    The Parser Details page opens. You can interact with the parser in the following ways:

    • On the Details panel, you can view information about parser calibration tiers in the top portion of the page. The system calculates an individual calibration tier for each log message as it's parsed. The Parser Calibration Tier value shows an aggregated calibration tier for all of the log messages parsed in the last 24 hours by the parser whose details you are viewing. Click on the value itself to display a Calibration Tier Makeup, which shows what percentage of the parsed logs achieved each calibration tier.

      For example, in the image below, 56% of the logs parsed by the selected parser in the past 24 hours had a calibration tier of 1. 35% had tier 2 and 10% had tier 3. For information about what each tier means, see Parser Calibration Tiers.
