+- **Optional**: Docker and Docker Compose for containerized deployment
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+### Option 1: Direct Python Installation
+
+```bash
+# Clone repository and navigate to docs-server
+cd model-context-protocol/docs-server
+
+# Install dependencies
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# Start the server (HTTP mode on port 8008)  
+python server.py --transport http --port 8008 --docs /path/to/your/docs
+
+# Or start in MCP stdio mode (for direct integration)
+python server.py --transport stdio --docs /path/to/your/docs
+```
+
+### Option 2: Docker (Recommended for Production)
+
+```bash
+# Navigate to the docker directory
+cd model-context-protocol/docs-server/docker
+
+# Edit compose.yml to point to YOUR documentation directory
+# Change: - ../docs:/app/docs:ro
+# To: - /path/to/your/documentation:/app/docs:ro
+
+# Start the server
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# The server will be available at http://localhost:8008
+```
+
+
+## MCP Client Configuration
+
+### Windsurf
+
+In Windsurf, go to "Advanced Settings", then "Cascade", then "Manage 
+MCP Servers", then "View raw config". Add the following information
+(merge with "mcpServers" if you already have some).
+
+```
+{
+    "mcpServers": {
+      "lzdocs": {
+        "serverUrl": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/logzilla-docs-server/mcp",
+        "headers": {
+          "Content-Type": "application/json"
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+```
+
+Close the raw JSON tab and go back to the Manage MCPs tab. Click
+"refresh" and you should see the `lzdocs` MCP server listed.
+
+### Claude desktop
+
+You must have `npx` on your system, in your PATH. 
+
+1. **Check Node/NPM are installed**
+   `node -v`  `npm -v`
+   *Why it matters*: **npx** ships with npm ≥ 5.2, which is bundled with every
+   modern Node installer (so if those commands work, you already have npx).
+
+2. **Install (or upgrade) Node** if the commands above fail or show an ancient
+   version.
+
+   * Download and run the LTS installer from [https://nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org) **or**
+   * `winget install OpenJS.NodeJS.LTS`  # Windows 10/11
+     *Why it matters*: This gives you the latest stable Node, npm, and npx in one
+     shot.
+
+3. **Open a shell** where you want to work.
+
+   * Windows Terminal, PowerShell, or plain **cmd.exe**
+   * (Optional) VS Code’s integrated terminal or Git Bash also work fine
+     *Why it matters*: npx is just a CLI utility, so any terminal that can see the
+     `node` executables on your `PATH` will do.
+
+4. **Run the program with npx**
+   `npx <package-name> [args]`
+   Example: `npx create-react-app my-app`
+   *Why it matters*: npx downloads the package (if you don’t already have it) to
+   a temp cache, then immediately runs its CLI entry-point.
+
+5. **Skip the “install? (y/N)” prompt** (npm ≥ 7)
+   `npx -y <package-name>`
+   *Why it matters*: Great for scripts or CI where you don’t want interactivity.
+
+6. **Troubleshoot common issues**
+
+   * *“‘npx’ is not recognized”*: the Node installer’s **postinstall** step
+     didn’t add `%ProgramFiles%\nodejs\` to `PATH`. Log out/in or add it
+     manually.
+   * *Corporate proxy*:
+     `npm config set proxy http://user:pass@proxy:port`
+     `npm config set https-proxy http://user:pass@proxy:port`
+   * *Firewall blocks downloads*: pre-install the CLI globally:
+     `npm i -g <package-name>` and run it normally.
+     *Why it matters*: These fixes get you past the usual Windows-specific
+     roadblocks.
+
+
+Once you have Node/NPM installed, in a text editor, open the file 
+`C:\Users\your-user-name\AppData\Roaming\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`.
+
+Either add the following, or merge the "mcpServers" section:
+```
+{
+    "mcpServers": {
+        "logzilla-docs": {
+            "args": [
+                "mcp-remote",
+                "http://127.0.0.1:8008/logzilla-docs-server/mcp"
+            ],
+            "command": "npx"
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+

+```
+
+## ⚙️ Configuration
+
+The server supports multiple configuration methods with environment variables taking precedence over `.env` files.
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+#### Core Server Settings
+```bash
+# Transport and Network
+export MCP_TRANSPORT="http"              # Transport mode: stdio, http, https
+export MCP_HOST="localhost"              # Server bind address (default: localhost)
+export MCP_PORT="8008"                   # Server port (default: 8008)
+export MCP_SERVER_NAME="docs-server"     # Server identifier (default: docs-server)
+export MCP_DESCRIPTION="company documentation"  # Server description
+
+# SSL/TLS Configuration (HTTPS mode)
+export MCP_SSL_CERT_PATH="/path/to/cert.pem"    # SSL certificate file path
+export MCP_SSL_KEY_PATH="/path/to/key.pem"      # SSL private key file path
+
+
+
+# Document Management - IMPORTANT: Point to your documentation directory
+export MCP_DOCS_PATH="/path/to/your/docs"  # Documentation root directory (default: ./docs)
+export MCP_MAX_FILE_SIZE="10485760"     # Maximum file size (10MB)
+export MCP_DEVICE="auto"                # Compute device: cpu, cuda, mps, auto, none (default: auto)
+```
+
+### Configuration File (.env)
+
+Create a `.env` file in the project root:
+
+```bash
+# .env file example
+MCP_TRANSPORT=http
+MCP_HOST=localhost
+MCP_PORT=8008
+MCP_DOCS_PATH=/path/to/your/documentation
+MCP_DEVICE=auto
+MCP_SERVER_NAME=docs-server
+MCP_DESCRIPTION="company documentation"
+
+# Real examples:
+# MCP_DOCS_PATH=/home/user/my-project/docs
+# MCP_DOCS_PATH=/var/www/knowledge-base
+# MCP_DOCS_PATH=./company-documentation
+```
+
+### SSL/HTTPS Setup
+
+```bash
+# Generate SSL certificates (self-signed for development)
+openssl genrsa -out server.key 2048
+openssl req -new -x509 -key server.key -out server.crt -days 365
+
+# Configure environment
+export MCP_SSL_CERT_PATH="server.crt"
+export MCP_SSL_KEY_PATH="server.key"
+export MCP_PORT="8443"
+
+# Start with HTTPS  
+python server.py --transport https --port 8443
+```
+
+### Docker Configuration
+
+For Docker deployments, modify `compose.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  docs-server:
+    build:
+      context: ..
+      dockerfile: docker/Dockerfile
+    container_name: docs-server
+    ports:
+      - "8008:8008"
+    volumes:
+      # IMPORTANT: Mount YOUR documentation directory here
+      - /path/to/your/documentation:/app/docs:ro
+      # Example: - /home/user/project-docs:/app/docs:ro
+    environment:
+      - MCP_TRANSPORT=http
+      - MCP_HOST=0.0.0.0
+      - MCP_PORT=8008
+      - MCP_DOCS_PATH=/app/docs
+      - MCP_DEVICE=auto
+      - PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1
+```
+
+**Key Points:**
+- Replace `/path/to/your/documentation` with your actual documentation directory path
+- The `:ro` flag mounts the directory as read-only for security
+- The documentation will be available inside the container at `/app/docs`

+flake8 . --max-line-length 88 --ignore E203,W503
+
+# Type checking with mypy
+mypy . --ignore-missing-imports
+```
+
+#### Hot Reload Development
+```bash
+# Start server with auto-reload for development
+python server.py --transport http --port 8008 --device auto
+
+# Or use uvicorn directly for HTTP mode (if FastAPI mode is available)
+uvicorn server:app --reload --port 8008
+```
+
+### Adding New Features
+
+#### Adding New MCP Tools
+1. Define the tool function in `search_tools.py`
+2. Add Pydantic models to `models.py`
+3. Register the tool in `server.py`
+4. Add comprehensive tests
+5. Update this documentation
+
+#### Adding New Search Providers
+1. Implement the `SearchEngine` interface in `models.py`
+2. Add the engine to `search_tools.py`
+3. Update configuration options
+4. Add performance benchmarks
+
+### Debugging
+
+#### Logging Configuration
+```bash
+# Enable debug logging (note: controlled by Python logging, not MCP environment variables)
+export PYTHONPATH=/path/to/docs-server
+
+# Start with verbose output
+python server.py --transport http --port 8008 --device auto
+```
+
+#### Common Debugging Scenarios
+```bash
+# Debug search issues (from main directory)
+python -c "
+from search_tools import SearchTools
+from models import SearchRequest
+tools = SearchTools('./logzilla-docs')
+result = tools.search_documents(SearchRequest(query='test', max_results=5))
+print(result)
+"
+
+# Debug document indexing (from main directory)
+python -c "
+from document_cache import DocumentCache
+cache = DocumentCache('./logzilla-docs')
+docs = cache.list_documents()
+print(f'Found {len(docs)} documents')
+"
+```

+
+### Component Architecture
+
+#### Transport Layer
+- **stdio**: Direct MCP client integration via stdin/stdout
+- **HTTP**: RESTful API for web integration  
+- **HTTPS**: Secure HTTP with SSL/TLS encryption
+
+#### Search Architecture
+```python
+# Hybrid Search Flow
+query = "authentication setup"
+
+# 1. BM25 Keyword Search
+bm25_results = bm25_engine.search(query, max_results=20)
+bm25_scores = [result.score for result in bm25_results]
+
+# 2. Vector Semantic Search  
+query_embedding = sentence_transformer.encode(query)
+vector_results = faiss_index.search(query_embedding, max_results=20)
+vector_scores = [result.score for result in vector_results]
+
+# 3. Hybrid Score Combination
+final_results = combine_scores(
+    bm25_results, vector_results,
+    bm25_weight=0.7, vector_weight=0.3
+)
+```
+
+#### Document Processing Pipeline
+```python
+# Document Indexing Flow
+markdown_file → document_parser → chunks → {
+    bm25_index.add_document(chunks),
+    vector_embeddings = sentence_transformer.encode(chunks),
+    faiss_index.add_vectors(vector_embeddings),
+    document_cache.store_metadata(document)
+}
+```
+
+
+## 🔒 Security Considerations
+
+### Authentication & Authorization
+- **Transport Security**: HTTPS with configurable SSL/TLS certificates
+
+### File System Security
+- **Sandboxed Access**: Only serves files from configured documentation directory
+- **Path Traversal Protection**: Robust protection against directory traversal attacks
+- **File Type Restrictions**: Configurable allowed file extensions
+- **Size Limits**: Configurable maximum file sizes prevent abuse
+
+### Network Security
+- **CORS Configuration**: Configurable cross-origin resource sharing
+- **Rate Limiting**: Built-in request rate limiting (planned)
+- **Request Validation**: Comprehensive Pydantic-based input validation
+- **Error Sanitization**: Secure error messages that don't leak system information
+
+## ⚡ Performance & Optimization
+
+### Search Performance
+```bash
+# Performance tuning environment variables
+export MCP_DEVICE="cuda"                  # Use GPU for embeddings (if available)
+export MCP_MAX_FILE_SIZE="20971520"       # Increase max file size to 20MB
+# Note: Other performance settings are configured in the application code
+```
+
+### System Optimization
+- **Async/Await**: Full asynchronous I/O for high concurrency
+- **HTTP Streaming**: Efficient transfer of large responses
+- **Document Caching**: Intelligent metadata and content caching
+- **Index Optimization**: Optimized FAISS indices for fast vector search
+- **Connection Pooling**: Uvicorn server with optimized connection handling
+
+### Memory Management
+```bash
+# Monitor memory usage
+docker stats docs-server
+
+# Optimize for large document sets
+export MCP_MAX_FILE_SIZE="5242880"       # Limit individual file sizes (5MB)
+export MCP_DEVICE="cpu"                  # Use CPU only to reduce memory usage
+```
+
+## 🚀 Production Deployment
+
+### Docker Production Setup
+
+Create a production `compose.prod.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# compose.prod.yml
+services:
+  docs-server:
+    image: mcp-docs-server:latest
+    restart: always
+    ports:
+      - "443:8443"
+    volumes:
+      # CRITICAL: Mount your production documentation directory
+      - /path/to/your/production/docs:/app/docs:ro
+      # Examples:
+      # - /var/www/company-docs:/app/docs:ro
+      # - /opt/documentation:/app/docs:ro
+      # - /home/docs/knowledge-base:/app/docs:ro
+      
+      # SSL certificates (for HTTPS)
+      - /etc/ssl/certs:/app/certs:ro
+      # Logs directory
+      - ./logs:/app/logs
+    environment:
+      - MCP_TRANSPORT=https
+      - MCP_PORT=8443
+      - MCP_SSL_CERT_PATH=/app/certs/server.crt
+      - MCP_SSL_KEY_PATH=/app/certs/server.key
+      - MCP_DOCS_PATH=/app/docs
+    healthcheck:
+      test: ["CMD", "curl", "-f", "-k", "https://localhost:8443/help"]
+      interval: 30s
+      timeout: 10s
+      retries: 3
+
+# Deploy with:
+# docker-compose -f compose.prod.yml up -d
+```
+
+**Production Documentation Setup:**
+1. **Update the volume path**: Change `/path/to/your/production/docs` to your actual documentation directory
+2. **Ensure read permissions**: The documentation directory must be readable by the container
+3. **Structure doesn't matter**: Any directory structure with `.md` files will work
+4. **Real-time updates**: Changes to documentation files are automatically detected
+
+### Kubernetes Deployment
+```yaml
+# k8s-deployment.yaml
+apiVersion: apps/v1
+kind: Deployment
+metadata:

+
+## 📊 Monitoring & Logging
+
+### Health Monitoring
+```bash
+# Server status via help page
+curl https://localhost:8443/help
+
+# Health check via MCP tool (requires MCP client)
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8008/tools/call \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"name": "health_check", "arguments": {}}'
+```
+
+### Logging Configuration
+```bash
+# Logging is controlled by Python's logging module
+# Server outputs structured logs to stderr by default
+# Redirect to file using shell redirection:
+python server.py --transport http --port 8008 2>/var/log/mcp-docs-server.log
+```
+
+### Log Analysis Examples
+```bash
+# Monitor search queries
+tail -f /var/log/mcp-docs-server/server.log | grep "search_documents"
+
+# Performance monitoring
+grep "execution_time_ms" /var/log/mcp-docs-server/server.log | \
+  awk '{print $NF}' | sort -n | tail -10
+
+# Error tracking
+grep "ERROR" /var/log/mcp-docs-server/server.log | tail -20
+```
+
+## 🛠️ Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+#### 1. SSL Certificate Errors
+```bash
+# Symptoms: SSL handshake failures, certificate validation errors
+# Solutions:
+- Verify certificate files exist and are readable
+- Check certificate validity: openssl x509 -in server.crt -text -noout
+- Ensure certificate matches hostname
+   - Use absolute paths for certificate files
+- Check certificate chain completeness
+```
+
+#### 2. Search Performance Issues
+```bash
+# Symptoms: Slow search responses, high memory usage
+# Solutions:
+# Use supported environment variables  
+export MCP_DEVICE="cpu"                    # Force CPU if GPU issues
+export MCP_MAX_FILE_SIZE="5242880"        # Reduce max file size
+
+# Restart server to rebuild indices (indices rebuild automatically on startup)
+python server.py --transport http --port 8008 --device cpu
+```
+
+#### 3. Document Indexing Problems
+```bash
+# Symptoms: Documents not found, indexing errors
+# Debug steps (run from main directory):
+python -c "
+from document_cache import DocumentCache
+cache = DocumentCache('./logzilla-docs')
+print(f'Found documents: {len(cache.list_documents())}')
+for doc in cache.list_documents()[:5]:
+    print(f'  {doc.path} - {doc.size} bytes')
+"
+```
+
+#### 4. Memory and Resource Issues
+```bash
+# Monitor resource usage
+docker stats --no-stream docs-server
+
+# Optimize for limited resources
+export MCP_MAX_FILE_SIZE="2097152"        # 2MB limit
+export MCP_DEVICE="cpu"                   # Force CPU-only mode
+```
+
+#### 5. Network and Connectivity
+```bash
+# Test local connectivity
+curl -v http://localhost:8008/help
+
+# Debug HTTPS issues
+openssl s_client -connect localhost:8443 -servername localhost
+```
+
+### Debug Mode
+```bash
+# Enable comprehensive debugging
+python server.py --transport http --port 8008 --device auto
+```

+# Docker Configuration Updates - Changelog
+
+## Overview
+
+This document summarizes all the updates made to the Docker configuration to align with the latest server application changes and improvements.
+
+## 🔄 Changes Made
+
+### 1. Requirements.txt Updates
+
+**Added Missing Dependencies:**
+- `PyYAML>=6.0.0` - Required for YAML parsing in alias configuration support
+
+**Rationale:** The server.py uses `yaml.safe_load()` for loading version aliases but PyYAML was not included in the requirements.
+
+### 2. Dockerfile Improvements
+
+**Fixed Copy Path Issues:**
+- Changed `COPY ../requirements.txt .` to `COPY requirements.txt .`
+- Changed `COPY ../models.py .` to `COPY models.py .`
+- Changed `COPY ../server.py .` to `COPY server.py .`
+- Changed `COPY ../search_engine_faiss.py .` to `COPY search_engine_faiss.py .`
+- Changed `COPY ../embeddings /app/embeddings` to `COPY embeddings /app/embeddings`
+
+**Added Missing Files:**
+- Added `COPY index_builder_faiss.py .` - Required by the server application
+
+**Updated Default Command:**
+- Enhanced CMD with all necessary arguments matching server.py argument structure:
+  ```dockerfile
+  CMD ["python", "server.py", "--transport", "http", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "8008", "--server-name", "logzilla-docs-server", "--description", "logzilla documentation", "--model", "thenlper/gte-large", "--embedding-path", "/app/embeddings", "--embedding-name", "logzilla_md_docs", "--device", "auto", "--default-version", "latest"]
+  ```
+
+### 3. Docker Compose Configuration Updates
+
+**Environment Variables Alignment:**
+- Changed `MCP_MODEL_NAME` to `MCP_MODEL` (matches server.py argument parsing)
+- Changed `MCP_TRANSFORMER_DEVICE` to `MCP_DEVICE` (matches server.py argument parsing)
+- Fixed `MCP_EMBEDDING_NAME` from `docs_embeddings` to `logzilla_md_docs` (matches actual usage)
+- Added `MCP_DEFAULT_VERSION=latest` for version support
+
+**Volume Mounts:**
+- Added embeddings persistence: `- ../embeddings:/app/embeddings:rw`
+- Enabled model cache persistence: `- ./model_cache:/root/.cache/huggingface:rw`
+
+**Command Arguments:**
+- Updated command with complete argument set matching server.py:
+  ```yaml
+  command: >
+    python server.py 
+    --transport http 
+    --host 0.0.0.0 
+    --port 8008 
+    --server-name logzilla-docs-server 
+    --description "logzilla documentation"
+    --model thenlper/gte-large
+    --embedding-path /app/embeddings
+    --embedding-name logzilla_md_docs
+    --device auto
+    --default-version latest
+  ```
+
+### 4. .dockerignore Updates
+
+**Enhanced Exclusions:**
+- Added `tests/` directory exclusion
+- Added `.env` and `.env.local` exclusions for better security
+
+### 5. Documentation Enhancements
+
+**Added New Sections:**
+- **Model Pre-loading and Dependencies** - Documents the embedding model download process
+- **Environment Variables** - Comprehensive table of all MCP_ prefixed environment variables
+- **Updated Configuration Details** - Reflects all new volume mounts and settings
+
+**Updated Existing Sections:**
+- **Configuration Examples** - Updated to match new environment variables and command structure
+- **Key Configuration Details** - Added embeddings, model cache, and device information
+
+## 🎯 Key Improvements
+
+### 1. **Dependency Management**
+- All required Python packages are now properly declared
+- YAML support added for advanced configuration features
+
+### 2. **Path Resolution**
+- Fixed all relative path issues in Dockerfile
+- Proper context-relative paths for Docker build process
+
+### 3. **Configuration Consistency**
+- Environment variables now match server.py argument names exactly
+- Command-line arguments align with server.py parser definitions
+- Default values consistent across Dockerfile and compose.yml
+
+### 4. **Data Persistence**
+- Embeddings directory properly mounted for persistence
+- Model cache directory mounted to avoid re-downloading models
+- Logs directory maintained for debugging
+
+### 5. **Model Management**
+- Pre-downloading of embedding models during build process

+
+## 🔧 Technical Details
+
+### Environment Variable Mapping
+
+| Docker Compose Env | Server.py Argument | Purpose |
+|-------------------|-------------------|---------|
+| `MCP_TRANSPORT` | `--transport` | Protocol selection |
+| `MCP_HOST` | `--host` | Server bind address |
+| `MCP_PORT` | `--port` | Server port |
+| `MCP_SERVER_NAME` | `--server-name` | MCP server identifier |
+| `MCP_DESCRIPTION` | `--description` | Server description |
+| `MCP_MODEL` | `--model` | Embedding model name |
+| `MCP_EMBEDDING_PATH` | `--embedding-path` | Embeddings directory |
+| `MCP_EMBEDDING_NAME` | `--embedding-name` | Embedding file prefix |
+| `MCP_DEVICE` | `--device` | Compute device |
+| `MCP_DEFAULT_VERSION` | `--default-version` | Default doc version |
+
+### Volume Mount Strategy
+
+```yaml
+volumes:
+  # Documentation (read-only)
+  - ../logzilla-docs:/app/docs:ro
+  
+  # Embeddings (read-write for updates)
+  - ../embeddings:/app/embeddings:rw
+  
+  # Model cache (read-write for persistence)
+  - ./model_cache:/root/.cache/huggingface:rw
+  
+  # Logs (read-write for debugging)
+  - ./logs:/app/logs
+```
+
+## 🚀 Usage Impact
+
+### Before Updates
+- Missing dependencies caused runtime failures
+- Inconsistent environment variable names
+- No model persistence between rebuilds
+- Limited configuration options
+
+### After Updates
+- All dependencies properly declared and installed
+- Consistent configuration across all components
+- Model persistence reduces startup time
+- Full configuration flexibility via environment variables
+- Proper volume mounting for data persistence
+
+## 🧪 Testing Recommendations

