The Value of Ingesting Firewall Logs
In this article, we are going to explore the process of ingesting logs into your data lake, and the value of importing your firewall logs into Coralogix. To understand the value of the firewall logs, we must first understand what data is being exported. A typical layer 3 firewall will export the source IP address, destination IP address, ports and the action for example allow or deny. A layer 7 firewall will add more metadata to the logs including application, user, location, and more.
