CustomParsing

Expand each asset type's Custom Parsing section to add fields. For each field, specify the following:

  • Field Title - Select a column title from the list. Note that you can also select nested fields of complex fields, for example: Network Interfaces:Ips.
  • Raw Path - The path to the field in the raw data, for example: my_path|my_sub_path
  • Type - Select a field type from the list: string, boolean, etc. Will be ignored for common fields.
  • Field Structure - Specify whether the filed is a single value or a list field. Will be ignored for common fields.
    Click + Add Field to add as many fields as you like, or x to delete the row.