+For existing deployments:
+
+1. **Update Environment Variables:** Change `MCP_MODEL_NAME` to `MCP_MODEL` and `MCP_TRANSFORMER_DEVICE` to `MCP_DEVICE`
+2. **Create Volume Directories:** Ensure `./model_cache` directory exists for model persistence
+3. **Rebuild Images:** Run `docker-compose build` to incorporate new dependencies
+4. **Update Compose Files:** Use the updated compose.yml as reference for custom deployments
+
+## ✅ Validation
+
+All changes have been validated against:
+- ✅ Server.py argument parsing structure
+- ✅ Environment variable naming conventions
+- ✅ Docker build context requirements
+- ✅ Volume mount permissions and paths
+- ✅ Health check endpoints
+- ✅ Model download and caching process

+# Pre-loading Embedding Models in Docker
+
+## Overview
+
+The vector search engine automatically downloads embedding models from HuggingFace when first initialized. To avoid this download delay at runtime, we pre-download the models during Docker build.
+
+## What Gets Downloaded
+
+The following models are downloaded during build (from `vector_search.py`):
+
+1. **sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2** (384D) - Fallback model
+2. **BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5** (384D) - Good balance of speed/accuracy
+3. **thenlper/gte-large** (1024D) - Default model, excellent for technical content
+4. **sentence-transformers/all-mpnet-base-v2** (768D) - High-quality semantic search
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Build Process
+1. `download_models.py` is copied into the container
+2. During `docker build`, the script downloads all models to `/root/.cache/huggingface/`
+3. Models are cached in the final image layer
+4. Runtime model loading becomes instant
+
+### Model Cache Location
+- **Container**: `/root/.cache/huggingface/`
+- **Host (optional)**: `./model_cache/` (if volume mounted)
+
+## Usage
+
+### Standard Build (models cached in image)
+```bash
+cd model-context-protocol/docs-server/docker
+docker-compose build
+docker-compose up
+```
+
+### With Persistent Cache (faster rebuilds)
+1. Uncomment the cache volume in `docker-compose.yml`:
+   ```yaml
+   volumes:
+     - ./model_cache:/root/.cache/huggingface:rw
+   ```
+
+2. Build and run:
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose build
+   docker-compose up
+   ```
+
+The `./model_cache/` directory will be created and models will persist between container rebuilds.
+
+## Benefits
+
+- **No runtime downloads**: Container starts immediately
+- **Offline capable**: Works without internet at runtime
+- **Consistent performance**: No download delays on first use
+- **Cache persistence**: Optional volume mounting for faster rebuilds
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If model download fails during build:
+1. Check internet connectivity during build
+2. Verify `sentence-transformers>=2.2.2` in requirements.txt
+3. Check build logs for specific model errors
+4. Some models are larger (gte-large ~1GB) - ensure sufficient disk space
+
+The script will continue if some models fail, as long as at least one downloads successfully.

+  mcp-docs-server:prod
+```
+
+## 🔒 Security Considerations
+
+### Container Security
+
+```bash
+# Run with security options
+docker run -d \
+  --name logzilla-docs-server \
+  --restart unless-stopped \
+  --security-opt no-new-privileges:true \
+  --cap-drop ALL \
+  --cap-add CHOWN \
+  --cap-add SETGID \
+  --cap-add SETUID \
+  --read-only \
+  --tmpfs /tmp \
+  --tmpfs /var/run \
+  -p 127.0.0.1:8008:8008 \
+  mcp-docs-server:prod
+```
+
+### Network Security
+
+```yaml
+# Restrict network access
+services:
+  logzilla-docs-server:
+    # ... other configuration
+    ports:
+      - "127.0.0.1:8008:8008"  # Only bind to localhost
+    networks:
+      - internal

+networks:
+  internal:
+    driver: bridge
+    internal: true  # No external access
+```
+
+## 📊 Monitoring and Logging
+
+### Container Monitoring
+
+```bash
+# Monitor resource usage
+docker stats logzilla-docs-server
+
+# Check container health
+docker inspect logzilla-docs-server | grep -A 10 "Health"
+
+# View detailed logs
+docker-compose -f compose.yml logs -f --tail=100 logzilla-docs-server
+```
+
+### Log Management
+
+```yaml
+# Enhanced logging configuration
+services:
+  logzilla-docs-server:
+    # ... other configuration
+    logging:
+      driver: "json-file"
+      options:
+        max-size: "100m"
+        max-file: "5"
+        labels: "service=docs-server,environment=production"
+```
+
+### Health Monitoring
+
+```bash
+# Health check endpoint
+curl http://127.0.0.1:8008/help
+
+# Container health status
+docker inspect logzilla-docs-server --format='{{.State.Health.Status}}'
+
+# Automated health monitoring script
+#!/bin/bash
+while true; do
+  if curl -f http://127.0.0.1:8008/help > /dev/null 2>&1; then
+    echo "$(date): Server is healthy"
+  else

+
+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Docker Issues
+
+#### Container Won't Start
+```bash
+# Check container logs
+docker logs logzilla-docs-server
+
+# Test server health
+curl http://127.0.0.1:8008/help
+
+# Check container status
+docker ps -a
+
+# Inspect container configuration
+docker inspect logzilla-docs-server
+
+# Check resource usage
+docker stats logzilla-docs-server
+```
+
+#### Port Binding Issues
+```bash
+# Check what's using port 8008
+sudo netstat -tulpn | grep :8008
+
+# Use different port
+docker run -p 127.0.0.1:8009:8008 mcp-docs-server
+
+# Check Docker port mapping
+docker port logzilla-docs-server
+```
+
+#### Volume Mount Problems
+```bash
+# Check volume mounts
+docker inspect logzilla-docs-server | grep -A 10 "Mounts"
+
+# Test volume accessibility
+docker run --rm \
+  -v /path/to/docs:/test:ro \
+  alpine ls -la /test
+
+# Fix permissions
+sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /path/to/docs
+```
+
+#### Service Communication Issues
+```bash
+# Test container networking
+docker network ls
+docker network inspect logzilla-docs-network
+
+# Check DNS resolution inside container
+docker exec logzilla-docs-server nslookup google.com
+
+# Test internal connectivity
+docker exec logzilla-docs-server curl http://localhost:8008/help
+```
+
+### Performance Optimization
+
+#### Memory Optimization
+```bash
+# Monitor memory usage
+docker stats --format "table {{.Container}}\t{{.CPUPerc}}\t{{.MemUsage}}\t{{.MemPerc}}"
+
+# Limit memory
+docker run --memory=1g --memory-swap=2g mcp-docs-server
+
+# Optimize for memory-constrained environments
+docker run \
+  -e MCP_DEVICE=cpu \
+  -e MCP_MAX_FILE_SIZE=5242880 \
+  mcp-docs-server
+```
+
+#### CPU Optimization
+```bash
+# Limit CPU usage
+docker run --cpus=0.5 mcp-docs-server
+
+# Check CPU usage
+docker exec logzilla-docs-server top
+
+# Enable GPU support (if available)
+docker run --gpus all \
+  -e MCP_DEVICE=cuda \
+  mcp-docs-server
+```
+
+## 📚 Quick Reference
+
+### Essential Commands
+
+```bash
+# Start server
+docker-compose -f compose.yml up -d
+
+# View logs
+docker-compose -f compose.yml logs -f logzilla-docs-server
+
+# Stop server
+docker-compose -f compose.yml down
+
+# Check status
+curl http://127.0.0.1:8008/help
+
+# Access container
+docker-compose -f compose.yml exec logzilla-docs-server bash
+
+# Restart service
+docker-compose -f compose.yml restart logzilla-docs-server
+
+# View resource usage
+docker stats logzilla-docs-server
+```
+
+### Key URLs
+
+- **Server Help**: http://127.0.0.1:8008/help
+- **MCP Endpoint**: http://127.0.0.1:8008/logzilla-docs-server/mcp
+- **Container Logs**: `docker-compose -f compose.yml logs logzilla-docs-server`
+
+### Configuration Files
+
+- **Main**: `compose.yml` - Default configuration
+- **Development**: `compose.dev.yml` - Development overrides
+- **Production**: `compose.prod.yml` - Production configuration
+- **HA Setup**: `compose.ha.yml` - High availability
+
+## 📝 Testing with Production Docs
+
+**Important**: To run tests against the server with your production documentation:
+
+```bash
+# Start the Docker container
+cd docker
+docker-compose -f compose.yml up -d
+cd ..  # Return to main directory - REQUIRED for Python imports
+
+# Run tests (must be from main directory for Python imports to work)
+python tests/test_mcp_responses.py
+python tests/test_search_routines.py  
+python tests/test_http.py
+python tests/test_stdio.py
+```
+
+You must start the server in order for this one:
+```
+python tests/test_http_client.py
+```
+
+The server will serve your `logzilla-docs` content at:
+- **Help page**: http://127.0.0.1:8008/help  
+- **MCP endpoint**: http://127.0.0.1:8008/logzilla-docs-server/mcp

+
+LogZilla comes packaged with 14 pre-built widgets. Two for event rates, one for LastN (which can be used as-is, or customized), one for messaging, five system widgets, one for messaging, and two for TopN (also highly customizable).
+
+---
+
+**Event Rate Widgets** – These widgets give you a quick view of your current and long-term event rates. Large changes in these can give indications of changes in traffic, configuration problems, or security events, among other things. Spikes in these graphs should be investigated as a part of routine maintenance.
+
+![Event Rate Widget](@@path/images/event-rate-widget.png)
+
+---
+
+**LastN Widgets** – The sample widget in this section shows the Most Recent Event Sources. By changing the title and parameters, though, it can display Mnemonics, Hosts, or other data.
+
+![LastN Widget](@@path/images/lastn-widget.png)
+
+---
+
+**Messaging** – This widget displays the Latest Unread Notifications. Notifications are generated by triggers that users create. See the [Alerts Overview](/help/alerts/alerts_overview) documentation for more information.
+
+![Messaging](@@path/images/notifications-widget.png)
+
+---
+
+**System Widgets** – Allow you to monitor the status of your LogZilla server. Options include CPU Load, Memory Usage, Network Utilization, Storage, and Disk IOPS. For high traffic servers that require 100% uptime, these widgets can help indicate issues before they become downtime.
+
+![System Widgets](@@path/images/system-widget.png)
+

+# Customizing Existing Widgets
+
+Widgets may be customized to display only the data you wish to see. The
+following examples show how to set various options for both a
+`Top Hosts` (which are `TopN`-type charts) and `Top Programs` widgets.
+
+<figure>
+<img src="@@path/images/edit-widget.png" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;" alt="Edit Widget" />
+<figcaption aria-hidden="true">

+</figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+Access the customization menu by clicking the widget’s “options” icon (3
+dots). Next, select **edit** from the menu to access the widget
+settings.

+</figure>
+
+By changing the Title, Description, and Field, we can easily turn this
+into a widget for showing our top severities.
+
+You can also monitor your top Cisco Mnemonics, or add a search term like
+‘failed login’. The Title and Description need to be modified by the
+user to be clear about the information shown in the widget. The Field
+lets you decide what data you want to display.
+
+<figure>
+<img src="@@path/images/edit-widget-field.jpg" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;" alt="Edit Widget Field" />
+<figcaption aria-hidden="true">
+Edit Widget Field
+</figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+The Filter section lets you narrow your results similarly to the main
+search bar in LogZilla. You add a search term, such as ‘failed login’,
+then select all of your Windows servers from the Host section. This will
+give you a widget that displays only failed login events generated by
+your Windows hosts. You can similarly filter your results by Severity,
+Facility, Program, Mnemonic, or Type (Unknown, Actionable, or
+Non-actionable). So, selecting all ‘CONFIG’ mnemonics would display
+configuration changes from your routers and switches.
+
+<figure>
+<img src="@@path/images/edit-widget-filter.jpg" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;" alt="Edit Widget Filters" />
+<figcaption aria-hidden="true">
+Edit Widget Filters
+</figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+User tags can be used in the filter. User tags are special key/value
+pairs associated with each individual event. The LogZilla rules can
+parse the data in each event message and then set specific named
+(configurable) tags to values from the event data. For example, some
+common tags are `DstIP` and `DstPort`, respectively representing the
+destination IP address and the destination IP port for the given event.
+User tag `DstIP` could for example have value `192.168.0.2`.
+
+The widget can be filtered based on user tags. If the “User Tag”
+dropdown is selected, optionally at the top of the dropdown a filter for
+the desired user tag name can be entered (such as if user tag `DstPort`
+is desired then “Dst” can be entered in the search field at the top of
+the dropdown, and each user tag with a name containing “Dst”, such as
+`DstPort` will be listed).
+
+Once the desired user tag is shown it can be clicked to open the values
+dropdown. The values dropdown allows choosing the particular values for
+the given user tag either to be included or excluded, such that only
+those events with the chosen values for the designated user tag will be
+included in the widget, or those with the chosen values will be
+specifically excluded from the widget. The top of this dropdown as well
+contains the search box to find particular values of interest. Multiple
+user tag values can be chosen by clicking on each and a checkmark will
+be shown next to those so designated as an indicator, or the checked
+ones can be clicked once more to deselect them.
+
+A special value of `*` can be typed in, then selected. This value has a
+special meaning: it selects only those events that have *some* value for
+the designated user tag. This is useful because not every event may
+contain every user tag. For example, there may be events that have no
+SrcPort, and those events are not desired to be included. In order to
+select only those events that have a value for SrcPort, without
+distinction of what that value is, the `*` filter value should be used.

+<figcaption aria-hidden="true">

+</figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+The Limit allows you to control how many results are shown in your
+widget, while ‘Show other’ toggles the display of items that don’t fit
+the standard categories of the selected filter. For example, for ‘Top N’
+params, it will also show other values aggregated into one value. The
+final selection is ‘View type’, which allows you to select the chart
+type that best fits your other widget options.

+# Creating widgets from search results
+
+If you find that you run a particular search on a regular basis, you can
+click the ‘Save to dashboard’ button. This will prompt you to name the
+widget and select the dashboard that it should be displayed on. You can

+<!-- @@@title:Search Syntax@@@ -->
+
+# Search Syntax
+
+LogZilla provides standard boolean-type search syntax much like you would expect when using Google. The only difference is the ability to append a wildcard (`*`)
+
+* All searches are case *insensitive*
+* All searches must contain at least 4 characters at a minimum unless otherwise configured by your administrator.
+
+**Correct search syntax:**
+
+Example 1:
+
+```
+hello*
+```
+
+**Incorrect search syntax (too few characters)**
+
+```
+hel*
+
+```
+
+The 4 character minimum is set in a config at the OS level which administrators can opt to change at the cost of using more memory for indexing. Customers are welcome to contact us for guidance if this is desired.
+
+
+# Boolean Examples
+
+## Phrase Search
+
+```
+"hello world"
+```
+
+## Operator AND
+The `AND` is automatically implied when separating search words with a space and **should not** be included in your search criteria.
+
+For example, searching on the text `hello world` would return results for both `hello` and `world`.
+
+## Operator NOT
+The `!` or `-` operators may be used to find events `NOT` containing the specified text. For example:
+
+```
+hello -world
+```
+
+Or
+
+```
+hello !world
+```
+
+## Operator OR
+
+A `|` (pipe) operator may be used to find events matching either of the given terms. For example:
+
+```
+hello | world
+```
+Would return all events matching "hello" or "world".
+
+```
+hello | other | world
+```
+Would return all events matching "hello" or "other" or "world".
+
+
+
+## Boolean Mode Wildcard
+
+Many Network and Systems logs will include names such as `GigabitEthernet1/0/0`, etc. The wildcard feature allows users to specify a search term when they may not know the trailing characters. 
+
+For example:
+```
+gigabitethernet1*
+```
+Would return results for `GigabitEthernet1/0/0`, `GigabitEthernet1/0/2`, or even `GigabitEthernet100`.
+
+A **prefix/infix wildcard** may also be used:
+
+```
+*bitethernet1/*/2
+```
+Would return results for `GigabitEthernet1/0/0`, `GigabitEthernet1/1/2` but not `GigabitEthernet100`.
+
+## Grouping
+
+Note that expression *grouping* can be used. This is surrounding a search
+expression with parentheses "(" ")" . This must be used in cases in a
+multi-term search expression is used with an OR operator "|", in order to
+clarify which terms are handled by the OR. For example, to indicate that you
+want to find messages that contain the expression "foo bar", OR messages that
+contain "baz" but *not* "boz", you would do the following:
+
+```
+"foo bar" | (baz -boz)
+```
+
+## Invalid Search Syntax
+The following examples show some of the mixed-mode searches which are not supported at this time:
+
+* Searches containing both `OR` and `NOT` operator's combined:
+
+```
+hello | -world
+```
+
+* Mixed "Phrase" `AND` or `NOT`
+
+```
+"hello world" !world2
+```
+
+```
+"hello world" world
+```
+
+* Negative searching without a preceding positive search
+
+```
+!hello
+```
+
+>This would be analogous to searching Google for every word on the internet that does `NOT` contain the word hello. Which, of course, would not be very useful.

+
+The Search Results page will provide a list of events matching the criteria set by one of:
+
+* The Main Query Bar
+* Widget Data Search
+* Direct URL Entry
+
+
+# Main Query Bar
+
+The Query Bar provides an easy-to-use interface for setting filters on queries. For syntax on text matching, please refer to the [Search Syntax](/help/using_the_dashboard/search_syntax) help document.
+
+**Main Query Bar**
+![Query Bar](@@path/images/query_bar.png)
+
+
+Users may also set more filtering criteria using the query bar such as:
+
+* Severity
+* Host
+* Facility
+* Program
+* Cisco Mnemonics
+* Time Range
+* Type (Actionable, Non-Actionable, Unknown)
+* User Tag
+
+Each dropdown provides a list of recently seen entries. Wildcards may be used to search for any unlisted entries in the dropdown.
+
+In the example below, the search results would return all events matching `ASA-6-305*`. 
+
+Note that after typing `ASA-6-305*` (case-sensitive) you must **select the wildcard pattern typed in** as seen below in the screenshot (indicated by the <font color="blue">blue</font> check mark).
+
+
+**Query Bar Filter Example**
+![Query Bar Filters](@@path/images/query_bar_filter.png)
+
+
+# Widget Data Search
+
+All widgets have an option to perform a search of the data contained in the widget itself. This allows the user to perform searches without having to manually enter all of the filter criteria set in that widget. 
+
+For example, the widget below has a filter set for showing only the Top 5 hosts which contain the word `failed` in the message.
+
+
+**Top 5 Widget With Filters**
+![Filtered Widget](@@path/images/top_5_hosts_with_failed.png)
+
+**Settings For The Widget Above**
+![Filtered Widget Settings](@@path/images/top_5_hosts_with_failed-settings.png)
+
+
+To search for all events contained in that widget, simply select the widget handle, then click **Run as Search Query**
+
+**Query From Widget**
+![Query From Widget](@@path/images/query_from_widget.png)
+
+
+
+# Direct URL Entry
+
+LogZilla also allows direct searching via the browser's URL by typing the query string along with any desired filter criteria.
+
+```
+http://logzilla.company.com/search?{querystring}
+```
+
+
+## Usage
+
+* The `search` call must start with a question mark, i.e.: `/search?msg=foo`
+* It may contain keys with or without values separated by an `=` (equal) sign or pairs separated by ampersand.
+ - If multiple values for a single parameter are present in the URL (e.g.: `/search?facility=USER&facility=KERN`), the requested search for these two items will return results for `either` of the two filters (boolean `OR`).
+
+###### Example
+
+```http
+http://logzilla.company.com/search?msg=successful%20auth&facility=USER&severity=Info&time_range=2017-12-13T00:00~14T00:00
+```
+
+## URL Query String Parameters
+
+### `msg`
+**Type: `string`**
+
+Search terms are encoded as a [Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986) component ([`encodeURIComponent()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/encodeURIComponent) function or equivalent) supporting mixed-mode [search syntax](/help/using_the_dashboard/search_syntax) searches.

+# LogZilla Dashboard Import and Export
+
+LogZilla's dynamic system offers comprehensive capabilities for importing and exporting dashboards. The import and export functions are designed with flexibility in mind, allowing users to tailor dashboards as required, promoting the sharing of efficient dashboard configurations across teams and fostering a collaborative work environment.
+
+With these capabilities, users can export a dashboard, execute the necessary changes, then re-import it back into the system. This feature enhances customization, enabling users to configure their dashboards for specific needs, further enhancing the robustness of the LogZilla platform.
+
+In the following sections, we will delve into the structure of LogZilla dashboards, explore the various ways to manipulate them, and provide practical examples to guide you in maximizing these features.
+
+# Dashboard Format in LogZilla
+
+A LogZilla dashboard is stored in either a standard YAML or JSON format. These formats facilitate easy sharing and modification of dashboards. The below YAML example depicts the basic structure of a LogZilla dashboard:
+
+```yaml
+- config:
+    style_class: infographic
+    time_range:
+      preset: last_1_hours
+    title: Meraki DHCP
+  is_public: true
+  widgets:
+    - config:
+        col: 0
+        filter:
+          - field: program
+            value: Meraki DHCP
+        row: 0
+        show_avg: true
+        show_last: false
+        show_max: true
+        show_min: false
+        sizeX: 6
+        time_range:
+          preset: last_1_minutes
+        title: Meraki DHCP Events Per Second
+      type: EventRate
+```
+In this configuration, the key components of a dashboard include `config`, `is_public`, and `widgets`. Each `widget` contains a `config` key that specifies the `type` of the widget and the `filter` applied to it. The `config` key also contains layout settings such as column and row placement (`col` and `row`), display size (`sizeX`), and the time range (`time_range`).
+
+In the next section, we will explore how to manipulate these dashboard configurations through the LogZilla user interface (UI) and the command line.
+
+# Manipulating Dashboards in LogZilla
+
+In LogZilla, dashboards can be manipulated or altered in various ways. The dashboard manipulation menu in the UI allows you to *Clone*, *Import*, and *Export* dashboards. In addition, each widget in a dashboard can be modified directly from the dashboard display, allowing for on-the-spot changes.
+
+It's worth noting that these manipulations aren't limited to the UI. LogZilla also supports importing and exporting dashboards from the command line.
+
+## Dashboard Manipulation via UI
+
+Here's a look at the dashboard actions that can be performed through the UI:
+
+![Dashboard Manipulation Menu](@@path/images/dashboard-manipulation-menu.jpg)
+
+
+- *Clone*: This feature allows you to create a copy of an existing dashboard.
+- *Import*: This lets you upload a dashboard configuration file from your machine, thereby reading and loading the dashboard into the system.
+- *Export*: Conversely, this writes a dashboard configuration file and downloads it onto your machine, effectively saving your dashboard for later use or sharing.
+
+## Dashboard Manipulation via Command Line
+
+The command line also provides similar capabilities for dashboard manipulation. Here are examples of how you can import and export dashboards from the command line:
+
+### Import
+To import a dashboard from a JSON file, use the following command:
+
+    LogZilla dashboards import -I mydashboards.yaml
+
+### Export
+To export a dashboard to a JSON file, use the following command:
+
+    logzilla dashboards export -O mydashboards.yaml
+
+The `-I` flag is used to specify the input file for the import command, while the `-O` flag is used to specify the output file for the export command.
+
+To use the YAML format instead of JSON, add the `-F yaml` option to the above commands.
+
+In the following sections, we will discuss how dashboards from apps can be used and provide an example of how to export, modify, and import a dashboard.
+
+# Using Dashboards from Apps in LogZilla
+
+In LogZilla, dashboards are included with the provided *apps*. Once an app is installed, you can carry out a full range of activities on that dashboard, including cloning, editing, importing, and deleting.
+
+These features can be very useful when you want to customize the provided dashboards and accompanying widgets for your specific environment.
+
+## The Power of App Dashboards
+
+The power of using dashboards from apps is that they often provide useful insights and data visualization out of the box. This can be particularly beneficial when you're getting started or when you need to quickly set up a new dashboard.
+
+However, you might find that while a dashboard from an app provides a good starting point, it doesn't quite meet your specific needs. In such cases, you have the flexibility to modify these dashboards as needed, taking advantage of the importing and exporting capabilities provided by LogZilla.
+
+## Example: Exporting, Changing, and Importing a Dashboard
+
+In the following section, we'll walk through an example of how to export, modify, and then import a dashboard in LogZilla.
+
+# Scenario: Modifying the "Linux DNSmasq" App Dashboard
+
+Assume that we have installed an *app*, in this case, "Linux DNSmasq", and it includes a dashboard that is mostly fitting, but not entirely perfect for our needs. We'll use the "Linux: dnsmasq Events" dashboard for this example, specifically focusing on the "dnsmasq-dhcp: Live Stream" widget, which presents a constant stream of incoming DHCP log messages.
+
+In our scenario, by default, this widget displays events of type "query", "cached", and "reply":
+
+![Dashboard with Cached Events](@@path/images/dashboard-dnsmasq-with-cached.jpg)
+
+However, for our dashboard's purpose, we are not interested in "cached" events and would prefer not to have our widget display them. 
+
+To achieve this, we will:
+
+1. Export the dashboard
+2. Edit the configuration file
+3. Re-import the modified dashboard
+
+## Step 1: Exporting the Dashboard
+
+Begin by clicking on "Export to file" as illustrated in the dashboard manipulation menu described earlier. The dashboard configuration file will be downloaded to your preferred location:
+
+![Dashboard File Download](@@path/images/dashboard-file-download.jpg)
+
+## Step 2: Editing the Configuration File
+
+After downloading the dashboard configuration file, you'll observe that it contains JSON data all on a single line, without line breaks. To make the file easier to edit, we recommend using a JSON formatter to prettify the JSON data.
+
+The JSON dashboard configuration file starts like:
+
+```JSON
+{
+    "config": {
+        "style_class": "infographic",
+        "time_range": {
+            "preset": "last_1_minutes"
+        },
+        "title": "Linux: dnsmasq Events"
+    },
+    "widgets": [
+        {
+```
+
+And it is followed by widget configuration elements. Navigate to the configuration for our live-stream widget:
+
+```JSON
+        {
+            "config": {
+                "col": 0,
+                "columns": [
+                    "severity",
+                    "host",
+                    "facility",
+                    "program",
+                    "message",
+                    "first_occurrence",
