  3. Click the RSYSLOG tab to display the Define Protocol Settings area.

  4. Select Common Event Format (CEF), Log Event Enhanced Format (LEEF), Comma-Separated Values (CSV), XML, JSON, or Text as the default format and select which level of detail (only for XML, JSON, or text) is provided in the Default format drop-down list box:

    • Normal—This format contains detailed information and abstracts, such as alert type, ID, source IP, malware name, hostname, and alert URL without redundant information.

    • Concise—This format contains basic information, such as alert type, ID, source IP, malware name, hostname, and alert URL.

    • Extended—This format contains detailed information and abstracts, including data-theft information (if any) and static-analysis details. This format provides all details about files and objects modified during analysis.

    • Alert—Action must be taken immediately (severity 1).

    • Critical—Critical conditions (severity 2).

    • Debug—Debug-level messages (severity 7).

    • Error—Error conditions (severity 3).
