You can display and download large numbers of the events associated with each threat detection. This lets you search across a broad set of the data stored in your Google Security Operations account to hunt for security issues.
Display and download events
Complete the following steps to display and download the events associated with a detection:
In the navigation bar, click Detection > Rules & Detections.
Click the Rules Dashboard tab.
Rules Dashboard
Click a rule to open the Rule Detections view.
Select a Detection from the Detections list and expand the sample events
list by clicking the arrow to the left.
There is a limit of up to 10 event samples for each event
variable defined in the rule. Event samples past this limit will be omitted.
The Download as CSV option appears if event samples were omitted from your
detection. A maximum of 100,000 events can be downloaded.
The event samples are sorted by event timestamp in the UI. Google does not
guarantee any sorting of event samples when reading detections from
Chronicle APIs.

(Optional) You can click the Columns icon and add other columns of information to the sample events lists. This information will be included in the downloaded CSV file.

Click the Download as CSV link. The event samples are downloaded as a CSV file which you can then open in most spreadsheet applications.