+                    "last_occurrence",
+                    "counter"
+                ],
+                "filter": [
+                    {
+                        "field": "program",
+                        "op": "eq",
+                        "value": [
+                            "dnsmasq*"
+                        ]
+                    }
+                ],
+                "limit": 16,
+                "row": 1,
+                "sizeX": 6,
+                "sizeY": 2,
+                "sort": "-first_occurrence",
+                "title": "dnsmasq-dhcp: Live Stream"
+            },
+            "type": "Search"
+        }
+```
+
+Our goal is to add a filter that excludes messages with the DHCP event type "cached". To do this, we add the following filter:
+
+```JSON
+      "filter": [
+          {
+              "field": "program",
+              "op": "eq",
+              "value": [
+                  "dnsmasq*"
+              ]
+          },
+					{
+						"field": "message",
+						"op": "ne",
+						"value": [
+							"*cached*"
+						]
+					}
+        ],
+```
+
+## Step 3: Importing the Modified Dashboard
+
+With our changes made, we're ready to replace the old dashboard with the modified one. First, we need to remove the old dashboard using the following command:
+
+`logzilla dashboards remove "Linux: dnsmasq Events"`:
+
+```
+These dashboards will be removed:
+id: 270, title: Linux: dnsmasq Events, public: False, widgets: 4
+Do you want to remove all selected dashboards [Y/n]
+```
+
+After removing the old dashboard, we can import the modified one with the following command:
+
+`logzilla dashboards import -I linux-dnsmasq-events.dashboard.json`
+
+The absence of any output indicates a successful import.
+
+Now, returning to our LogZilla UI dashboard (and refreshing it), we see the following:
+
+![Dashboard without Cached Events](@@path/images/dashboard-dnsmasq-without-cached.jpg)
+
+And that's it! Our modified dashboard now displays exactly what we want, demonstrating the power and flexibility of LogZilla's dashboard import/export feature.

+
+LogZilla dashboards are designed to present data in an interactive and real-time manner. Central to these dashboards are widgets, the foundational elements that serve to display this data. Every widget has the capability to present real-time information, ensuring users have immediate access to the most up-to-date and pertinent data.
+
+The adaptability of LogZilla's widgets sets them apart. They offer a wide range of customization options, from adjusting visualizations to meet the needs of a specific audience to focusing on particular data subsets.
+
+Key features of the LogZilla dashboards include:
+
+- **Multiple Custom Dashboards**: Design various dashboards specifically tailored for individual tasks, departments, or goals.
+
+- **Role-Based Permissions (RBAC)**: LogZilla integrates Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to meticulously manage both data and user interface (UI) access:
+  
+    * **Access to Data**: RBAC governs which data sets a user or a group can access. For instance, in a widget showcasing top hosts, users will only visualize those hosts they have been granted permission to view.
+      
+    *  **Access to UI Components**: Beyond just data, RBAC also determines the UI components and functionalities a user can access or modify. This encompasses managing dashboards, viewing notifications, using the "online mode" (which encompasses functionalities like geoip lookups, ICMP, telnet, SSH, and more), executing searches, creating or viewing triggers, running reports, and tasks.
+

+
+Trigger Firing Order
+---
+Note that the order in which triggers are listed are the same order they will be matched upon (from top to bottom of the page). Once a match is made and stop flag is enabled for the trigger, no other triggers are processed. Thus, it is important that you start with the most finite matches and prioritize wider ranging matches further down the list.
+
+For example, a match on `interface` would match `interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1`, `interface GigabitEthernet1/0/2`, etc., then stop processing further rules. 
+
+Instead, you may want a more finite match such as `GigabitEthernet1/0/1` to be ordered higher (or lower depending on the intent).
+
+Creating a Trigger
+---
+
+In the LogZilla UI, click the 'Triggers' link in the top menu. There, you'll see a button near the top of the page 'Add new trigger', and below that a list of any triggers already created on your server. Clicking the button will allow you to create a trigger with no pre-set information selected. This is the easiest way to create triggers that will apply to the widest range of conditions.
+
+If you'd like to monitor failed logins for all of your servers, this is the best place to do it. Simply click the button, give your new trigger a name, and enter your search criteria, 'failed login' in the 'Event match' section. By default, 'Issue Notification' is already selected, so for a system wide rule, that's all you need to do. Just click 'Save changes' and your trigger will be active.
+
+![Add new trigger](@@path/images/add-new-trigger.png)
+
+User tags can be used in the filter.  User tags are special key/value pairs associated with each individual event.  The LogZilla rules can parse the data in each event message and then set specific named (configurable) tags to values from the event data.  For example, some common tags are `DstIP` and `DstPort`, respectively representing the destination IP address and the destination IP port for the given event.  User tag `DstIP` could for example have value `192.168.0.2`.
+
+Triggering events can be filtered based on user tags.  If the "User Tag" dropdown is selected, optionally at the top of the dropdown a filter for the desired user tag name can be entered (such as if user tag `DstPort` is desired then "Dst" can be entered in the search field at the top of the dropdown, and each user tag with a name containing "Dst", such as `DstPort` will be listed).  
+
+Once the desired user tag is shown it can be clicked to open the values dropdown.  The values dropdown allows choosing the particular values for the given user tag either to be included or excluded, such that only those events with the chosen values for the designated user tag will cause the trigger, or those with the chosen values will be specifically excluded from causing the trigger.  The top of this dropdown as well contains the search box to find particular values of interest.  Multiple user tag values can be chosen by clicking on each and a check mark will be shown next to those so designated as an indicator, or the checked ones can be clicked once more to deselect them.
+
+A special value of `*` can be typed in, then selected.  This value has special meaning:  it selects only those events that have *some* value for the designated user tag.  This is useful because not every event may contain every user tag.  For example there may be events that have no SrcPort, and those events are not desired to be included.  In order to select only those events that have a value for SrcPort, without distinction of what that value is, the `*` filter value should be used.

+<!-- @@@title:Explanation of Actions@@@-->
+
+### Mark As
+
+This allows users to mark incoming events as Actionable or Non-actionable. This simplifies future searches when using these options from the 'Type' drop down in the search bar.
+
+![Query Bar](@@path/images/query-bar.png)
+
+The value of this is that everyday events that administrators don't need cluttering search results can be marked as Non-actionable, while events like 'low disk space', 'fan failure', or 'CPU over-utilization' can be marked as Actionable.
+
+When searching, events that are not marked with either can be found by selecting the 'Unknown' type.
+
+### Send E-mail
+
+For high priority events, administrators may need immediate notification of occurrence. Selecting this option allows you to enter the address of the person or team responsible.
+
+![Send e-mail](@@path/images/send-email.png)
+
+Users can also add a Subject and message content for this trigger. Variables that can be used are:
+
+* `{{event:host}}`
+* `{{event:severity}}`
+* `{{event:facility}}`
+* `{{event:first_occurrence}}`
+* `{{event:last_occurrence}}`
+* `{{event:program}}`
+* `{{event:cisco_mnemonic}}`
+* `{{event:snareid}}`
+* `{{event:message}}`
+* `{{event:ut:abc}}`  
+  (the meaning of this is "user tag named abc")  
+* `{{regexp:message:abc:n}}`  
+  (see explanation below)
+
+`Match-Message` can be used to match portions of the event message based on a regular expression.  The syntax is:  
+`Match-Message-xyz: matchname="regex"`  
+where "xyz" is an identifier for what this regular expression match should be named, "matchname" is a name for the variable to be set to the match, and "regex" is the regular expression indicating how to match and find the desired variable.  
+For example:  `Match-Message-EndpointMacAddress: EndpointMacAddress="((?:\w\w:){5}\w\w)"`  
+Then to use the extracted values, refer to them as `{{regexp:message:abc:n}}`, where n is 0 for the whole match, or 1, 2, and so on for content of n-th parenthesized group in the regular expression.
+In the example given this would be `{{regex:message:EndpointIPAddress:1}}`.
+&nbsp;  
+&nbsp;  
+See the Settings sections of the documentation for information on setting your SMTP options for email alerts.
+
+### Add note
+
+When an event occurs, other users may need to be given more information to reduce duplication of effort.
+
+![Add note](@@path/images/add-note.png)
+
+### Issue Notification
+
+Selecting this option will produce a notification that will increment in the page header, and show up on the notifications page.
+
+![Issue Notification](@@path/images/issue-notification.png)
+
+From the notifications page, users can Search, View, Edit, and Delete notifications. More information on this can be found in the Notifications section of the documentation.
+
+### Execute Script
+
+This option is one of LogZilla's most powerful features. Users can write and execute their own scripts and trigger them whenever an event occurs. Just enter the name of the script to run in the box, and it will run whenever the event recurs.
+
+![Execute Script](@@path/images/execute-script.png)

+
+## Script Types  
+LogZilla can execute various types of scripts, including:
+
+- Python  
+- Perl  
+- sh, bash, zsh, csh, etc.  
+- Compiled Executables
+
+## Script Environment  
+All triggers passed to a script contain the matched message information as  
+environment variables. To manipulate any of the data, simply reference the  
+corresponding environment variable.
+
+The following list of variables is automatically passed into each script:
+
+
+    # EVENT_ID                      =   <integer>
+    # EVENT_SEVERITY                =   <integer>
+    # EVENT_FACILITY                =   <integer>
+    # EVENT_MESSAGE                 =   <string>
+    # EVENT_HOST                    =   <string>
+    # EVENT_PROGRAM                 =   <string>
+    # EVENT_CISCO_MNEMONIC          =   <string>
+    # EVENT_USER_TAGS               =   <string>
+    # EVENT_STATUS                  =   <integer>
+    # EVENT_FIRST_OCCURRENCE        =   <float>
+    # EVENT_LAST_OCCURRENCE         =   <float>
+    # EVENT_COUNTER                 =   <integer>
+    # TRIGGER_ID                    =   <integer>
+    # TRIGGER_AUTHOR                =   <string>
+    # TRIGGER_AUTHOR_EMAIL          =   <string>
+    # TRIGGER_HITS_COUNT            =   <integer>
+
+## Script Execution  
+
+Scripts may be executed directly or within dedicated Docker containers,  
+depending on your script's requirements:
+
+### Simple Scripts  
+For simple scripts that do not require anything beyond what is available in a  
+standard Linux install, simply place your script in the `/etc/logzilla/scripts`  
+directory and select it in the UI when creating a trigger.
+
+Here's an example of a simple shell script that logs the environment variables  
+to the `logzilla.log`:
+
+1. Create a `test.sh` file in `/etc/logzilla/scripts/`:
+
+    ``` bash
+    cat << EOF > /etc/logzilla/scripts/test.sh
+    #!/bin/bash
+    # Print all environment variables matching '^EVENT_' to the log
+    echo "Test script env vars" >> /var/log/logzilla/logzilla.log
+    env | grep '^EVENT_' >> /var/log/logzilla/logzilla.log
+    EOF
+    ```
+
+2. Make sure the script is executable:
+
+    ``` bash
+    chmod 755 /etc/logzilla/scripts/test.sh
+    ```
+
+3. Reload script-server:
+
+    ``` bash
+    logzilla restart -c scriptserver
+    ```
+
+
+
+Once the script is in place and executable, you can select it from the LogZilla  
+UI when creating a trigger.
+
+### Custom Scripts  
+
+For scripts that require additional libraries or programs, such as Python  
+packages, you may use your own Docker image containing all required modules.  
+
+
+### Working Example: Custom Docker Container  
+
+In this example, we will create a container that brings up an interface on a
+Cisco device after it is shut down, then send a notification to Slack. The
+script uses Python and Netmiko to SSH into the device and apply the necessary
+configuration changes.
+
+>Note: All of the files below are also available on
+[our GitHub Repo](https://github.com/logzilla/extras/tree/master/howtos/trigger-cisco-config)
+
+
+### Prepare custom image
+
+Create a work directory used for Dockerfile and scripts
+
+
+#### Python Script
+
+> NOTE: The following sample code is user-contributed and should be
+  reviewed prior to using it verbatim in production.
+
+- Download or create `compliance.py` using the example from
+[our GitHub repo](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/logzilla/extras/master/howtos/trigger-cisco-config/compliance.py)
+
+- make the script executable
+
+#### Yaml and Slack Key
+
+Create a `compliance.yaml` file and update your Slack webhook key. Edit the
+YAML configuration to fit your environment by updating the following
+variables:
+
+``` yaml
+# Cisco credentials
+ciscoUsername: "cisco"
+ciscoPassword: "cisco"
+
+# Slack settings
+# Replace the value below with your actual post URL
+posturl: "https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
+default_channel: "#demo"
+slack_user: "logzilla-bot"
+
+# Logging and debug settings
+log_file: "/var/log/logzilla/logzilla.log"
+
+# Change to 0 in production:
+debug_level: 2  # 0, 1, or 2
+
+bring_interface_up: true
+
+# Execution timeout for device connection and Slack:
+timeout: 10
+```
+
+#### Dockerfile
+
+Create a new file named `Dockerfile` with the following content:
+
+``` Dockerfile
+# Use a logzilla script-server base image
+FROM logzilla/script-server:latest
+
+# Copy the requirements.txt file to the container
+COPY requirements.txt /tmp/requirements.txt
+
+# Install Python dependencies
+RUN pip install -r /tmp/requirements.txt \
+    --no-cache-dir --break-system-packages --root-user-action=ignore
+
+# Copy script content to the container
+RUN mkdir -p /scripts
+COPY compliance.py /scripts
+COPY compliance.yaml /scripts
+```
+
+#### Requirements.txt
+
+Create a `requirements.txt` file with the following content:
+
+``` text
+paramiko
+requests
+pyyaml
+netmiko
+```
+
+#### Docker compose file:
+
+Create a `compose.yaml` file with the following content:
+
+
+``` yaml
+services:
+  api:
+    build:
+      context: .
+    container_name: compliance-script-server
+    environment:
+      SCRIPTS_ENABLED: "1"
+      SCRIPTS_DIR: /scripts
+      SCRIPTS_LOGS_DIR: /var/log/script-logs
+    volumes:
+        - logs:/var/log/script-logs/
+    networks:
+      - lz_network
+volumes:
+  logs:
+
+networks:
+  lz_network:
+    name: lz_main
+    external: true
+```
+
+
+#### Your work directory should contain:
+
+- Dockerfile
+- requirements.txt
+- compliance.py
+- compliance.yaml
+- compose.yaml
+
+
+#### Run custom script container using docker compose
+
+``` bash
+docker compose up --build -d
+```
+
+#### Check containers is running:
+
+``` bash
+# docker ps -a -f name=compliance-script-server
+CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                             COMMAND                  CREATED         STATUS         PORTS     NAMES
+e55547cfb505   custom-trigger-cisco-compliance   "fastapi run /usr/li…"   7 seconds ago   Up 7 seconds             compliance-script-server
+```
+
+#### Register custom script container
+
+Create or edit `/etc/logzilla/settings/script_server.yaml`:
+
+``` yaml
+---

+```
+
+Reload LogZilla settings:
+
+``` bash
+logzilla settings reload script_server
+```
+
+#### LogZilla UI
+
+Log into the LogZilla Web Interface and:
+
+- Create a new trigger from the trigger menu.
+- Select the `execute script` option.
+- From the dropdown menu, select `[custom] compliance.py`.
+
+Any patterns matching this trigger will now execute the script.

+
+At the heart of LogZilla's responsive capabilities lie the 'triggers'. These are predefined criteria that, when met, initiate a specific response. Think of a trigger as a watchful guardian, continuously monitoring event streams. Upon detecting a specified event, the trigger 'fires', setting in motion a defined reaction. This could range from recording the event's occurrence to initiating automated solutions.
+
+In this section, we'll guide you through the process of creating and fine-tuning triggers, ensuring that you can optimize LogZilla's capabilities to suit your unique needs. Starting from the dashboard, where all your monitoring begins, to the detailed steps of defining a trigger, every facet will be covered.

+# LogZilla Automation
+
+As a courtesy to our users, we've created [a Github repository](https://github.com/logzilla/extras) containing examples of user-contributed scripts which can be used for automated actions. Be sure to check there before writing your own. 
+> Note: Users are also encouraged to contribute to the Github repo!
+
+
+## Script Environment
+All triggers passed to a script contain all of the matched message information as environment variables.
+To manipulate any of the data, simply call that environment variable.
+
+The following list of variables is passed into each script automatically:
+>Note: Some of the variables below are only available after LogZilla `v5.70.3`
+
+
+    # EVENT_ID                      =   <integer>

+    # EVENT_STATUS                  =   <integer>
+    # EVENT_FIRST_OCCURRENCE        =   <float>
+    # EVENT_LAST_OCCURRENCE         =   <float>
+    # EVENT_COUNTER                 =   <integer>

+    # TRIGGER_HITS_COUNT            =   <integer>
+
+Calling a script in LogZilla
+---
+>Note: scripts to be used by LogZilla must be placed in the `/etc/logzilla/scripts` directory.
+
+From an SSH Console/Shell:
+
+1. Create a new file `/etc/logzilla/scripts/myscript`
+2. Add the script contents and save the file
+3. Run the following commands to change ownership and permissions on the script:
+
+```
+    chown logzilla:logzilla /etc/logzilla/scripts/myscript
+    chmod 755 /etc/logzilla/scripts/myscript
+```
+
+Next, log into the LogZilla Web Interface and:
+
+1. Create a new trigger from the trigger menu
+2. Select the `execute script` option.
+3. Select `myscript` from the dropdown menu
+
+Any patterns matching this trigger will now call `myscript`

+# Trigger Import and Export
+
+LogZilla Triggers are stored in standard JSON format and may be imported and exported from both the UI and the command line.
+
+
+## Import/Export From UI
+
+
+### Exporting Triggers
+Users may export all triggers or individual triggers by selecting either the **Tools** menu or an individual trigger's **edit** menu dropdown.
+
+In either case, selecting the **export** option will prompt for the filename and location to be saved to.
+
+
+###### Trigger Import/Export Menus
+![Trigger Import/Export](@@path/images/trigger-import-export.png)
+
+### Importing Triggers
+
+The **Tools** menu also includes an option to import triggers.
+
+During individual trigger import, a check is made to ensure that the trigger being imported is not a duplicate of an existing trigger. If the import is a duplicate, the option to click the checkbox for that trigger will not be available.
+
+###### Trigger Import/Export - Unable to select due to existing trigger

+###### Trigger Import/Export - Trigger import passes test, select to proceed
+![Trigger Import/Export - Non Duplicate](@@path/images/non-duplicate-trigger-import.png)
+
+
+
+## Command Line
+   
+### Import
+
+The output below shows the syntax for importing triggers from the command line. 
+
+Available options are:
+
+* `-I` or `--input-file` : the name of the file to import

+
+# Server License Information
+
+Your license key can be obtained via the UI or command line.
+
+## Viewing Your Host Key
+
+To locate your server license information in the LogZilla interface,
+navigate to the following path:
+
+    Settings -> System Settings -> License Information
+
+By accessing this section, you can view details about your current
+server license, such as the host key, expiration date, and allowed
+features.
+
+## Checking Host Key via Shell
+
+To view your LogZilla server’s host key, access the server’s shell using
+the console or SSH. Once logged in, execute the following command:
+
+    logzilla license key
+
+The command returns your unique server key, which you can provide to
+your LogZilla account manager. For example:
+
+    73cde9bfce9a15a0ae3a97f0c501231712813fc6
+
+## Updating License
+
+After your LogZilla account manager informs you that your license has
+been updated on the licensing server, you can update your server’s
+license by running the following command:
+
+    logzilla license download
+
+LogZilla does not need to be restarted for the key to take effect.
+
+# Manually Installing Your License
+
+If your server is offline, you can download the license from a different
+system and manually transfer it to your server. In the example below,
+we’ll use a host key of `73cde9bfce9a15a0ae3a97f0c501231712813fc6`, but
+be sure to replace it with your actual key obtained from one of the
+methods noted above.
+
+## Browser
+
+If using a browser, visit
+`https://license.logzilla.net/keys/73cde9bfce9a15a0ae3a97f0c501231712813fc6`
+
+## SSH/Terminal
+
+If using a terminal from another Linux system, use:
+
+    wget https://license.logzilla.net/keys/73cde9bfce9a15a0ae3a97f0c501231712813fc6 -O lic.json
+
+Remember to replace `73cde9bfce9a15a0ae3a97f0c501231712813fc6` with your
+actual host key.
+
+## Copy/Update your license
+
+After obtaining the `JSON` file from our license server:
+
+1.  Copy the contents of the JSON file and save it to a file with any
+    name, such as `lic.json`.
+2.  Load the license on the offline server using the following command:
+
+``` bash
+logzilla license load lic.json
+```
+
+This action will place the license file in the appropriate directory,
+allowing your LogZilla server to recognize and use the updated license
+information.

+
+# Process
+The process for migrating to a new server requires the following steps:
+
+> Step 1 *must* be done first. If not, you must restore to the exact same version of LogZilla on the new server.
+
+1. Updating to the latest release of LogZilla.
+2. Stopping LogZilla and all associated processes.
+3. Compressing relevant data.
+4. Restoring to the new server.
+5. Creating a license for the new server.
+
+
+## Old Server
+
+Upgrade LogZilla to the most recent version with `logzilla upgrade`.
+
+Once the old server is updated, run `logzilla stop` to stop it.
+
+> *WARNING*: Be sure there is enough disk space available for the backup files.
+
+
+Compress data of the old server and copy it to the new server:
+
+    for v in lz_archive lz_etcd lz_influxdb lz_postgres lz_redis; do
+        cd /var/lib/docker/volumes/$v/_data
+        tar -czf /tmp/$v.tgz *
+    done
+
+Copy resulting archives to the new server.
+
+## New Server
+
+Install or update LogZilla on the new server using `logzilla install`
+
+Once the new server is installed, run `logzilla stop` to stop it.
+
+Remove the contents of all the volumes mentioned above and unpack the migrated data:
+
+    for v in lz_archive lz_etcd lz_influxdb lz_postgres lz_redis; do
+        cd /var/lib/docker/volumes/$v/_data
+        rm -rf *
+        tar -xzf /tmp/$v.tgz
+    done
+
+You're almost done! All you need to refresh the license:
+
+    logzilla license download
+
+This will overwrite the now invalid license you copied from the old server,
+and replace it with a demo license. Remember to contact support later and ask
+them to extend it.
+
+This concludes the migration process. You can now start LogZilla:
+
+    logzilla start
+
+Depending on the amount of data you have, it will take some time for LogZilla to fully start and begin showing data in the user interface. You can check the status of the initialization by browsing to your server's `/api/monitor`. For example: `http://logzilla.mycompany.com/api/monitor`
+
+You can also check LogZilla logs for any errors:
+
+    tail -f /var/log/logzilla/logzilla.log -n 40

+# LogZilla Network Communications
+
+LogZilla is able to receive communications via both TCP and UDP, over
+multiple ports, and with different information formats.
+
+The first type of communication LogZilla receives is *syslog*.  LogZilla
+can receive syslog packets in both
+[RFC 3164 (BSD)](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3164) and
+[RFC 5424](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5424) formats.  By
+default, LogZilla is configured to receive `RFC 3164` on port 514, via both
+protocols `TCP` and `UDP`.  By default LogZilla is configured to receive
+`RFC 5424` on port 601 via `TCP`.
+
+In addition to *syslog*, LogZilla is able to receive raw data, not
+formatted in syslog (either RFC) format.  This communication by default
+is via both `TCP` and `UDP`, to port `516` (any text data), and `TCP` only, 
+to port `515` (JSON data). The "raw" port is useful for devices that
+send non-syslog or malformed syslog data, though in order for LogZilla
+to make use of these log events, an app or rule must be used to interpret
+the data.
+
+The *raw* port can be configured using the `logzilla config` command, for 
+either `SYSLOG_RAW_PORT` or `SYSLOG_RAW_UDP_PORT`, or `SYSLOG_JSON_PORT`
+for the *JSON* port.  
+
+```bash
+root@demo [~]:# logzilla config SYSLOG_RAW_PORT 516
+SYSLOG_RAW_PORT=516
+```
+
+
+The LogZilla user interface is available via HTTP(s) on ports 80 and 443 by
+default. Additionally, those same ports can be used for event reception via
+HTTP/HTTPS as noted in [Section
+7.15](/help/receiving_data/receiving_events_using_http)
+
+Some of the default ports can be re-configured via the following configuration 
+settings:
+
+|Configuration Option | Default | Description |
+|--------------------- | ----- | ------------------------------------------------ | 
+|`SYSLOG_BSD_TCP_PORT` | `514` | TCP port for incoming RFC3164/BSD syslog messages|
+|`SYSLOG_BSD_UDP_PORT` | `514` | UDP port for incoming RFC3164/BSD syslog messages|
+|`SYSLOG_RFC5424_PORT` | `601` | TCP port for incoming RFC5424 syslog messages    |
+|`SYSLOG_JSON_PORT` | `515` | TCP port for incoming raw (non-syslog) JSON messages|
+|`SYSLOG_RAW_PORT` | `516` | TCP port for incoming raw (non-syslog) messages|
+|`SYSLOG_RAW_UDP_PORT` | `516` | UDP port for incoming raw (non-syslog) messages|

+
+# Syslog
+
+Syslog is a client/server protocol originally developed in the 1980s by Eric Allman as part of the Sendmail project.
+
+Syslog is defined within the syslog working group of the [IETF RFC 3164](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3164.txt) and is supported by a wide variety of devices and receivers across multiple platforms. 
+
+## Senders
+A syslog sender can be any type of device or software such as a Cisco, Juniper, HP, etc. networking device, Operating Systems, and/or individual applications such as Antivirus Software, Web Servers, etc.
+
+If the sender is using an [RFC 3164](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3164.txt) compliant format (the most common), it sends a small (less than 1KB) text message to the syslog receiver. 
+
+### UDP Senders
+Since UDP is, by design, "connection-less", it does not provide acknowledgments to the sender or receiver. Consequently, the sending device generates syslog messages without knowing whether the syslog receiver has actually received the messages. In fact, UDP-based senders will send events out even if the syslog server does not exist at the configured destination. Using UDP provides no "guarantee" of reception. For this reason, many (if not all) syslog senders will repeatedly send the same events over and over.
