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 next to the list.
Each event variable in a rule can display up to 10 sample events.
For example, a rule with two event variables ($e1, $e2) can show up to 20
samples in total. Any samples beyond this limit are hidden on the
Detections page., but they're included if you click Download All to view
Unified Data Model (UDM) events associated with your detection.
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: Click
view_column Columns to add more fields to the sample events list.
These fields are also included in the downloaded CSV.
Click the Download as CSV link. The event samples are downloaded as a CSV file which you can then open in most spreadsheet applications.
