Analyzing Custom Fles

Hello Guys,

I am trying to use the Upload File feature under Admin > Device Support. 

When I click on New, I am unable to get the browse to select the sample file option. 

But besides that, what is the benefit of doing this. Can I make Dashboards from the csv file? I would like to know what usual FortiSIEM analytical features I can use on custom CSV files. 


Thanks in advance.

    Hi Ali

    See here for info
    https://help.fortinet.com/fsiem/6-1-1/Online-Help/HTML5_Help/Analyzing_custom_log_files.htm

    This feature is used to allow for the adhoc upload of CSV formatted events and they can then queried as any other event.

    There should be a "browse" button, maybe there is a screen resolution issue?

    A different method is to use https://help.fortinet.com/fsiem/6-1-0/Online-Help/HTML5_Help/whats_new_5-1-0.htm#Analyze

    Thanks

    Dan

    Hello Dan,

    Yea I was accessing it via Chrome (on a RDP session) and the button was not displaying properly. Was able to make it work via Firefox. 


    Very neat feature and glad I can now use it to make more meaningful dashboards (as soon as I manage to make some sense of this data) 

    Thanks,
    Ali.