+
+### TCP Senders
+Many of today's devices, software, etc. can be configured to send using TCP instead of UDP in order to help ensure a more "guaranteed" delivery to the receiver. This is due to the TCP protocol's design in that it will establish a connection on both ends and allow for "handshakes" where both sender and receiver are aware that a message was both sent and acknowledged. When given the option, all systems capable of sending via TCP instead of UDP should be configured to do so.
+
+> Note: TCP as the transport protocol does not lower the amount of duplicate events sent by the sender. It only guarantees (more than UDP) that the receiver is actually getting the events.
+
+
+## Receiver
+
+A syslog receiver, typically referred to as a "syslog daemon" listens on incoming network ports using UDP (typically on port 514/udp) or TCP (typically, port 514/tcp). While there are some exceptions such as [TLS encryption](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security), syslog data is sent in clear text over the network.
+
+LogZilla utilizes Balabit's industry-standard [syslog-ng](https://syslog-ng.org) daemon to receive messages and forward them to LogZilla's architecture.
+
+
+## Relays
+Relays are used to forward logs from local networks to remote networks. This is the most reliable and common way to ensure message reception on your primary server when utilizing a wide-area network. For help configuring a relay, refer to the [Relays](/help/receiving_data/relays) section.
+
+
+
+# Syslog Message Format and Contents
+
+![Syslog Format](@@path/images/syslog-packet.jpg)
+
+The full format of a syslog message seen on the wire has three distinct parts:
+
+• PRI (priority)
+• HEADER
+• MSG (message text)
+
+For RFC 3164 compliant events, the total length of the packet cannot exceed 1024 bytes. There is no minimum length.
+
+## Syslog PRI Code
+The Priority field is an 8-bit number that represents both the `Facility` and `Severity` of the message. The three least significant bits represent the Severity of the message (with three bits you can represent eight different Severities), and the other five bits represent the Facility of the message.
+
+> Note: Syslog Daemons (running on the syslog receiver) do not generate these Priority and Facility values. The values are created by the syslog sender (applications or hardware) from which the event is generated.
+
+### Syslog Facilities
+
+Syslog messages are broadly categorized on the basis of the sources that generate them. These categories, referred to as `Facilities`, are represented by integers in the syslog packet. The `local` facilities are not reserved; the processes and applications that do not have pre-assigned Facility values may choose any of the eight local use facilities. 
+
+| Integer | Facility                                 |
+|---------|------------------------------------------|
+| 0       | Kernel messages                          |
+| 1       | User-level messages                      |
+| 2       | Mail system                              |

+| 23      | Local use 7 (local7)                     |
+
+
+### Syslog Severities
+
+The log sender (device or software generating the message) specifies the severity of that message using single-digit integers 0-7 
+
+> Note: When configuring your sending device or application, the recommended logging levels are 0-6 under normal operation, level 7 (debug) should only be used for local troubleshooting on that system.
+
+| Integer | Facility                                 |
+|---------|------------------------------------------|
+| 0       | Emergency: System is unusable            |
+| 1       | Alert: Action must be taken immediately  |
+| 2       | Critical: Critical conditions            |
+| 3       | Error: Error conditions                  |
+| 4       | Warning: Warning conditions              |

+### LogZilla Server Configuration
+
+#### Creating LogZilla Server SSL Keys
+
+During this process, you’ll be prompted for a passphrase to create the
+keys. Once created, the passphrase will be removed. You’ll also be asked
+for the server’s name, location, and contact information. Make sure the
+server name matches the entry in your `/etc/hostname` file.
+
+To generate a new key, run the following command:
+
+    openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout tls.key -out tls.crt
+
+Provide the requested identification information:
+
+    Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:US
+    State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:New York
+    Locality Name (eg, city) []:New York City
+    Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:Bouncy Castles, Inc.
+    Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:Ministry of Water Slides
+    Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name) []:server_IP_address
+    Email Address []:admin@your_domain.com
+
+After creating the keys, copy them to the `syslog-ng` directory:
+
+    cp tls.key tls.crt /etc/logzilla/syslog-ng
+
+The correct paths for the key and certificate files are:
+
+| Purpose     | Path                              |
+|-------------|-----------------------------------|
+| Key         | `/etc/logzilla/syslog-ng/tls.key` |
+| Certificate | `/etc/logzilla/syslog-ng/tls.crt` |
+
+#### Configuring *syslog-ng*
+
+By default, LogZilla uses port `6514` for incoming TLS connections. You
+can change this (for example, to `12345`) with the following command:
+
+    logzilla config SYSLOG_TLS_PORT 12345
+
+Enable TLS support:
+
+    logzilla config SYSLOG_TLS_ENABLED 1
+
+LogZilla’s *syslog* server will restart automatically. To check if TLS
+support is working, use the `openssl` command as shown below. Replace
+`11.22.33.44:12345` with your LogZilla server address and TLS port.
+
+    $ openssl s_client -connect 11.22.33.44:12345 < /dev/null
+
+If the output shows your identification information (`C`, `ST`, `L`,
+`O`, etc.), certificate details from your `tls.crt` file, and TLS cipher
+and key specifications in use, then TLS support is operational.
+
+If you see an error like the following, verify your steps from the start
+of this document and restart if necessary:
+
+    $ openssl s_client -connect 192.168.10.12:1234 < /dev/null
+
+### Adding Key Files to Client Systems
+
+On the syslog-sending system, create a new directory:
+
+    mkdir -p /etc/syslog-ng/ssl
+
+Transfer the key and certificate files created earlier on the **LogZilla
+Server** to the **Client** system, placing them in the
+`/etc/syslog-ng/ssl` directory. You can use `scp` or a similar method.
+
+### Configuring *syslog-ng* on the Client
+
+There are two scenarios:
+
+1.  You have a local LogZilla instance and want to forward events to
+    another LogZilla instance.
+2.  You have a standalone syslog-ng on your client server and want to
+    forward events to a LogZilla instance.
+
+#### Forwarding Events from One LogZilla Instance to Another
+
+Replace `LZ_SERVER` below with the DNS Name or IP Address of your
+LogZilla Server. Change port number accordingly if you configured a
+different port number at the receiving site. Also, in the `log{}`
+section, you may need to update the `source` according to the sources
+configured in your `/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf` file.
+
+Create a new file named `/etc/syslog-ng/conf.d/tls_to_LogZilla.conf` and
+put the following content into it:
+
+``` yaml
+destination d_tls {
+    syslog-ng(
+        server("LZ_SERVER")
+        port(6514)
+        transport(tls)
+        tls(ca-file("/etc/syslog-ng/ssl/tls.crt"))
+    );
+};
+
+log {
+  source(s_src);
+  destination(d_tls);
+};
+```
+
+Restart syslog-ng on the Client system by typing:
+
+    service syslog-ng restart
+
+#### Checking configuration
+
+Check your LogZilla server to verify that events are now being received
+from this Client.
+
+If you encounter any issues, refer to the [Debugging Event
+Reception](/help/receiving_data/debugging_event_reception) section of
+this guide.
+
+### Advanced server configuration
+
+If you need more than just a single source port with TLS transport, TLS
+can be added to any syslog source by directly editing the
+`/etc/logzilla/syslog-ng/config.yaml` file. Find the `sources` array
+element and for any source, you can add `transport: tls` and then
+`tls_key_file` and `tls_cert_file` options. For example, to enable TLS
+transport for JSON input, add this:
+
+``` yaml
+  - name: json-tls
+    enabled: True
+    type: network
+    transport: tls
+    port: 6515
+    tls_cert_file: "/etc/logzilla/syslog-ng/tls.crt"
+    tls_key_file: "/etc/logzilla/syslog-ng/key.crt"
+    flags:
+      - no-parse
+    program_override: _JSON
+```
+
+After any change to this configuration file, the LogZilla *syslog*
+module must be restarted by:
+
+    logzilla restart -c syslog

+<!-- @@@title:Backend Indexer Settings@@@ -->
+
+As noted in <a href="/help/administration/backend_configuration_options">Backend Configuration Options</a> section, the default settings for the full text indexer are set to:
+
+| Setting                         | Default Value                     
+|---------------------------------|---------------
+| SPHINX_MIN_WORD_LENGTH          | 4

+| SPHINX_MIN_INFIX_LENGTH         | 4 *(0 for versions earlier than v6.15.0)*
+
+In order to use prefix wildcard searching, you must enable `SPHINX_MIN_INFIX_LENGTH` by setting it to match the values used for `SPHINX_MIN_WORD_LENGTH` and `SPHINX_MIN_PREFIX_LENGTH`. For example:
+
+    logzilla config SPHINX_MIN_INFIX_LENGTH 4
+  
+>Note: After changing these values, the settings are only applied on incoming events, not on events already stored in the system.
+
+Infix indexing allows prefix wildcard searching, for example: `*end`, and `*middle*` wildcards (LogZilla already allows suffix wildcards by default, e.g.: `start*`). When the minimum infix length is set to a positive number, the indexer will index all possible keyword infixes (ie. substrings) in addition to the keywords themselves. Too short infixes (below the minimum allowed length) will not be indexed. For example, indexing a keyword `test` with `SPHINX_MIN_INFIX_LENGTH=2` would result in indexing `te`, `es`, `st`, `tes`, `est` along with the word itself. Searches against such an index for `es` would match events that contain the word `test` even if it does not contain `es` itself.
+> Caution! Indexing infixes will make the index grow significantly (because of many more indexed keywords) and can degrade both indexing and searching times dramatically.  This will (possibly greatly) increase memory usage, which will contribute to performance degradation.
+> Setting a value < 4 is **highly discouraged**

+<!-- @@@title:Archive and Restore@@@ -->
+
+
+LogZilla provides the ability to archive old data and later re-import that data should users need to access and search it later on. This helps users with smaller systems or low disk space to keep historical logs without the need to index all of them at all times.
+
+Archival is particularly useful in environments where users need to be able to search and run reports on events within the last week or month, but may only periodically need to access events from a year ago.
+
+## Live Data Retention
+By default, LogZilla will keep 1 week of data "online" and up to 1 year of historical data. To make changes to your desired archive preferences, browse to your server's settings page at `/settings/system/generic`
+
+## Archive Logs
+A full list of all archives activity is available via the web API web interface located on your server at `/api/archive-restore-logs`
+
+## Archive Management
+Logzilla archives are where "warm" event data is stored.  This data is still searchable, albeit much more slowly than the "hot" event data.  The `logzilla` command line utility is used for management of archive data.
+
+### Archiving Event Data
+`logzilla archives archive --ts-from 2020-05-01 --ts-to 2020-06-01` would move events from "hot" storage to "warm" archival storage for the period 2020-05-01 up to 2020-06-01.  Alternatively `logzilla archives archives --expire-days 30` would archive events older than 30 days.
+
+### Removing Archived Event Data
+`logzilla archives remove --ts-from 2020-03-01 --ts-to 2020-04-01` would eliminate from the archives event data between 2020-03-01 and 2020-04-01.  Warning:  this data is then gone and unavailable for searching or querying!
+
+### Migrating Previous-Version Archive Data
+In order for archived data to be accessible and used as "warm" data for searches and queries, the archived data must be formatted for LogZilla version 6.10 or later.  If your archived data is a prior version it must be migrated.  Migration is done through `logzilla archives migrate --ts-from 2020-04-01 --ts-to 2020-05-01` (to migrate data between 2020-04-01 and 2020-05-01).  This process is a one-time action to be performed on the older version archived data, after which that data is always available to searches and queries.
+
+### Using Archived Data for Searches and Queries
+Archived data is usable for searches and queries by selecting the "WithArchive" check box for queries and searches.  This option causes searches and queries to search not only the "hot" event data but also go back into the "warm" archived data.  Be aware that choosing this option will slow down the search or query, possibly greatly.
+
+(Note that in previous LogZilla versions, archived data needed to be "restored" to be available for searches and queries.  This is no longer the case, and archived data is available to searches and queries as "warm" data, until that event data is removed from the archives.)

+# Before You Begin
+
+<font color=red>WARNING</font>: In order to avoid conflicts from adding LDAP
+authentication, you must change any pre-existing local accounts that will
+have the same login name or email addresses of any LDAP accounts.
+
+# Configuration Steps
+
+Use the options detailed below to configure LogZilla's LDAP integration.
+The LDAP configuration is stored in the file `/etc/logzilla/ldap/config.yaml`.
+This file will be created for you automatically as you do the
+*LogZilla LDAP Initialization* described below.
+
+If you are using certificates, LDAP certs should be placed in `/etc/logzilla/ldap`.
+
+# LogZilla LDAP Initialization
+
+To configure LogZilla's LDAP support, from a command line (as `root` user)
+issue the `logzilla ldap init` command.
+
+```
+root@localhost:# logzilla ldap init
+LDAP configuration init ...
+```
+
+Then there will be multiple configuration parameters requested.  In order,
+those are:
+```
+* LDAP server url [ldap://localhost]: 
+```
+
+This is the host name or ip of your LDAP server, preceded by `ldap://`.
+Example: `ldap://192.168.1.2`.
+
+```
+* Domain for user search [ou=users,dc=example,dc=com]: 
+```
+
+This is the LDAP object from which to start searches for users.  For example,
+there may be an organizational unit named `users`, for which the response
+then could be `ou=users,dc=example,dc=com`.
+
+```
+* Domain for groups search [ou=logzilla,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com]:
+```
+Similar to the previous, this parameters is the LDAP object from which to
+start searches for groups.  For example, there may be an organizational 
+unit named `groups`, for which the response then could be
+`ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com`.
+
+```
+* Class for group [posix-group]: 
+```
+This is the *LDAP ObjectClass Type* for groups. Unless you know that this
+value should be different, accept the default value (`posix-group`).
+
+```
+* User bind dn for search []: 
+```
+In order to perform LDAP searches, a user account with appropriate permissions
+needs to be used.  This parameters is the LDAP dn for the user account that
+will be used to perform LDAP searches.  For example,
+`uid=root,cn=users,dc=example,dc=com`.
+
+```
+* User bind password for search []: 
+```
+
+This is the password corresponding to the user account just entered.
+
+```
+* LDAP field used as LZ username [uid]: 
+* LDAP field used as LZ first-name [givenName]: title
+* LDAP field used as LZ last-name [sn]: 
+* LDAP field used as LZ email [mail]: 
+```
+These fields are requesting the names of the LDAP attributes on the LDAP
+*user* object, which will be used to correspond to the LogZilla fields
+shown.  The particular values are specific to your LDAP installation.
+
+```
+Saving LDAP configuration ...
+LDAP configuration initialized, run 'ldap test' or 'ldap enable'
+```
+This is what will be displayed once the initial configuration is
+complete.
+
+# LogZilla LDAP Configuration Options
+
+In addition to the parameters set during the initialization process
+described above, there are multiple LDAP interface properties that
+can be set in the LogZilla LDAP configuration file
+(`/etc/logzilla/ldap/config.yaml`).  This file is in [YAML](https://yaml.org/)
+format.
+
+## Properties
+
+- **`ldap`** This is the section indicator for LDAP basic settings.
+  - **`server_url`** : LDAP server url
+  - **`user_search_dn`** : Domain for user search (as described in *Initialization*)
+  - **`require_group_dn`** : The distinguished name of a group; authentication will fail for any user that does not belong to this group.
+  - **`group_search_dn`** : Domain for groups search (as described in *Initialization*)
+  - **`group_search_dn_filter`** : An LDAP expression providing a filter for groups search. Example: `(objectClass=posixGroup)`.  More information can be found [here](https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/816-4556/schemas-122/index.html).
+  - **`group_object_class`** : LDAP ObjectClass for group. Will usually be `posix-group`, though in special circumstances it may be `group-of-names` or `group-of-unique-names`.
+  - **`group_names`** : the group LDAP dn(s) which will be imported (comma separated, ignored if group_names_exclude is set).
+  - **`group_names_exclude`** : The group LDAP dn(s) which will be ignored during group search (comma separated, if set then group_names filter is ignored).
+  - **`bind_dn`** : User bind dn that will be used to authenticate for permission for search.
+  - **`bind_password`** : User bind password for the user account used for authentication for search.
+  - **`disable_referrals`** : (`True` or `False`) Disable referrals. Setting it to `True` should help in case of problems with Active Directory.
+- **`ldap_fields`** : This is the section indicator for LDAP attribute mapping.
+  - **`username`** : LDAP field used as LogZilla username.
+  - **`first_name`** : LDAP field used as LogZilla first-name.
+  - **`last_name`** : LDAP field used as LogZilla last-name.
+  - **`email`** : LDAP field used as LogZilla email.
+- **`ldap_tls_options`** : The section indicator for TLS options.
+  - **`start_tls`** : (`True` or `False`) Enable TLS encryption over the standard LDAP port.
+  - **`tls_require_cert`** : Validation strategy for server cert. Must be one of: `NEVER`, `ALLOW`, or `DEMAND`.
+  - **`tls_ca_certfile`** : Name of PEM file with CA certs.
+  - **`tls_keyfile`** : Name of PEM encoded cert file for client cert authentication.
+  - **`tls_certfile`** : Name of PEM encoded key file for client cert authentication.
+
+
+# Testing
+To test whether or not LDAP is working, do:
+
+```
+logzilla ldap test
+```
+
+When the test runs successfully, you must load and enable new settings:
+
+```
+logzilla ldap enable
+```
+
+After ensuring connectivity, log in to the UI using your LDAP credentials. 
+
+# User Login
+Users should be instructed to use only their LDAP username and not the full domain username. 
+
+**Correct Login Name:**
+`someuser`
+
+**Incorrect:**

+# PCI Logs
+NEO stores its data in a binary format, making it very difficult for
+logs to be altered. However, a secondary store using MD5 hashes can be
+created to ensure that logs have not been tampered with. 
+
+First, logging should be enabled in the LogZilla *Settings* page, then
+*System Settings*, then *Services*.
+
+![LogZilla PCI Compliance Settings](@@path/images/settings-pcicompliance.jpg)
+
+ Then all data coming into LogZilla via syslog will be logged in
+`/var/log/logzilla/pci-compliant/yyyy-mm/yyyy-mm-dd.log`, according to the
+current date. 
+
+Next, it is necessary to have a cron entry that will compress the logs at the end of each day
+and create an MD5 Checksum file. This can be accomplished by issuing the following command (with
+root privileges):
+
+
+```
+cat << EOF > /etc/cron.d/logzilla-pci
+# Cron entry to forward syslog-ng to text logs and compress with a checksum
+1 0 * * * root (find /var/log/logzilla/pci-compliant/*/*.log -daystart -mtime +0 -type f -exec echo "compressing '{}'" ';' -exec gzip '{}' ';' -exec md5sum '{}'.gz ';' >> /var/log/logzilla/pci-compliant/checksums) 2>&1
+EOF
+
+```
+
+The compliance logs, along with their checksums will be located at
+`/var/log/logzilla/pci-compliant`
+
+It is recommended that these files be backed up to a secure location every day.

+
+# RBAC
+
+Role-based access control (RBAC) is a method of regulating access resources based on the roles of individual users and groups defined in LogZilla providing control over the ability of an individual user to perform a specific task, such as view, create, or modify a desktop, search for specific hosts, or access various menus and components of the LogZilla interface.
+
+System Administrators may configure Role Based Access Controls in the Group Configuration section under the Settings menu.
+
+###### **Group Configuration**
+![Groups](@@path/images/rbac-groups.png)
+
+
+## Example
+
+The example below outlines the process for creating access groups.
+
+Begin by selecting `Add Group` from the "Users and Groups" menu in your admin settings.
+
+Next, provide a **Name** and **Description** for the group, for example: **Security Team**
+
+###### **Adding New Groups**
+![New Group](@@path/images/rbac-new-group.png)
+
+Select any of the UI permissions for this group, or click `Select All` to enable access to all UI resources.
+
+Next, select `Host Permissions` by clicking in the input box. Users may either select existing hostnames/IP addresses or use wildcards as seen below:
+
+###### **Wildcard IP**
+![Host Permissions](@@path/images/rbac-host-perms.png)
+
+Next, add users to the group by selecting the "Group Members" dropdown.
+
+###### **Group Member Selection**
+![Members](@@path/images/rbac-group-members.png)
+
+
+In our example, the user "Sheldon" will only be allowed to see events from devices matching the `192.168.28` subnet.

+
+# Offline Installs and Upgrades
+
+## Overview
+
+This documentation provides instructions for installing or upgrading
+LogZilla in an offline environment. You can perform these actions by
+downloading a pre-built package from any system with internet access,
+such as a local laptop, and then manually transferring it to the offline
+LogZilla server.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- A system with internet access to download the LogZilla offline
+  package.
+- The offline LogZilla server where the installation or upgrade will
+  occur.
+- Root access on the logzilla server
+
+## Downloading the LogZilla Offline Package
+
+On any system with internet access:
+
+1.  **Download the Offline Package**:
+
+    Download the pre-built LogZilla package from:
+
+        https://license.logzilla.net/download/
+    
+    You will be automatically redirected to the current newest version of the
+    logzilla package.
+
+2.  **Transfer the Package**:
+
+    From the download above you'll get the newest LogZilla version package
+    in the form of `logzilla-v6.x.y.tar.gz`. For all commands below please
+    replace logzilla-v6.x.y.tar.gz with the actual name of the file
+    you downloaded.
+
+    Manually transfer the downladed file `logzilla-v6.x.y.tar.gz` to your
+    offline LogZilla server using a USB drive, SCP, RSYNC, or any other file
+    transfer method.
+
+## Installation on the Offline LogZilla Server
+
+All commands in the sections below must be run as the root user.
+
+### New Installation
+
+<font color="red">IMPORTANT</font>: This method is ONLY for new
+installs, for upgrades, refer to the *Upgrade Procedure* section below.
+
+For new installations on the offline server:
+
+1.  **Extract the LogZilla Package**:
+
+    ``` bash
+    tar xzvf /path/to/logzilla-v6.x.y.tar.gz
+    ```
+
+    This will create a directory named `logzilla-v6.x.y` in the current
+    directory.
+
+2.  **Run the Installation Script**:
+
+    Navigate to the directory where you extracted the files and run:
+
+    ``` bash
+    cd logzilla-v6.x.y
+    bash kickstart.sh
+    ```
+
+3.  **License Retrieval and Startup**:
+
+    After installation, follow the on-screen instructions to retrieve
+    the license and start LogZilla.
+
+### Upgrade Procedure
+
+For upgrading an existing installation:
+
+1.  **Extract the LogZilla Package**:
+
+    ``` bash
+    tar xzvf /path/to/logzilla-v6.x.y.tar.gz
+    ```
+
+2.  **Run the Upgrade Command**:
+
+    From the directory where you extracted the files, execute:
+
+    ``` bash
+    cd logzilla-v6.x.y
+    logzilla upgrade --offline-dir .
+    ```
+
+3.  **Verify the Upgrade**:
+
+    After the upgrade, check the new version:
+
+    ``` bash
+    logzilla version
+    ```
+
+    This should display the upgraded version number.
+
+## Example Walkthrough
+
+### Performing an Offline Upgrade
+
+1.  **Download and Transfer the Package**:
+
+    - Go to `https://license.logzilla.net/download/` and it
+      will immediately start downloading the latest version of LogZilla
+    - Transfer the file to the offline LogZilla server.
+
+2.  **Check currently installed version**:
+
+        root@logzilla-server:/tmp$ logzilla version
+        v6.28.0
+
+3.  **Verify Internet Access Unreachable**:
+
+    This step is not necessary, it is here to show that the system we
+    ran the upgrade on does not have internet access.
+
+        root@logzilla-server:~$ ping 8.8.8.8
+        ping: connect: Network is unreachable
+
+4.  **Extract the offline package**:
+
+        root@logzilla-server:~$ cd /tmp
+        root@logzilla-server:/tmp$ tar xzvf logzilla-v6.31.8.tar.gz
+        logzilla-v6.31.8/
+        logzilla-v6.31.8/kickstart.sh
+        logzilla-v6.31.8/library-influxdb:1.8.10-alpine.tar.gz
+        logzilla-v6.31.8/library-postgres:15.2-alpine.tar.gz
+        logzilla-v6.31.8/library-redis:6.2.6-alpine.tar.gz
+        logzilla-v6.31.8/library-telegraf:1.20.4-alpine.tar.gz
+        logzilla-v6.31.8/logzilla-etcd:v3.5.7.tar.gz
+        logzilla-v6.31.8/logzilla-front:v6.31.8.tar.gz
+        logzilla-v6.31.8/logzilla-mailer:v6.31.8.tar.gz
+        logzilla-v6.31.8/logzilla-runtime:v6.31.8.tar.gz
+        logzilla-v6.31.8/logzilla-sec:v6.31.8.tar.gz
+        logzilla-v6.31.8/logzilla-syslogng:v6.31.8.tar.gz
+
+
+5.  **Begin the upgrade procedure**:

+# Command Line Query Tool
+
+The `logzilla query` command is an "unofficial" command provided to allow direct
+queries to LogZilla using the command line. This tool may be useful for
+generating reports such as TopN hosts, etc., along with the ability to export to
+Excel.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- When running `logzilla query`, you will need to be the `root` user (or a user
+  who has access to the `logzilla` command).
+- The `logzilla query` command requires either `-u USER -p PASSWORD` OR an API
+  key using the `-a` command.
+

+
+The general way this command is used is to specify primarily the query type and
+any of the parameters for the query itself, some of which, depending on the query
+type, are necessary, and some optional. Use the remaining options as
+appropriate. The query type is specified using the `-t` or `--type` options.
+After specifying that option flag, put the query type name as listed in the query
+type column above. Then query parameters must be specified in a JSON file. The
+specific query types and their parameters are listed below.
+
+## Specifying Query Parameters
+
+Query parameters must be specified as a JSON file, which must be indicated on
+the `logzilla query` command line. The query parameters are specified as a simple
+JSON object in the file. Examples:
+
+Return only events with a counter greater than 5:
+
+```json
+[ { "field": "counter", "op": "gt", "value": 5 } ]
+```
+
+Return events from host 'fileserver23' with severity 'ERROR' or higher:
+
+```json
+[ { "field": "severity", "value": [0, 1, 2, 3] },
+  { "field": "host", "value": "fileserver23" } ]
+```
+
