Raw Log Data: When devices send logs to FortiSIEM, the data arrives in a raw, unstructured format.
Data Parsing Process: The process that converts this raw log data into a structured format is known
as data parsing.
Data Parsing: This involves extracting relevant fields from the raw log entries and organizing them
into a structured format, making the data usable for analysis, reporting, and correlation.
Significance of Structured Data: Structured data is essential for effective event correlation, alerting,
and generating meaningful reports.
Reference: FortiSIEM 6.3 User Guide, Data Parsing section, which details how raw log data is
transformed into structured data through parsing.
