Subtypes

Each log message contains a Sub Type (subtype) field that further subdivides its category according to the feature involved with the cause of the log message.

For example:

  • In event logs, some may have a subtype of admin, system, or other subtypes.
  • In attack logs, they have main type and subtypes to reflect the classification of the attacks.
  • In traffic logs, the subtype is always http even if the service is HTTPS.