+Return events from hosts "alpha" and "beta" matching "power failure" in event
+message text:
+
+```json
+[ { "field": "message", "value": "power failure" },
+  { "field": "host", "value": ["alpha", "beta"] } ]
+```
+
+## Common Query Parameters
+
+Although every query type has a particular list of parameters, there are some
+parameters used by most or all queries:
+
+### Time Range
+
+Every query needs to have specified the start and end time of the period for
+which to retrieve data. For some queries, the list of sub-periods in a given
+period must also be specified - i.e., when getting events, some options would
+be all minutes in the last hour, or last 30 days, etc.
+
+The `time_range` parameter is an object with the following fields:
+
+- `ts_from`: Timestamp (number of seconds from epoch) defining the beginning
+  of the period. Use 0 (zero) to use the current time, or a negative number to
+  specify time relative to the current time.
+
+- `ts_to`: Timestamp defining the end of the period. 0 or negative numbers can
+  be used to get time relative to the current time.
+
+- `step`: If the query needs sub-periods, a step can be specified - such as 60
+  will create 1-minute periods, 900 will give you 15-minute periods, etc.; the
+  default is set heuristically according to `ts_from` and `ts_to` - i.e., when
+  you specify a 1-hour time range, the step will be set to 1 minute, for the
+  range of 1 minute or less, the step will be one second, etc.
+
+- `preset`: Alternative to `ts_from` and `ts_to`; based on the timezone,
+  determines the start of the day and uses corresponding `ts_from`, `ts_to`;
+  available presets: 'today', 'yesterday'.
+
+- `timezone`: Determines the beginning of the day for the `preset` parameter; by
+  default, the `GLOBAL_TZ` config value is used.
+
+For query types which do not use sub-periods (such as "LastN"), only `ts_from`
+and `ts_to` are important (but still `step` and `round_to_step` can be used to
+round those values).
+
+### Filter
+
+By default, every query operates on all data (according to the given time
+range), but for each, a compound parameter "filter" can be specified, which
+filters the returned results by selected fields (including optionally message
+text). This parameter is an array of filter conditions which are always ANDed,
+meaning each record must match all of them to be included in the final results.
+Filtering is always done before aggregating, so for example, in a query for
+event rate and with specified filtering by hostname, then only the events with
+this hostname will be reported in query results.
+
+Every filter condition is an object with the following fields:
+
+- `field`: Name of the field to filter by, as it appears in the results.
+
+- `value`: Actual value to filter by. For fields other than timestamp, this can
+  also be a list of possible values (only for "eq" comparison).
+
+- `op`: If the type is numeric (this includes timestamps), this can be used to
+  define the type of comparison. It can be one of:
+
+  | Operation | Meaning                                      |
+  |-----------|----------------------------------------------|
+  | eq        | Value is an exact value to be found, this is the default when no op is specified. Also accepts a list of possible values |
+  | lt        | Match only records with field less than the given value |
+  | le        | Match only records with field less than or equal to the given value |
+  | gt        | Match only records with field greater than the given value |
+  | ge        | Match only records with field greater than or equal to the given value |
+  | qp        | Special operator for "message boolean syntax" |
+
+- `ignore_case`: Determines whether text comparisons are case-sensitive or not.
+  Default is `True`, so all text comparisons are case-insensitive. To force
+  case-sensitive mode, set `ignore_case` to `False`.
+
+## Query Results
+
+"Results" is always an object with one or a few fields. Usually, this is
+"totals" and/or "details", the first containing results for the whole period,
+the second an array of values for sub-periods. Both total and sub-period usually
+contain "ts_from" and "ts_to" timestamps, to show the exact time range that data
+were retrieved for, and then some "values
+
+" or just "count".
+
+See the description of the particular query type for details on what results
+contain and the results format, with some examples.
+
+### Generic Results Format for System Queries
+
+System queries return data collected by the system regarding different system
+parameters and are used for displaying system widgets (that can be used later
+on for diagnosing system performance).
+
+All these queries return "totals" and "details". For details, the result objects
+are similar to data for `EventRateQuery`, only there are more keys with different
+values (this one is from `System_CPUQuery`):
+
+```json
+{
+  "details": [
+    {
+      "ts_from": 1416231300,
+      "ts_to": 1416231315,
+      "softirq": 0,
+      "system": 8.400342,
+      "idle": 374.946619,
+      "user": 16.067144,
+      "interrupt": 0.20001199999999997,
+      "nice": 0,
+      "steal": 0,
+      "wait": 0.20001199999999997
+    },
+    "..."
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+For totals, instead of an array, there is a single object with keys like above,
+but rather than a single result value, it is a set of values:
+
+```json
+{
+  "system": {
+    "count": 236,
+    "sum": 1681.6008720000007,
+    "min": 5.2671220000000005,
+    "max": 9.599976,
+    "avg": 7.125427423728817,
+    "last": 6.400112999999999,
+    "last_ts": 1416234840
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Here are different kinds of aggregates for a selected time period:
+
+| Aggregate Name | Meaning                                           |
+|----------------|---------------------------------------------------|
+| count          | Number of known values for the given time period  |
+| sum            | Total of those values (used for calculating avg)  |
+| min            | Minimum value                                     |
+| max            | Maximum value                                     |
+| avg            | Average value (sum / count)                       |
+| last           | Last known value from the given period            |
+| last_ts        | Timestamp when last known value occurred          |
+
+## Query Details
+
+### Search
+
+Show a list of event detail matching the specified search filter parameters.
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `time_range`: Data are taken for this time range (periods are ignored).
+
+- `filter`: Desired filters for the search to limit the results returned.
+
+- `sort`: List of fields to sort results by; only `first_occurrence`,
+  `last_occurrence`, and `count` are available. Descending sort order is
+  indicated by prefixing the field name with a "-" (minus) sign.
+
+- `page_size`: Number of events to retrieve.
+
+- `page`: Number of pages to retrieve, used with `page_size`. The bigger the
+  page number, the longer it will take to retrieve results, especially in
+  multi-host configurations.
+
+In the results, there are two values: `totals` contains the count of all items
+found, including sometimes "total_count" if there were more than could be
+retrieved; "events" contains the actual list of events in the form identical to
+all lists with paging - so information is provided about the number of items,
+number of pages, current page number, and then actual objects (current page only)
+under the "objects" key:

+```
+
+### EventRate
+
+Get the number of events per given time period - i.e., per second for the last
+minute, or events per day for the last month, etc. Filters can be used to get
+rates for a particular host, program, severity, or any combination of them. It
+is also used on the search results page to show a histogram for the search
+results.
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `time_range`: Data are taken for this time range, periods are generated
+  according to the description of this parameter. See section "Common Query
+  Parameters".
+
+- `filter`: Extra filtering.
+
+**Results Format:**
+
+Similar to other types, there are "totals" and "details". For details, there is
+only "count", for "totals" there are self-explanatory aggregates (the one called
+"last" is just the last value from "details").
+
+`drill_up_time_range` is the time range that should be used for showing a wider
+time period (such as if *minute* is selected, the whole hour will be shown, when
+*hour* is selected, it will show the whole day, etc.). It can be `null` as it is
+always limited to one day at most - so if a whole day or wider time range is
+chosen, the `null` value will be used to indicate there is no option to drill up.
+
+```json
+{
+  "totals": {
+    "ts_from": 123450000,
+    "ts_to": 123453600,
+    "drill_up_time_range": {
+      "ts_from": 123379200,
+      "ts_to": 123465600
+    },
+    "sum": 5511,
+    "count": 120,
+    "min": 5,
+    "max": 92,
+    "avg": 45.925,
+    "last": 51
+  },
+  "details": [
+    {
+      "ts_from": 123450000,
+      "ts_to": 123450060,
+      "count": 41
+    },
+    {
+      "ts_from": 123450060,
+      "ts_to": 123450120,
+      "count": 12
+    },
+    {
+      "ts_from": 123450120,
+      "ts_to": 123450180,
+      "count": 39
+    },
+    "..."
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### TopN
+
+Get the top N values for the specified field and period, optionally with
+filtering. Also optional are detailed counts for sub-periods of the specified
+period.
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `time_range`: Data are taken for this time range.
+
+- `field`: Which field to aggregate by (defaults to "host").
+
+- `with_subperiods`: Boolean; if set, then the results will include not only
+  data for the whole time range but also for all sub-periods.
+
+- `top_periods`: Boolean; if set, then the results will include the top N
+  sub-periods.
+
+- `filter`: Extra filters can be specified; see "Common Query Parameters"
+  description for details.
+
+- `limit`: This is the actual "N", that is, the number of values to retrieve.
+
+- `show_other`: This boolean enables one extra value called "other", with the
+  sum of all remaining values from N+1 to the end of the list.
+
+- `ignore_empty`: This boolean enables ignoring empty event field/tag values
+  (default: `True`).
+
+- `subfields`: Extra subfields can be specified to get detailed results.
+
+- `subfields_limit`: This is the actual "N" for subfields, that is, the number
+  of subfield values to show.
+
+**Results Format:**
+
+First, "totals" are always included with values for the whole time period:
+
+```json
+{
+  "totals": {
+    "ts_from": 123450000,
+    "ts_to": 123453600,
+    "values": [
+      { "name": "host32", "count": 3245 },
+      { "name": "host15", "count": 2311 },
+      { "name": "localhost", "count": 1255 },
+      "..."
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Elements are sorted from highest to lowest count, but if "show_other" is chosen
+then the last value is always "other" regardless of the count, which can be
+larger than any previous. The number of elements in "values" can be less than
+the "limit" parameter if not enough different values for the specified field
+were found in the specified time period.
+
+If "with_subperiods" is enabled, then besides "totals" there will be "details",
+an array of all sub-periods:
+
+```json
+{
+  "details": [
+    {
+      "
+
+ts_from": 123450000,
+      "ts_to": 123450060,
+      "values": [
+        { "name": "host2", "count": 1 },
+        { "name": "host3", "count": 10 },
+        { "name": "localhost", "count": 20 },
+        "..."
+      ],
+      "total_values": [
+        { "name": "host32", "count": 151 },
+        { "name": "host15", "count": 35 },
+        { "name": "localhost", "count": 13 },
+        "..."
+      ],
+      "total_count": 199
+    },
+    {
+      "ts_from": 123450060,
+      "ts_to": 123450120,
+      "values": [
+        { "name": "host32", "count": 42 },
+        { "name": "host15", "count": 0 },
+        { "name": "localhost", "count": 51 },
+        "..."
+      ],
+      "total_count": 93
+    },
+    "..."
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+In "values", the TopN value only for the specified time sub-period will be given
+(which may be different from the TopN of the entire period). In "total_values",
+there will be detailed total values for the specified time sub-period. Please
+note that for sub-periods, the order of "total_values" is always the same as in
+"totals", regardless of actual counts; also, for some entries, there can be 0
+(zero) as a count (but the actual name is always present).
+
+If "top_periods" is enabled, there will be a "top_periods" array of top (sorted
+by total_count) sub-periods:
+
+```json
+{
+  "top_periods": [
+    {
+      "ts_from": 123450000,
+      "ts_to": 123450060,
+      "values": [
+        { "name": "host32", "count": 151 },
+        { "name": "host15", "count": 35 },
+        { "name": "localhost", "count": 13 },
+        "..."
+      ],
+      "total_count": 199
+    },
+    {
+      "ts_from": 123450060,
+      "ts_to": 123450120,
+      "values": [
+        { "name": "host32", "count": 42 },
+        { "name": "host15", "count": 0 },
+        { "name": "localhost", "count": 51 },
+        "..."
+      ],
+      "total_count": 93
+    },
+    "..."
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+If "subfields" is enabled, there will be "subfields" with a counter at each
+detail sub-period:
+
+```json
+{
+  "totals": {
+    "values": [
+      {
+        "name": "host32",
+        "count": 3245,
+        "subfields": {
+          "program": [
+            { "name": "program1", "count": 3240 },
+            { "name": "program2", "count": 5 }
+          ],
+          "facility": [
+            { "name": 0, "count": 3000 },
+            { "name": 1, "count": 240 },
+            { "name": 2, "count": 5 }
+          ]
+        }
+      },
+      "..."
+    ]
+  },
+  "details": [
+    {
+      "values": [
+        {
+          "name": "host32",
+          "count": 151,
+          "subfields": {
+            "program": [
+              { "name": "program1", "count": 150 },
+              { "name": "program2", "count": 1 }
+            ],
+            "facility": [
+              { "name": 0, "count": 100 },
+              { "name": 1, "count": 50 },
+              { "name": 2, "count": 1 }
+            ]
+          }
+        },
+        "..."
+      ]
+    },
+    "..."
+  ],
+  "top_periods": [
+    {
+      "values": [
+        {
+          "name": "host32",
+          "count": 151,
+          "subfields": {
+            "program": [
+              { "name": "program1", "count": 150 },
+              { "name": "program2", "count": 1 }
+            ],
+            "facility": [
+              { "name": 0, "count": 100 },
+              { "name": 1, "count": 50 },
+              { "name": 2, "count": 1 }
+            ]
+          }
+        },
+        "..."
+      ]
+    },
+    "..."
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### LastN
+
+Get the last N values for the specified field and time period, with the number
+of occurrences per given time range.
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `time_range`: Data are retrieved for this time range.
+
+- `field`: Which field to aggregate by.
+
+- `filter`: Filtering; see "Common Query Parameters" description.
+
+- `limit`: This is the actual "N" -- number of values to show.
+
+**Results Format:**
+
+There is always only a "totals" section, with the following content:
+
+```json
+{
+  "totals": {
+    "ts_from": 123450000,
+    "ts_to": 123453600,
+    "values": [
+      { "name": "host32", "count": 3245, "last_seen": 1401981776.890153 },
+      { "name": "host15", "count": 5311, "last_seen": 1401981776.320121 },
+      { "name": "localhost", "count": 1255, "last_seen": 1401981920.082937 },
+      "..."
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+As indicated, it is similar to "TopN", but there is also a "last_seen" field,
+with possibly a fractional part of a second. Also, elements are sorted by
+"last_seen" instead of "count". Both elements shown and counts take into account
+time_range and filters.
+
+### StorageStats
+
+Get LogZilla event counters for the specified time period. This is similar to
+"EventRate", but does not allow for any filtering and returns only total
+counters without sub-period details.
+
+Time Range is rounded up to full hours, so if a 1s time period is specified the
+result will be hourly counters.
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `time_range`: Data are retrieved for this time range. Periods are generated
+  according to the description of this parameter, see section "Common Query
+  Parameters". Max time_range is the last 24 hours.
+
+**Results Format:**
+
+The result will be "totals" and "all_time" counters:
+
+- `totals`: Counters from the given period.
+
+- `all_time`: All-time counters.
+
+For both, there are three keys:
+
+- `new`: Number of new items processed (not duplicates).
+
+- `duplicates`: Number of items that were found to be duplicates.
+
+- `total`: Total sum.
+
+Sample data:
+
+```json
+{
+  "totals": {
+    "duplicates": 25,
+    "new": 75,
+    "total": 100,
+    "ts_to": 1441090061,
+    "ts_from": 1441090001
+  },
+  "all_time": {
+    "duplicates": 20000,
+    "new": 18000,
+    "total": 20000
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### ProcessingStats
+
+Get the number of events processed by LogZilla in the specified time period.
+Similar to the EventRates but does not allow for any filtering. Also, event
+timestamps are irrelevant; only the moment it was actually processed by LogZilla
+is used. To use this query, internal counters verbosity must be set to DEBUG
+(run `logzilla config INTERNAL_COUNTERS_MAX_LEVEL DEBUG`).
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `time_range`: Data are retrieved for this time range. Periods are generated
+  according to the description of this parameter, see section "Common Query
+  Parameters". Max time_range is the last 24 hours.
+
+**Results Format:**
+
+Similar to other query types, there are "totals" and "details". For both, there
+will be an object with the time range and three keys:
+
+- `new`: Number of new items processed (not duplicates).
+
+- `duplicates`: Number of items that were found to be duplicates.
+
+- `oot`: Item ignored, because their timestamp was outside the `TIME_TOLERANCE`
+  compared to the current time (this should be zero under normal circumstances).
+
+Sample data:
+
+```json
+{
+  "totals": {
+    "duplicates": 20,
+    "oot": 5,
+    "new": 75,
+    "total": 100,
+    "ts_to": 1441090061,
+    "ts_from": 1441090001
+  },
+  "details": [
+    {
+      "duplicates": 10,
+      "new": 5,
+      "oot": 15,
+      "ts_from": 1441090001,
+      "ts_to": 1441090002
+    },
+    "..."
+    {
+      "duplicates": 15,
+      "new": 1,
+      "oot": 10,
+      "ts_from": 1441090060,
+      "ts_to": 1441090061
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Notifications
+
+Get the list of notification groups, with associated events.
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `sort`: Order of notification groups, which can be one of "Oldest first",  "Newest first", "Oldest unread first", and "Newest unread first".
+
+- `time_range`: Data are taken for this time range.
+
+- `time_range_field`: Specify the field for the time range processing. Available
+  fields: "updated_at", "created_at", "unread_since", and "read_at".
+
+- `is_private`: Filter list by `is_private` flag; true or false.
+
+- `read`: Filter list by `read_flag` flag; true or false.
+
+- `with_events`: Add to data events information; true or false.
+
+Sample data:
+
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "id": 1,

+          "value": "NetScreen"
+        }
+      ],

+      "order": null
+    }
+  }
+]
+```
+
+### Tasks
+
+Get the list of tasks.
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `target`: Filter list by assigned to, which can be `assigned_to_me` or `all`.
+
+- `is_overdue`: Filter list by `is_overdue` flag; true or false.
+
+- `is_open`: Filter list by `is_open` flag; true or false.
+
+- `assigned_to`: Filter list by assigned user id list; for an empty list, it
+  will return only unassigned.
+
+- `sort`: List of fields to sort results by; available fields are "created_at"
+  and "updated_at". Descending sort order is indicated by prefixing the field
+  name with a `-` (minus) sign.
+
+Sample data:
+
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "id": 1,
+    "title": "Task name",
+    "description": "Description",
+    "due": 1446508799,

+      "username": "admin",
+      "fullname": "Admin User"
+    }
+  }
+]
+```
+
+### System_CPU
+
+Get the LogZilla system CPU utilization statistics.
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `time_range`: Data are taken for this time range; only `ts_from` and `ts_to`
+  are used; the step is always determined by the system, depending on data
+  available for the given period.
+
+- `cpu`: Number of CPUs (from 0 to n-1, with n being the actual number of CPU
+  cores in the system), or 'totals' to get the sum for all CPUs.
+
+**Results Format:**
+
+This query returns CPU usage broken down by different categories:
+
+- `user`: CPU used by user applications.
+
+- `nice`: CPU used to allocate multiple processes demanding more cycles than
+  the CPU can provide.
+
+- `system`: CPU used by the operating system itself.
+
+- `interrupt`: CPU allocated to hardware interrupts.
+
+- `softirq`: CPU servicing soft interrupts.
+
+- `wait`: CPU waiting for disk IO operations to complete.
+
+- `steal`: Xen hypervisor allocating cycles to other tasks.
+
+- `idle`: CPU not doing any work.
+
+All of those are float numbers, which should sum to approximately 100, or with
+`cpu` param set to "totals" then to `100*n` where n is the number of CPU cores.
+
+**Note:**
+
+The CPU plugin does not collect percentages. It collects "jiffies", the units
+of scheduling. On many Linux systems, there are circa 100 jiffies in one
+second, but this does not mean you will end up with a percentage. Depending on

+
+## Use Cases
+
+This section provides practical examples of how to use the LogZilla Command Line Query Tool.
+
+### Generate Weekly Excel Reports for Top Devices by Severity
+
+The following example demonstrates how to generate a weekly Excel report showing the
+top 20 devices by total message count, filtered on high severity, along with each
+host's top severities.
+
+The implementation process consists of the following steps:
+
+1. Make sure you are root:
+
+   ```sh
+   sudo su -
+   ```
+
+2. Create a file (e.g., `myfile.sh`) on your LogZilla server with the following
+   content:
+
+   ```sh
+   #!/bin/bash
+
+   # Ensure the script is run as root
+   if [ "$(id -u)" -ne 0 ]; then
+       echo "This script must be run as root. Please switch to root using 'sudo su -' and try again."
+       exit 1
+   fi
+
+   # Check if LOGZILLA_API_KEY is set in root's .bashrc
+   if ! grep -q "LOGZILLA_API_KEY" /root/.bashrc; then
+       echo "LOGZILLA_API_KEY is not set in /root/.bashrc."
+       echo "Please run 'logzilla authtoken list' to retrieve your API key."
+       echo "Add 'LOGZILLA_API_KEY=your_api_key' to /root/.bashrc, replace 'your_api_key' with the actual key."
+       echo "Then run 'source /root/.bashrc' to apply the changes and re-run this script."
+       exit 1
+   fi
+
+   # Create the cron job
+   echo "Adding the following to '/etc/cron.d/logzilla-daily-report':"
+   echo "0 6 * * * root logzilla query -t TopN -P \${HOME}/.logzilla-topn-report.json --output-file /tmp/top20_devices_with_severities-$(date +%Y%m%d).xlsx --format xlsx -a \${LOGZILLA_API_KEY}" | tee /etc/cron.d/logzilla-daily-report
+
+   # Create the .logzilla-topn-report.json configuration file
+   cat <<EOL > /root/.logzilla-topn-report.json
+   {
+       "field": "host",
+       "limit": 20,
+       "time_range": {
+           "preset": "last_24_hours"
+       },
+       "filter": [
+           { "field": "severity", "value": [0, 1, 2, 3] }
+       ],
+       "subfields": ["severity"],
+       "subfields_limit": 20
+   }
+   EOL
+   ```
+
+3. Run the script:
+
+   ```sh
+   bash ./myfile.sh
+   ```
+
+The script creates an `/etc/cron.d/logzilla-daily-report` file that automatically
+generates the Excel report with the current date to
+`/tmp/top20_devices_with_severities-$(date +%Y%m%d).xlsx` on a daily basis at 6 AM.
+
+> Note: The example stores the report in `/tmp` for simplicity, but should be
+> modified to a more permanent location if desired.
+
+### Extract Events Per Week from Last Year
+
+This procedure generates a report of event counts per week for the past year, converting the results into an easy-to-use CSV file.
+
+> **Important:** Set the `LOGZILLA_API_KEY` in your environment before proceeding.
+
+1. **Create a parameter file** (`eventrate-params.json`):
+
+   ```json
+   {
+     "time_range": {
+       "preset": "last_365_days",
+       "step": 604800
+     },
+     "with_archive": true
+   }
+   ```
+
+> **Note:** The `step` value `604800` equals one week (60 seconds × 60 minutes
+> × 24 hours × 7 days).
+
+1. **Run the LogZilla query:**
+
+   ```sh
+   sudo logzilla query -t EventRate -P eventrate-params.json \
+       --output-file eventrate.json -a ${LOGZILLA_API_KEY}
+   ```
+
+   This generates a JSON file named `eventrate.json` containing event data.
+
+2. **Convert the JSON to CSV using `jq`:**
+
+   ```sh
+   jq -r '
+   .results.details |
+   (["ts_from","ts_to","count"]),
+   (.[] | [
+     (.ts_from | todate),
+     (.ts_to | todate),
+     .count
+   ]) | @csv' eventrate.json > eventrate.csv
+   ```
+
+Your results are now saved in `eventrate.csv`.
+
+1. **Example CSV output:**
+
+   ```csv
+   "ts_from","ts_to","count"
+   "2025-03-18T12:17:00Z","2025-03-18T12:18:00Z",7019
+   "2025-03-18T12:18:00Z","2025-03-18T12:19:00Z",7036
+   "2025-03-18T12:19:00Z","2025-03-18T12:20:00Z",6870
+   ```
+
+### EventRate Sample Shell Script
+
+Here's a complete shell script example to automate the above steps:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+LOGZILLA_API_KEY="your_logzilla_api_key_here"
+
+PARAM_FILE="eventrate-params.json"
+JSON_OUTPUT="eventrate.json"
+CSV_OUTPUT="eventrate.csv"
+
+cat > "$PARAM_FILE" <<EOF
+{

+      "step": 604800
+    },
+    "with_archive": true
+}
+EOF
+
+sudo logzilla query -t EventRate -P "$PARAM_FILE" \
+    --output-file "$JSON_OUTPUT" -a "$LOGZILLA_API_KEY"
+
+if [ ! -f "$JSON_OUTPUT" ]; then
+  echo "Error: JSON output file not created."
+  exit 1
+fi
+
+jq -r '
+.results.details |
+(["ts_from","ts_to","count"]),
+(.[] | [
+  (.ts_from | todate),
+  (.ts_to | todate),
+  .count
+]) | @csv' "$JSON_OUTPUT" > "$CSV_OUTPUT"
+
+echo "CSV output successfully generated at: $CSV_OUTPUT"
+```
+
+### Find the Oldest Event in the System
+
+This procedure identifies the oldest event stored in LogZilla, including archived data:
+
+1. **Create a parameter file** (`oldest-event.json`):
+
+   ```json
+   {
+     "time_range": {
+       "preset": "last_9999_days"
+     },
+     "sort": [
+       "first_occurrence"
+     ],
+     "limit": 1,
+     "with_archive": true
+   }
+   ```
+
+   > **Note:** A large time range (`last_9999_days`) ensures the search includes
+   > all available data, including archives.
+
+2. **Run the query:**
+
+   ```sh
+   sudo logzilla query -t Search -P oldest-event.json -a ${LOGZILLA_API_KEY}
+   ```
+
+3. **View the oldest event:** The result will display details of the earliest
+   recorded event in LogZilla.
+
+   Sample output:
+
+   ```json
+   {"page_number":1,"page_size":1,"offset":0,"page_count":1,"item_count":1,"objects":[{"id":6330125066960896,"severity":6,"facility":23,"trigger_ids":[],"message":"%ASA-6-302023: Teardown forwarder TCP connection for outside:69.133.216.93/443 to unknown:123.191.222.48/38496 duration 0:00:00 forwarded bytes 0 Forwarding or redirect flow removed to create director or backup flow","host":"EDGEFW-ASACL01","program":"Cisco ASA","cisco_mnemonic":"ASA-6-302023","user_tags":{},"extra_fields":{},"status":0,"counter":1,"first_occurrence":1741910400.000908,"last_occurrence":1741910400.000908,"_id":"6330125066960896","severity_name":"INFO","facility_name":"LOCAL7","status_name":"UNKNOWN","triggers_fired_count":0,"triggers_fired_data":[],"notes_count":0,"notes":[],"first_occurrence_date":"2025/03/14 00:00:00","last_occurrence_date":"2025/03/14 00:00:00"}]}

