Log360 UEBA segregates resource and user audit trails from PAM360 and renders the data in three ways:

Audit Time - The time at which user activity is detected.
Audit Count - The number of times a user activity is detected.
Audit Pattern - Based on the Audit Time and Audit Count, Log360 UEBA generates patterns for user behavior.

Through a score-based risk assessment, Log360 UEBA marks any activity that strays from the normal pattern as an anomaly in the Anomaly Reports. Log360 UEBA provides an option to visualize the Anomaly Reports in the form of bar graphs and pie charts.
Click the Export As option in the top right corner to export the report that is currently displayed. You can export reports in four formats namely: CSV, PDF, XLS, and HTML.
