Manage Security Rules

There are two types of rules in Cloud SIEM:

  • A protected rule is a rule defined by Logz.io. These rules appear in the Rule definitions list with a Logz.io rule tag. You can only edit the name or logic of a protected rule if you duplicate the rule as described in this document. You can, however, define what accounts to apply the rule to and edit the trigger conditions, tags, and recipient endpoints of a protected rule.

  • A custom rule is a rule defined by the user. These rules appear in the Rule definitions list without a tag. You can edit the name and logic of a regular rule, define what accounts to apply the rule to and edit the rule's trigger conditions, tags, and recipient endpoints.

Manage custom rules

Navigate to your Logz.io SIEM account > Rules.