+To configure custom DNS for LogZilla use do the following: 
+ 
+* Create (or edit if it exists) `/etc/docker/daemon.json`
+* Add your DNS settings in the form:
+
+```
+{
+    "dns": [

+
+* Restart the docker daemon:
+
+```
+systemctl restart docker
+```
+
+
+# Custom Hosts File
+In the event that you do not have reverse lookups available in your DNS, you may also specify manual host mappings. 
+
+To set up specific name mappings:
+  
+* Create a new file on your local LogZilla server named `hosts.in`, in the `/etc/logzilla` directory. The format follows the same format as a standard `/etc/hosts` file:
+
+```
+1.2.3.4 foo.bar.baz

+# Relocating LogZilla Archive Files
+
+LogZilla keeps a record of past events in an archive. The archive’s size
+is managed by the `logzilla config ARCHIVE_FLUSH_DAYS` and
+`logzilla config ARCHIVE_EXPIRE_DAYS` commands, as explained in the
+[backend configuration
+options](/help/administration/backend_configuration_options).
+
+The LogZilla archive’s size depends on the settings mentioned above and
+the number of events LogZilla processes. To check the space occupied by
+the LogZilla archive, use the following command:
+
+    du -csh /var/lib/docker/volumes/lz_archive/
+
+If necessary, you can move the LogZilla archive to a different drive or
+directory to save disk space. To do this, execute the following commands
+as the `root` user:
+
+    logzilla stop
+    docker run --rm -v /new_archive_dir:/new_archive_dir -v lz_archive:/temp_archive  logzilla/runtime sh -c "mv  /temp_archive/* /new_archive_dir/"
+    docker rm lz_watcher
+    docker volume rm lz_archive
+    docker volume create --opt type=none --opt o=bind --opt device=/new_archive_dir  lz_archive
+    logzilla start
+
+In these commands, replace `old_archive_dir` with the current location
+of the LogZilla archive. For a default LogZilla installation, this is
+`/var/lib/docker/volumes/lz_archive`. Substitute `new_archive_dir` with
+the desired new location (directory) for the LogZilla archive. The
+`new_archive_dir` represents the destination where you want to move the
+archive. Make sure that this directory already exists before proceeding
+with the relocation process.

