Parser Types

Exabeam categorizes parsers in Log Stream by type, according to where they originated and how they can be handled. These parser type categories are useful for filtering a list of parsers when you are looking for a specific individual parser or set of parsers. Log Stream parser types include the following:

  • default-parser.png Default Parsers – These are pre-built Exabeam parsers. Exabeam delivers updates to these parsers via Content Packages. You cannot modify these parsers but you can customize them.

  • custom-parser.png Custom Parsers – These are parsers that have been created in, or imported into, your Log Stream environment. You have full control to modify or delete them.

  • customized-default-parser.png Customized Default Parsers – These are default parsers that you have customized in Log Stream by using the Customize option to add new fields or event builders. When Exabeam pushes updates to the parser via a new Content Package, your customizations are retained. You can modify but not delete these parsers.

  • default-parser.png Custom Default Parsers – As of February, 2026, this specific categorization of customized parsers has been discontinued. This category has been removed in favor of a simpler, more consistent approach to handling default parsers that have been customized.
