Events/Logs Schema | Check Point WAF

For the complete documentation index, see llms.txt. This page is also available as Markdown.

When events are sent from CloudGuard WAF agents to be viewed in the cloud application and/or to a Syslog/CEF server, they are sent in a specific field structure.

This page will document the fields being sent. This will allow filter queries in the cloud application and log parsing to be done on the Syslog/CEF side (see configuration of Trigger objects for more info).