+
+# Port Number Display Mapping
+
+LogZilla automatically maps port numbers to their respective IANA-Assigned names (see below for a list) to make it more human-friendly when creating UI widgets.
+
+If there is an app or a rule assigned to handle the particular type of log
+message, LogZilla will read the numeric port number and determine the
+appropriate service name. 
+
+For example, when `DstPort` or similar user tags are
+set regarding the network port in the message, it will display the service name
+rather than the number in widgets on the dashboard. 
+
+Here's an example of a pie chart widget and a list widget showing how
+the port service names would be used rather than the port numbers.
+
+![Port Service Names](@@path/images/network-port-widgets.jpg)
+
+Note that when drilling down into the actual message in the search results, 
+the original log message will be left as-is, showing the
+numeric port number so that the original message is preserved. 
+
+Here's an example showing how the numeric port numbers are retained when
+examining the log message detail.
+
+![Port Service Numbers](@@path/images/network-port-drilldown.jpg)
+
+# IANA-Assigned Ports
+
+TCP and UDP port numbers are generally assigned
+to specific recipient services or purposes for the connection. Those
+port assignments are listed below. Please note that some of the port
+assignments are officially standardized by the
+*Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)*, while some have become 
+accepted as common use, but not "officially" assigned by IANA.
+
+Port numbers that are listed twice, mean there are or have been multiple different
+uses of that same port number by various organizations.
+
+LogZilla maps all of the following port numbers to their respective names. Anything outside of this port range is marked as a "Dynamic" port since there is no official (or unofficial) documentation on that port.
+
+

+# LogZilla Command Line Maintenance and Troubleshooting
+
+Most of LogZilla operation can be maintained and investigated using the *linux*
+command line. There are many *linux* shell scripts that assist with
+administration of LogZilla. Where appropriate those scripts are referred
+to elsewhere in the documentation (section *Administration*,
+*Command Line Utilities Reference*). That section gives the entire list of
+scripts and their parameters.
+
+These scripts are run via `logzilla scriptname [action name] [arguments]`.
+
+## LogZilla Command Line Usage
+
+You must use root permissions, for control of LogZilla’s docker containers.
+All logzilla commands are issued using the program `logzilla` at the command line.
+If you type `logzilla` by itself, you will receive a list of the different
+command line options, and if you do `logzilla` then `option -h `, it
+will show you brief help for that specific option.
+Note that the specifics of each of the command line options is documented in
+the on-line help section for *Administration*, *Command Line Utilities*.
+
+## LogZilla Command Line Maintenance
+
+### Licenses
+
+LogZilla licensing is based on an events per day limit. When a server exceeds
+that limit 3 days in a row, access to the UI will be denied with a message
+letting the user know that they are over their limit. Every server installation
+generates a unique hash, or license key, so the same key cannot be used more
+than once.
+
+Using the `logzilla license` command, you can perform several actions: 
+list the license status and permitted rate; show the actual license key token;
+verify that the license key is correct; download revised license information;
+and load license information from a file.
+
+Listing the license status:
+```
+root@aaron-videos-lz [~]:# logzilla license info
+**** License info ****
+Customer   : Unspecified
+Is valid   : True
+EPD limit  : 1000000000
+Expire date: 2023/10/07 10:58:23
+```
+
+Showing the license key:
+```
+root@aaron-videos-lz [~]:# logzilla license key
+4cc1bef45d600dc699e0c3ecfda156aa1e5afae766820a4d4cc1bef45d600dc6
+```
+
+Verifying the key is correct:
+```
+root@demo [~]:# logzilla license verify
+License for 4cc1bef45d600dc699e0c3ecfda156aa1e5afae766820a4d4cc1bef45d600dc6 is valid

+
+### Upgrading LogZilla
+
+The LogZilla web ui will indicate when there is a new version of LogZilla
+available. Then to perform the upgrade, you use the `logzilla` command as follows:
+
+```
+root@demo [~]:# logzilla upgrade
+Starting LogZilla upgrade to 'v6.31.0-dev32'

+```
+
+### Setting Configuration Options
+
+Once you have LogZilla properly installed and running, there are multiple
+operational configuration settings that can be changed. Note that most of the
+critical configuration options can be set using the web UI, on the *Settings*,
+*System Settings* page. However those same options, and many more are available
+using the `logzilla config` command. If you do that command by itself it will
+list all the configuration options.
+
+The options you would change via the `logzilla config` command are lesser-used
+or more system-operational settings that ordinarily are not changed, but here
+is how you go about changing them if necessary.
+
+You can get a list of the configuration options and their current values by
+doing the `logzilla config` command by itself. These options are also
+documented in help section
+[*Administration*, *Backend Configuration Options*](/help/administration/backend_configuration_options).
+
+Be aware that in most cases,
+changing options using the `logzilla` command will require a LogZilla restart
+to take effect, though in certain cases operational interruption can be avoided
+by just restarting individual LogZilla docker modules.
+
+One of the options is to control the time frame for the deduplication window.
+Deduplication is when LogZilla recognizes that multiple copies of the same
+message are coming in, and rather than recording and responding to each message
+individually, LogZilla recognizes that it is the same message repeating. Note
+that in order to recognize that a message is repeating, it must reoccur over a
+window of time, for example if the window is set for 10 seconds, and the
+messages reoccur every 11 seconds, LogZilla will not recognize those as
+duplicates because they are outside the window. By default, the deduplication
+window is 60 seconds, but this is how you would change that:
+
+```
+root@demo [~]:# logzilla config | grep -i dedup
+DEDUP_CACHE_SIZE=180
+DEDUP_WINDOW=60
+
+root@demo [~]:# logzilla config DEDUP_WINDOW
+60
+
+root@demo [~]:# logzilla config DEDUP_WINDOW 120
+DEDUP_WINDOW=120
+```
+
+Another option is the deduplication cache size.
+This is the maximum number of messages that can be checked for deduplication.
+If the deduplication cache size is 3, and actually 4 different messages are in
+a repeating loop, only 3 of those will be deduplicated, with the fourth one
+just reoccurring as individual messages. The default deduplication cache size
+is 180, but this is how it can be changed:
+
+```
+root@demo [~]:# logzilla config DEDUP_CACHE_SIZE 181
+DEDUP_CACHE_SIZE=181
+```
+
+## LogZilla Troubleshooting
+
+Regarding troubleshooting, many diagnostic and remediation processes can be
+accomplished via the command line, both with and without using the `logzilla`
+command.
+
+If LogZilla seems to be operating properly but the web user interface shows
+no events coming in, and there should be, it is possible there is a problem
+with the system firewall preventing incoming log events from reaching LogZilla.
+Note that for Red Hat linux, the default firewall configuration will be
+configured in this manner, so **in order for LogZilla to work on a RHEL system,
+please see the instructions below**.
+
+LogZilla listens on multiple ports, depending on how it has been configured.
+There is more information about this in
+[Section 4.4](/help/administration/network_communications).
+
+For typical linux systems, you would use *iptables* or *ufw*, or possibly
+*firewall-cmd* (for RHEL systems) to control the system firewall.
+For *iptables*, use the following command to list all active rules:
+```
+sudo iptables -L -v -n
+```
+For *ufw*, use the following command to list all active rules:
+```
+sudo ufw status verbose
+```
+
+For *firewall-cmd* (RHEL), use the following command to list all active rules:
+```
+sudo firewall-cmd --list-all
+```
+
+In any of these cases, the rules may be configured in various ways
+that would block the ports LogZilla needs. The individual rules
+will have to be scrutinized to see if they are configured to do so.
+
+Again, **for RHEL**, the firewall *by default* will be configured to prevent
+incoming traffic to LogZilla. The following commands *must* be used after
+LogZilla is installed on a RHEL system, in order for LogZilla to receive
+events:
+
+```
+firewall-cmd --list-all
+firewall-cmd --add-port=514-516/udp --add-port=514-516/tcp --add-port=601/tcp --add-port=6514/tcp
+firewall-cmd --runtime-to-permanent
+firewall-cmd --list-all
+```
+
+If LogZilla appears to be receving events, or appears to be in a state
+in which the problem may be more severe than just communications,
+the first step to troubleshooting would be to check machine operation to see
+if the problem actually is with logzilla. This would be done by checking cpu,
+memory, and disk utilization.
+
+First and easiest to determine is disk utilization. Docker can use virtual
+filesystems that can cause investigation to be more complicated, so use two
+commands, one to check docker and one to check all except docker.
+
+The first is `df -h /var/lib/docker`.
+Check the results of this to see if “use%” is near 100%:
+
+```
+root@demo [~]:# df -h /var/lib/docker
+Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
+/dev/sda1        90G   88G  1.4G  99% /
+```
+
+If that is the case it is likely LogZilla is using the disk space (though it
+is possible it is a different program running in a docker container, if any
+are on the system). In this case, you should remove some of the log data
+logzilla is maintaining.
+
+Archived historical log events are in the
+`/var/lib/docker/volumes/lz_archive/_data` directory. Underneath that directory
+there are one or more `storage-#` directories (corresponding to however many
+storage modules you have configured LogZilla to use, default 1). In the storage
+directory there will be multiple directories such as `H1693944000`, which are
+the directories that store the actual archive files:
+
+```
+root@demo [~]:# ll /var/lib/docker/volumes/lz_archive/_data/storage-1
+total 33M
+drwxr-xr-x 3549 root root 140K Sep 14 05:02 ./
+drwxr-xr-x    7 root root 4.0K Feb 16  2022 ../
+drwxr-xr-x    3 root root 4.0K Aug  8 06:56 H1660089600/
+drwxr-xr-x    3 root root 4.0K Aug  8 06:56 H1660093200/
+drwxr-xr-x    3 root root 4.0K Aug  8 06:56 H1660100400/
+drwxr-xr-x    3 root root 4.0K Aug  8 06:56 H1660107600/
+drwxr-xr-x    3 root root 4.0K Aug  8 06:56 H1660122000/
+drwxr-xr-x    3 root root 4.0K Aug  8 06:57 H1660140000/
+drwxr-xr-x    3 root root 4.0K Aug  8 06:57 H1660161600/
+(...)
+```
+
+Note that the dates of the `H1693944000` (etc.) directories are the dates on
+which the archive operation was performed by LogZilla. The archive operations
+will be automatically performed by LogZilla per the schedule you have
+configured in the LogZilla settings. So the archive directories for a given
+date will have the data that was for the period starting at the start of the
+existing data (for example, 8 days ago) up to the auto-archive date (for
+example, 7 days ago) and store that in a directory with today's date.
+
+You can use this information to help decide which archive files to either move
+or delete. Moving or deleting the files can be done while LogZilla is running,
+so to free up disk space, these files can be moved/deleted at will. If you
+decide you want to keep archive files for some arbitrary period of time (for
+example, a year), after those archive files are moved off, they can selectively
+be moved back so that LogZilla has access to them again as required.
+
+Note that you can also manually archive log events using the `logzilla archive`
+command, in order to free up even greater disk space by moving LogZilla "hot"
+data to "warm" archived data, and then subsequently deleting it or moving it to
+"cold" storage off-line. (See below for *Archiving Log Data*.)
+
+The second is `df -h | grep -v "/var/lib/docker`:
+
+```
+root@demo [~]:# df -h | grep -v "/var/lib/docker"
+Filesystem               Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
+udev                     7.9G   16M  7.9G   1% /dev
+tmpfs                    1.6G  868K  1.6G   1% /run
+/dev/sda1                 90G   88G  1.4G  99% /
+tmpfs                    7.9G     0  7.9G   0% /dev/shm
+tmpfs                    5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
+tmpfs                    7.9G     0  7.9G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
+/dev/sda15               105M  6.7M   98M   7% /boot/efi
+```
+
+CPU utilization can be checked using the `top` command:
+
+![top command example](@@path/images/linux-top-example.png)
+
+The list is sorted in order of the highest utilization processes at the top to
+lowest at the bottom. You would look at the top processes to see if something
+out of the ordinary is dragging on the cpu. Normal processes would be `dockerd`,
+`python`, and `influxd`. 
+
+If `python` is high you may have a trigger script race condition, which would
+temporarily be resolved by `logzilla restart` but then triggers should be
+further investigated to see why logzilla trigger processing is
+high-utilization. If otherwise, and you don’t recognize in particular the top
+process(es), you would just do `logzilla restart` and check `top` afterwards
+and LogZilla performance in general to see if the problem has been resolved.
+
+To check if memory is full, use the `free -h` command:
+```
+root@demo [~]:# free -h
+              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
+Mem:            15G        551M        9.3G         16M        5.8G         14G
+Swap:            0B          0B          0B
+```
+
+If “available” is low, less than “100M”, then the system is critically low
+and may be having errors. You can determine which process is using the most
+memory by running `top`, then when top is displayed, push `M` (capital).
+
+(See `top` image above). Memory usage by process is specified by the “%MEM”
+column from the top memory-using process to the lowest. Typically for a healthy
+logzilla system, `influxd` will be the top memory-using process. The exact
+percentage used will vary, but if you add up the first 10 processes and are
+over 95% this will confirm the system is critically low on memory. If in this
+case `influxd` is using the majority of the available memory then LogZilla has
+a combination of too much active data with too much cardinality (cardinality
+meaning how many unique vales there are for fields that are indexed by
+logzilla). The immediate solution is to archive some of LogZilla's events to
+move events from hot-storage to warm-storage.
+
+Look at the section below for directions how to archive logzilla events.
+
+Long-term, you may want to consider reducing the cardinality of events you are
+storing. You can see your current event cardinality by doing
+`logzilla events cardinality`:
+
+```
+root@1206r [~]:# logzilla events cardinality
+cardinality: 103246
+cardinality per field:
+        host: 646
+        program: 440
+        cisco_mnemonic: 169
+        facility: 18
+        severity: 8
+        type: 3
+cardinality per tag:
+        MAC: 80046
+        SrcIP to DstIP: 80029
+        srcuser: 35196

+If your cardinality is over “200,000” you may want to contact logzilla support
+for further help in how cardinality may be able to be addressed.
+
+If the system itself is not at capacity in disk, memory, or cpu, then the next
+thing to do is to check the `logzilla.log` file, which is in the
+`/var/log/logzilla/` directory. Most LogZilla problems will be indicated here.
+A convenient way to narrow down what may be going wrong is to do
+`grep -v -e INFO -e WARNING /var/log/logzilla/logzilla.log` to skip
+“informational” and “warning” messages:
+```
+root@demo [~]:# grep -v -e INFO -e WARNING /var/log/logzilla/logzilla.log
+root@demo [~]:#
+```
+
+If that doesn’t show any obvious smoking gun, try including the warning messages:
+`grep -v -e INFO /var/log/logzilla/logzilla.log`.
+
+```
+root@demo [~]:# grep -v -e INFO /var/log/logzilla/logzilla.log

+```
+
+Regarding solutions, the simplest and most frequent command is just
+`logzilla restart`, which causes logzilla to shut down gracefully then start
+back up. You can selectively restart LogZilla modules if you want to keep
+LogZilla operational but restart one of the LogZilla services, or handle if
+only one of the modules is having a problem.
+
+First, you can check to see if all the LogZilla modules as *docker* containers
+are running. Do `docker ps | grep lz_` to list just the LogZilla containers,
+and their statuses (`docker ps | grep lz_ | less -S` can be easier to read).
+
+```
+root@demo [~]:# docker ps -a | grep lz_

+```
+
+Each of the logzilla containers is prefixed by `lz_`.
+
+There should be 22 containers, and if one is not running you can
+restart just that module. Now, for example, if email is not being sent, you
+can restart the email module, using `logzilla restart`, as follows:
+
+```
+root@demo [~]:# logzilla restart -c mailer
+ lz.docker  INFO     Restarting container mailer...
+ lz.docker  INFO     Done
+```
+
+If all the LogZilla docker containers are running, then the `logzilla config`
+command can be used to check the LogZilla operational parameters to make
+sure they are configured as you would expect, such as to make sure LogZilla
+is listening on the appropriate ports, various limits are set correctly,
+etc. (as mentioned above). 
+
+Next, you can use the `logzilla shell` command to inspect operation of the
+various logzilla modules in their *docker* containers. For example, if mail is
+not being sent, you can check to verify that none of the mail processes have
+stopped for some reason. The simplest option is to restart the mailer
+container, as previously mentioned, but if desired you can do a more in-depth
+investigation. You do the command `logzilla shell -c containername command`:
+
+```
+root@1206r [~]:# logzilla shell -c mailer sh
+/ #
+```
+
+
+
+With the `logzilla shell` command you put the name of the container, excluding
+the leading `lz_`. After the container name you put the command you want to
+execute inside that container. For troubleshooting, starting with the shell is
+helpful. Then to check the email processes, just do `ps`, and you should see
+the three processes `postfix/master`, `qmgr`, and `pickup`:
+
+```
+root@demo [~]:# logzilla shell -c mailer sh
+/ # ps
+PID   USER     TIME  COMMAND
+    1 root      0:07 /usr/libexec/postfix/master -i
+   77 postfix   0:01 qmgr -l -t unix -u
+  107 postfix   0:00 pickup -l -t unix -u
+  108 root      0:00 sh
+  114 root      0:00 ps
+/ #
+```
+
+If LogZilla rules do not seem to be executing properly, it is possible that a
+run-time error occurred in processing a rule. Note that even though a rule
+passes the rule test file, there may be situations encountered in real-world
+log message processing that result in the rule encountering an error.
+
+To check to see if there are any rules errors, use `logzilla rules list`:
+
+```
+root@demo [~]:# logzilla rules list
+Name                 Source           Type    Status    Errors
+-------------------  ---------------  ------  --------  --------
+200-cisco            cisco            lua     enabled   -
+202-cisco-cleanup    cisco            lua     enabled   -
+500-bind             linux__bind      lua     enabled   -
+900-broken-rule      user             lua     disabled  20
+999-program-cleanup  program_cleanup  lua     enabled   -
+```
+
+You can see the status for the rule with the error is `disabled` and there
+are `20` errors encountered, before the rule was automatically disabled.
+You can get the specific error details using `logzilla rules errors`:
+
+```
+root@demo [~]:# logzilla rules errors
+Time: 2023-09-14 10:51:42
+Type: Event processing

+```
+
+If an error has been encountered, the error details will indicate where in the
+lua code the error occurred (in this case, line `9`) and why
+(`bad argument #1 to 'match' (string expected, got nil)`).
+
+
+### Archiving Log Data
+
+Use the `logzilla archives` command to archive events:
+```

+
+
+## Release Timing
+New versions of LogZilla are released to the public on a regular basis. An alert will be displayed in the UI when new versions are available.
+Our development team follows a process known as [Scrum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrum_%28software_development%29) so that we may bring new features and fixes to you at a much faster pace.  
+
+LogZilla software releases are performed from three "branches", corresponding to "stages" of the development process (those three stages are listed as *branches* just below).  Releases from these three branches have their own version numbering schemes.  *stable* releases come from the *master* branch and are in the form `vx.y.z` (such as `v6.16.0`) indicating a "concluded" state.  *staging* releases come from the *staging* branch and are in the form `vx.y.z-rcA` (such as `v6.16.0-rc2`) indicating a "release candidate" state.  *unstable* releases come from the *development* branch and are in the form of `vx.y.z-devA` (such as`v6.16.0-dev3`), indicating they are still in a "development" state.
+
+
+## Development Lifecycle
+Our development cycle for a ticket lasts `6 weeks` from start to end. This is because there are 3 stages that an enhancement or bugfix must pass before being released:
+
+ - Development Branch
+ - Staging Branch
+ - Master Branch
+
+
+![Ticket Lifecycle](@@path/images/ticketflow.png)
+
+
+### Development Branch (`unstable` *release*)
+Developers work locally on their own workstations to write and test the code on their own systems. Once they feel it is ready, they will push their changes to a separate branch in the code repository which is associated with the ticket number they are working on - at which time, the ticket is marked for `Peer Review`. 
+Once the ticket is reviewed by one of their peers and passes, the code is then merged into the `Development` branch of our repository and marked as `QA ready`. The QA team checks the work on the development branch (which is automatically installed on a test server) to make sure everything looks good. 
+
+At the end of each sprint, the associated work done on each ticket is demonstrated to the entire company by the developer who wrote the code. For example, if one of our UI developers writes a new feature to "send email", then he or she would then demonstrate that function during a company meeting held at the end of the sprint.
+
+### Staging Branch (`staging` *release*)
+Once the code has passed QA and been demonstrated to the company stakeholders, it is then pushed to our staging branch (and deployed to a staging test server). At this time, the QA team checks the software for regression bugs. Meaning that they test LogZilla to find out if the introduction of the new code has broken any of the old code.
+
+### Master Branch (`stable` *release*)
+After passing regression testing, the `Staging` branch is then merged to the `Master` branch and uploaded to our repository server for public accessibility. 
+It is at this time that users will see the work done which started 6 weeks prior.
+
+>Some users prefer to use staging or even development versions of LogZilla so that they get the latest updates even faster. Generally speaking, this is fine (we have only had 1 regression bug since we started). Instructions on how to switch branches can be found in [Upgrading Logzilla](/help/software_information/upgrading_logzilla).
+
+
+## Version Support Policy
+
+LogZilla regularly releases updates with new features, bug fixes, and security improvements. As part of our commitment to providing a secure and high-quality product, we maintain the following support policy:
+
+### Currently Supported Versions
+- LogZilla v6.26.0 and above are currently supported with updates, security patches, and technical support.
+
+### End of Life (EOL) Versions
+- All versions prior to v6.26.0 are End of Life (EOL) and no longer receive updates or support.
+- Users running EOL versions are strongly encouraged to upgrade to a supported version to ensure optimal performance, security, and access to the latest features.
+
+For detailed upgrade instructions, please refer to [Upgrading LogZilla](/help/software_information/upgrading_logzilla).

