    User Interface Tabs


    EventLog Analyzer's user interface tabs help you navigate to different sections of the product. The tabs include:

    Home tab

    The home tab contains multiple dashboards that give you insights into important network activities. The below dashboards are present by default when you click on the Home tab:

    Home tab

    Events Overview

    This tab presents a high-level overview of security events by generating graphical reports such as Logs Trend, Syslog Severity Events, Windows Severity Events, and Recent Alerts. These reports are generated for events that occur in a specific time frame (which can be customized). Hovering your mouse pointer over the charts or graphs will give you information about the Event Count of a particular device, its IP address, and the Severity of the event (Information, Notice, Debug, Warning, Alert, Error, Critical, and Emergency).

    Network Overview

    This tab gives you information about network traffic in your environment. It provides details on the traffic trend, allowed and denied network connections, and more to help you track events of interest.

    Security Overview

    The security overview dashboard consolidates events from network devices such as IDS/IPS, endpoint security solutions, vulnerability scanners, and other threat detection solutions. This dashboard contains reports that help security teams keep tabs on crucial security events such as vulnerabilities and threats. It also has an interactive widget on IDS/IPS attacks, which helps you identify the type of attack, number of attack attempts, and the time when the attack happened.

    The dashboard also contains the Alerts Count Overview widget that displays the number of alerts triggered in a given time frame.

    VPN Overview

    You can customize the Home tab to include the VPN Overview tab by navigating to Settings → Add Tab → VPN Overview. EventLog Analyzer monitors VPN session activities and generates reports to help you visualize events of interest. The VPN Overview dashboard will give you insights on VPN user and session activities by displaying widgets such as Live Sessions Count, Total Logon Hours, Average Login Time, Closed Sessions, and Top Users and Status. You can also customize the VPN dashboard by adding and reordering widgets by navigating to Settings → Add Widgets and Settings → Reorder Widgets respectively.

    Home tab

    Incident Overview

    This tab helps you effortlessly manage the security incidents detected. The dashboard gives you the count of all, active, unassigned and overdue incidents. It also provides the mean time to resolve. The dashboard provides insights such as:

    • Overdue incidents's age.
    • Personalized incident dashboard where the user can view the incidents assigned to them and their age.
    • Top 5 incident handlers.
    • The status and severity of the incidents detected.
    • Trend graph for the incidents created and resolved.
    • User-specific mean time to resolve the incidents.
    Note: mean time to resolve refers to the average time taken to resolve an incident.
    Incident Overview

    The Home tab also contains the Log Sources, date and time selection, and settings icons.

    Log Sources tab

    When you click on the Log Sources tab, three tabs are displayed:

    Devices

    The Devices section displays the entire list of systems (Windows, Linux, IBM AS/400, HP-UX, etc.) and devices (routers, switches, etc.), from which EventLog Analyzer is collecting logs. The device list displayed is categorized based on the Device group selected from the drop-down list (default: All Groups). You can add a new device (+Device), or add and schedule new reports (+Schedule) from this section. You can search for a particular device based on its IP Address or Device Name, delete a device or set of devices, and disable/enable log collection from a particular device or set of devices.

    The device list table displays details like device type, event summary (error, warning, failure, others), connection status of the device, time when the last log message was fetched, and device group to which the device belongs. Moving the mouse over any device brings up some options:

    • View the last 10 events collected from a particular device.
    • Update the device details.
    • Ping the device.
    • Enable/disable log collection from the device.

    You can even customize the columns you would like to display in the device table by clicking the column selector icon or increase the number of devices that are displayed per page (from a minimum of 5 devices per page to a maximum of 200 devices per page). Using the drop down menu, you can list out only the Active devices or Enabled devices and have the option to exclude synced devices from Active Directory Audit Plus.

The Scheduled Reports tab allows you to view existing scheduled reports and export them as and when needed.

    Compliance tab

    The Compliance tab provides the set of canned reports as required by various compliance policies, namely, FISMA, PCI-DSS, SOX, HIPAA, GLBA, GPG, and ISO 27001:2013. The +Add option allows you to create and select the reports required for a new compliance policy of your choice. The Edit option allows you to customize the reports available under each compliance policy.

    The Search tab provides two options to search the raw logs: Basic Search or Advanced Search. The search result is displayed in the lower half of the page and the final search result can be saved as a report (in PDF or CSV format) and can also be scheduled to be generated at predefined intervals and be automatically mailed to a set of configured users.

    You can use Basic search if you are interested in manually constructing the search query. Here you can use phrase search, Boolean search, grouped search, and wild-card search to build your search query. You can use Advanced search to interactively build complex search queries easily with field value pairs and relational operators. New fields can be extracted from the search result and regular expression (regex) patterns can be constructed to easily identify, parse and index these fields in new logs received by EventLog Analyzer.

    Correlation tab

    The Correlation engine analyzes logs collected from different parts of the network and generates alerts for suspicious patterns of events. The dashboard, by default, displays the report on Recent Incidents. You can create and modify correlation rules by clicking on the Manage Rules tab present in the dashboard.
