule Details information is currently available for either Correlation Rule events or Exabeam Anomaly events.

Accessing Rule Details

To access Rule Details from different results views:

  • Timeline View – Do one of the following to open a Rule Details panel:

    • Click the options menu icon (search-query-moremenu.png) on the right of the event row and select Rule Details.

    • Expand the event and click the Event Details link. When the Event Details panel opens, click on the Rules tab.

    • Expand the detection event and click the Rule Details link.

  • List View – Find a detection event in the listed results (recognizable by the risk score in the top right corner of the event) and click View all fields in the upper right corner of the event row. An Event Details panel opens with a Rules tab displayed.

  • Table View – Find a detection event in the table of results (recognizable by the value rule in the Subject column) and click on the event row. A Rule Details panel opens.

The detail information available when opening rule details depends on which results view you're working in. When you open Rule Details from either the Timeline or Table views, the panel that opens can show details for only the selected detection event. It includes a full raw message and the entire list of parsed fields for the event, including an expandable list of the rules associated with the detection event.

In the Timeline view, a single event can be associated with multiple detection events. So, when you view detailed rule information in the Timeline view, the panel that opens can show information about multiple detection events. For a group of detection events, when the Event Details panel first opens with the Rules tab displayed, some overview information about the group of events is included at the top of the panel. It includes possible Source or Destination Endpoints, Use Cases, or

MITRE Tactics and Techniques that are covered by the detection events.

Below the overview event information you can find information specific to each detection event. The event details of each detection event in the panel are expandable and collapsible. If you open the Event Details panel from the options menu of the event row, the panel opens with all of the detections in the list collapsed. If you open the the panel from the link on one of the detection events, the panel opens with that specific event's details expanded. Click any detection to expand it and click it again to collapse it.

The expanded view of each detection includes a full raw message, and the entire list of parsed fields for the detection event, including an expandable list of the rules associated with the detection event.

Note

If an event does not specify a time zone, the time in the parsed fields is reported in the local time zone. In the raw log message, the time remains as is.