+
+
+## New Features
+
+### App Store
+
+LogZilla `v6.14` includes a major update which now offers an App Store allowing users to add rules, dashboards and triggers at the click on a button. 
+
+The new app store is available in the UI under the `Settings` menu. 
+
+In this initial release, we have added apps for the following types:
+
+* Cisco ASA
+* Cisco Firepower
+* Cisco Meraki
+* Cisco route/switch
+* Cisco WLC
+* Microsoft Windows
+* Palo Alto
+* Watchguard
+
+Future releases will include most, if not all, of the rules currently located in the [Packages](https://github.com/logzilla/extras/tree/master/packages) and [Rules](https://github.com/logzilla/extras/tree/master/packages) directories on GitHub.
+
+
+#### AWS Kinesis Firehose Receiver
+
+Customers may now send their Firehose data streams using http(s) to the LogZilla API using the `/firehose` URL. 
+
+E.g.: `http://logzilla.mycompany.com/firehose`
+
+#### LUA-based rules
+
+The LogZilla rules engine now supports [LUA](https://www.lua.org/)
+
+Lua is a powerful, efficient, lightweight, embeddable scripting language supporting procedural programming, object-oriented programming, functional programming, data-driven programming, and data description.
+
+The addition of LUA increases LogZilla's rule parsing performance by a factor of 10 (it was already fast, but now it's faster) and also adds much more flexibility to data manipulation in real-time.
+
+
+### Docker Volume Locations
+
+Most of LogZilla's configuration files are now stored on the host OS at `/etc/logzilla` providing much easier access to power-users.
+
+```
+/etc/logzilla/
+├── apps
+├── forwarder.d
+├── nginx
+├── rules
+│   ├── enabled
+│   ├── system
+│   └── user
+├── sec
+├── syslog-ng
+└── telegraf
+```
+
+### Windows Event ID Descriptions
+
+We've added a knowledge base of Windows Event ID's, accessible in the "Description" column in search results. Selecting the ID will provide:
+
+* Full Description
+* Category
+* Sub Category
+* Auditing
+* Volume
+* PCI
+* Command
+* Tags
+* Operating Systems this EID applies to
+* URL Reference
+
+
+## API Updates
+
+### Tasks
+
+- Improved diagnostics for App Store rules.
+- Upgraded libraries for CPP & Python.
+- Added Lua scripting rules feature to improve App Store performance.
+

+# LogZilla on VMWare
+
+Users may [download](http://www.logzilla.net/download) a LogZilla
+instance for use in testing or smaller scale deployments.
+
+For larger deployments, this VM may still be used, but your System
+Administrator will need to add a second disk (and likely more Ram and
+CPU) to the VM to ensure that all data can be stored and processed at
+scale.
+
+The default disk size in the LogZilla VM is 50GB. Adding a second disk
+to the VM is quite simple as it is pre-configured to use Linux’s Logical
+Volume Manager (LVM).
+
+### Adding More Disk Space
+
+> Note: The VM does not need to be powered off in order to add more disk
+> space.
+
+To add more disk to the VM using VMWare, follow these steps:
+
+1.  Add a new disk in VMWare. This disk will be formatted in the OS
+    after adding it. **Do not** attempt to grow the current VM Disk; add
+    a second disk instead.
+
+2.  After adding the second disk, connect to the console or SSH to the
+    running LogZilla Server as root.
+
+3.  Identify the name of the new disk added by running:
+
+4.  fdisk -l | grep /dev/[sv]
+
+    Look for a disk without partitions, which is likely the new one.
+
+5.  Format and prepare the new disk:
+
+        disk="/dev/vdb" # replace with your disk name
+        printf 'n\n\n\n\n\nt\n8e\np\nw\n' | fdisk -c -u $disk
+        partprobe ${disk} # Inform the OS of partition table changes.
+        part=1
+        pvcreate ${disk}${part}
+
+6.  Extend the volume group to include the new physical volume:
+
+        vg=$(vgdisplay -c | cut -d ':' -f 2 | head -1)
+        vgextend ${vg} ${disk}${part}
+
+7.  Extend the logical volume. Identify the LV path for `/` to extend
+    using the following command:
+
+        lvpath=$(df --output=source / | tail -1)
+
+    If the logical volume to extend is not mounted as ‘/’, replace the
+    above command with criteria that accurately identify the LV.
+
+8.  Extend the logical volume and resize the filesystem:
+
+        lvextend -l+100%FREE ${lvpath}
+        resize2fs ${lvpath}
+
+> Note: If your disk is 100% full, the `vgextend` command will not
+> complete successfully and space will need to be freed up.
+
+8.  Verify the changes:
+
+        partprobe
+
+After running these commands, you should see a message stating that the
+volume has been resized. No further action is needed.
+
+If you do not have VMWare Server or Workstation, you can download the
+VMWare player for free from [Downloading and installing VMware Workstation Player](https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article?legacyId=2053973).

+<!-- @@@title:UDP Buffer Tuning@@@ -->
+
+In larger deployments (greater than 5-10k EPS), you may find that the server is dropping UDP packets.
+Drops may be seen by using the command `netstat -su`, for example:
+
+    Udp:
+    107425170 packets received
+    2287 packets to unknown port received.
+    0 packet receive errors
+    62601926 packets sent
+    IgnoredMulti: 576830
+
+`packets received` indicates the total amount of packets received to the system since the last reboot.
+`packets to unknown port` indicates that there was no application available when a UDP packet was sent to the server. For example, if you were to shut down the LogZilla service, but devices were still trying to send, this number would increase.
+`packet receive errors` indicate that there were errors while trying to receive and process the incoming packets.  Note that a single packet may generate multiple errors.
+
+## Testing UDP Performance
+
+First, make sure that no other applications are listening on the UDP port used during testing. If using port 514, be sure to shut down syslog-ng (`service syslog-ng stop`) prior to running the following commands.
+
+Run `netcat` in listening mode
+
+    netcat -u -p 514 -l > /tmp/logs
+
+In a separate ssh terminal, use `loggen` (provided with the syslog-ng application) to generate messages:
+
+    ./loggen -r 10000 -D -I 10 127.0.0.1 514
+
+Once loggen completes, it will provide the rate information:
+
+    average rate = 10877.62 msg/sec, count=108783, time=10.006, msg size=256, bandwidth=2719.40 kB/sec
+
+use `wc -l` to verify the line count reported by the `loggen` command.
+This number should match, or come very close to, the number from `loggen`.
+
+    wc -l /tmp/logs
+
+Sample output:
+
+    #wc -l /tmp/logs
+    108783 /tmp/logs
+
+Next, check for any UDP errors using `netstat -su` as noted above.
+ If `netstat` shows errors, try increasing the UDP buffers using:
+ 
+    sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=33554432
+
+>This will set the buffer to 32M (the default in linux is 122k: `net.core.rmem_default = 124928`)
+
+Continue with testing until you are comfortable with the buffer size assigned.
+
+Once you have a good buffer size, you may set it permanently by adding the setting to `/etc/sysctl.conf` and applying it using `sysctl -p`, for example:
+
+    echo "net.core.rmem_max=33554432" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
+    sysctl -p
+
+You may want to also add a few other tuning options, such as
+
+    net.ipv4.udp_mem = 192576 256768 385152 
+    net.ipv4.udp_rmem_min = 4096
+    sysctl -w net.ipv4.udp_mem='262144 327680 393216'
+
+> net.ipv4.udp_mem works in pages, so multiply values by `PAGE_SIZE`, where `PAGE_SIZE = 4096` (4K). Thus, the maximum udp_mem is set to `385152 * 4096` = `1,577,582,592`
+
+You may also increase the queue size for incoming packets using:
+
+    sysctl -w net.core.netdev_max_backlog=2000
+
+> Remember that using `sysctl -w` only changes these values until the server is rebooted. To make the changes permanent, be sure to add them to the `/etc/sysctl.conf` file.

+<!-- @@@title:CPU Frequency Governors@@@ -->
+
+Recent Intel CPUs provide both energy-saving and performance boost capabilities, respectively named `SpeedStep` and `TurboBoost`. 
+These features change individual core frequency depending on system load.
+However, this may not have the desired outcome on high-performance servers.
+
+### Checking The Current Processor Speed
+To check the current speed of your processor(s), type:
+
+   cat /proc/cpuinfo  | grep MHz
+
+For example:
+
+    cat /proc/cpuinfo  | grep MHz
+    cpu MHz   : 1400.000
+    cpu MHz   : 1400.000
+    cpu MHz   : 1400.000
+    cpu MHz   : 1400.000
+    cpu MHz   : 1400.000
+    cpu MHz   : 1400.000
+    cpu MHz   : 3500.000
+    cpu MHz   : 3500.000
+
+Note above that only 2 cores are running at top speed (`3500.000`).
+While this may be a good use for power efficiency, it is not good for high performance servers such as LogZilla.
+
+### Running At Top Performance
+The Linux kernel provides 4 profiles, named CPU governors named `conservative`, `ondemand`,  `userspace`, and `powersave` performance 
+
+By default, Linux distributions set the `ondemand` governor. This governor is a good compromise between energy saving and performance-boosting as it adapts to the current CPU workload. Although, there are cases in which performance is heavily degraded on moderately loaded servers. We recommend using the `performance` governor instead.
+
+### Disabling SpeedStep/TurboBoost
+
+Setting the CPU governor may be done using the following function. This function can either be pasted directly into an SSH session or placed in a `.bash_aliases` file. Note that this will only work like the **root user**.
+
+```bash
+function setgov ()
+{
+    # usage:
+    # setgov ondemand
+    # setgov performance
+    echo "Current setting: $(cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor | sort -u)"
+    echo "Current CPU Speeds:"
+    cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep 'cpu MHz'
+    [[ -z $1 ]] && { echo "Missing argument (ondemand|performance)"; return 1; }
+    echo "$1" | tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor
+    echo "New CPU Speeds:"
+    cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep 'cpu MHz'
+}
+```
+
+Once the function is in your `.bash_aliases` file, simply type `source ~/.bash_aliases` to load it, then run `setgov`. This will return something similar to:
+
+```bash
+root@myserver: # setgov
+Current setting: ondemand
+Current CPU Speeds:
+cpu MHz		: 1400.000
+cpu MHz		: 2300.000
+cpu MHz		: 1400.000
+cpu MHz		: 3500.000
+cpu MHz		: 3500.000
+cpu MHz		: 1700.000
+cpu MHz		: 1400.000
+cpu MHz		: 2300.000
+Missing argument (ondemand|performance)
+```
+
+Running `setgov performance` will return something similar to:
+
+```bash
+root@myserver: # setgov performance
+Current setting: ondemand
+Current CPU Speeds:
+cpu MHz		: 2900.000
+cpu MHz		: 1400.000
+cpu MHz		: 1700.000
+cpu MHz		: 1400.000
+cpu MHz		: 1400.000
+cpu MHz		: 2300.000
+cpu MHz		: 3500.000
+cpu MHz		: 1400.000
+performance
+New CPU Speeds:
+cpu MHz		: 3500.000
+cpu MHz		: 3500.000
+cpu MHz		: 3500.000
+cpu MHz		: 3500.000
+cpu MHz		: 3500.000
+cpu MHz		: 3500.000
+cpu MHz		: 3500.000
+cpu MHz		: 3500.000
+```
+
+# Permanent Change
+
+The following commands (run **as root**) will permanently set the performance governor so that it keeps the setting after a reboot:
+
+    apt-get install cpufrequtils
+    echo 'GOVERNOR="performance"' >/etc/default/cpufrequtils 
+    service cpufrequtils reload
+
+The governor may be changed at any time by altering the `GOVERNOR` variable above and reloading cpufrequtils.
+
+>TurboBoost only runs when other CPU cores are throttled (down), due to each CPU's Thermal Design Power (TDP). This implies that enabling performance governor will have each core running exactly at nominal frequency, and never above.
+>TurboBoost depends on SpeedStep, thus disabling SpeedStep in BIOS will disable CPU throttling and TurboBoost

+* Create the Volume Group (this may already be on your server, so possibly optional):
+
+      volumeName="vg0"
+      partition=1 # this is the partition you created above with parted, be sure it matches!
+      vgcreate ${volumeName} ${disk}${partition}
+      lvcreate -l 100%FREE ${volumeName}
+
+* Create a filesystem on the new LVM volume
+
+      rootVol=$(lvdisplay | grep Path | grep root | awk '{print $3}')
+      # THE NEXT COMMAND WILL DESTROY DATA, BE SURE IT IS WHAT YOU WANT!
+      mkfs.ext4 ${rootVol}
+
+* Create an fstab entry
+>Replace ${rootVol} below with the actual volume name for your server.
+
+      /dev/mapper/${rootVol}/               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1
+
+During a new OS install, all of this is done for you when choosing the automatic option. However, be sure to select LVM as the type. LVM also allows you to add more disk and resize the root volume later without the need to reboot.
+
+Swap
+---
+* Disable it...always!
+
+>Swap was originally used to compensate for lack of Ram. Today's servers should have ample ram and, if not, will suffer severe performance degradation should the OS run low and need to swap to disk.
+
+If you find that your server is low on memory and *must* add swap, then be sure to set the swappiness, but also be sure to consider this a temporary fix while you place an order for more RAM from your vendor.
+
+We can see the current swappiness value by typing:
+
+      cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
+      60
+      
+For a Desktop, a swappiness setting of 60 is not a bad value. For a server, we'd want to move it closer to 0.
+
+We can set the swappiness to a different value by using the sysctl command.
+
+For instance, to set the swappiness to 10, type:
+
+      sysctl vm.swappiness=10
+      vm.swappiness = 10
+
+This setting will persist until the next reboot. You can set this value automatically at restart by adding the line to `/etc/sysctl.conf`:
+
+At the bottom, add `vm.swappiness=10`, then save and close the file when you are finished.
+
+Next, type `sysctl -p` to have the OS re-read the new settings.
+
+Another related value that may be useful is the `vfs_cache_pressure`. This setting configures how much the system will choose to cache inode and dentry information over other data.
+
+This is access data about the filesystem which is generally very costly to look up and is frequently requested. So it's an excellent thing for your system to cache. You can see the current value by querying the proc filesystem again:
+
+      cat /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure
+      100
+      
+As it is currently configured, our system removes inode information from the cache too quickly. We can set this to a more conservative setting such as `50` by typing:
+
+      sysctl vm.vfs_cache_pressure=50
+      vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 50
+      
+Again, this is only valid for our current session. We can change it by adding it to the sysctl.conf  file.
+
+      vi /etc/sysctl.conf
+      
+At the bottom, add the line that specifies your new value:
+
+      vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 50
+      
+Save and close the file when you are finished and type `sysctl -p` so that the changes get read.

+
+## LogZilla’s Syslog-ng Configuration
+
+LogZilla supports customization of its *syslog-ng* configuration.
+Although it is available, it is not recommended due to its complexity
+and the complications it may introduce to the LogZilla installation.
+
+There are two ways to customize the *syslog-ng* configuration:
+
+### Editing `/etc/logzilla/syslog-ng/config.yaml`
+
+This is a *yaml* file, and it is used to generate main config for the syslog-ng
+container. 
+
+It contains some generic settings, and list of sources and destinations. Many
+of the values are automatically generated by LogZilla (often based on the
+`logzilla config` settings) and should not be modified, but there are some
+parts that can be customized.
+
+The only generic setting that can be customized is `extra_log_rules`. This
+contains a string, that will be put in the `log` section of the main syslog
+config, between list of sources and list of destinations. This can be used to
+add some extra filters or rewrites - in conjunction with adding extra files
+(defining these filter or rewrites) in `/etc/logzilla/syslog-ng/conf.d`
+directory.
+
+#### Destinations
+
+Only two types of destination are supported, first is `logzilla`, which is
+dedicated for sending events to LogZilla, and probably you should not change or
+add anything of this type.
+
+The second type is `file`, which can be used for writing events to a file, and
+you can use it for your own purposes, in particular with some templates and
+filters defined in `/etc/logzilla/syslog-ng/conf.d` directory.
+
+If you just want to dump all events to a file, you can use configuration
+options as described in [Debugging Event Reception](/help/receiving_data/debugging_event_reception#set-logzillas-syslog-container-to-debug-mode).
+
+For each destination you should define following fields:
+- `name` - name of the destination, this is used in the main config and should
+  be unique for each destination
+- `enabled` - boolean value, if set to `True` then this destination will be
+  used, otherwise it will be ignored
+- `type` - type of the destination, in our case `file`
+- `path` - path to the file, remember this is path inside container, so usually
+  you'd want to use something in `/var/log/logzilla` directory as it is mounted
+  from the host
+- `template` - template defining how to format each event, usually this
+  requires defining your own template in some file in the 
+  `/etc/logzilla/syslog-ng/conf.d` - remember that when defining own templates,
+  they should be named with `t_logzilla_` prefix, which is automatically added
+  to the name defined in this field.
+  
+  You can use also one of the predefined templates:
+  - `json` - formats event as JSON object
+  - `debug_tsv` - dump only timestamp, name of the source and original message
+    in tab-separated format
+  - `pci_tsv` - dump only original message
+
+#### Sources
+
+This can be a bit more useful for customization, as you can define your own
+ports and dedicate it to particular sources. With a special directive you can
+assign some tags to events coming from this source, and then use this tag to
+optimize parsing of these events in rules and apps.
+
+Standard ports are provided by default configuration which should not be
+changed - these are:
+
+- `bsd` - tcp on port 514 (or other defined by config SYSLOG_BSD_TCP_PORT),
+    for BSD-style syslog messages
+- `bsd_udp` - udp on port 514 (or other defined by config SYSLOG_BSD_UDP_PORT),
+    for BSD-style syslog messages using UDP
+- `rfc5424` - tcp on port 601 (or other defined by config SYSLOG_RFC5424_PORT),
+    for RFC5424-style syslog messages
+- `json` - tcp on port 515 (or other defind by config SYSLOG_JSON_PORT),
+    for sending raw JSON messages (newline separated) with a TCP connection.
+- `tls` - tcp on port 6514 (or other defined by config SYSLOG_TLS_PORT),
+    it's the same as rfc5424, but with TLS encryption
+- `raw` - tcp on port 516 (or other defined by config SYSLOG_RAW_PORT),
+    for sources not complying to the syslog standard, here no parsing is
+    performed and the raw message is sent to LogZilla as is.
+- `raw_udp` - udp on port 516 (or other defined by config SYSLOG_RAW_UDP_PORT),
+    same as raw - without parsing, message is sent to LogZilla as is.
+
+User can define any extra ports by adding new entries to the `sources` array,
+each definition should contain following fields:
+- `name` - name of the source, this is used in the main config and should
+    be unique for each destination
+- `enabled` - boolean value, if set to `True` then this source will be
+    used, otherwise it will be ignored
+- `type` - type of the source, two values are supported, `network` and
+    `syslog`, see syslog-ng documentation for more details on these
+- `port` - port number to listen on
+- `transport` - transport protocol, `tcp` or `udp` (`tcp` is default), also
+    `tls` can be specified for TLS-encrypted TCP connection
+- `tls_cert_file` - path to the certificate file, this is used only when
+    `transport` is set to `tls`
+- `tls_key_file` - path to the key file, this is used only when `transport`
+    is set to `tls`
+- `flags` - list of flags which are passed to syslog-ng, see syslog-ng
+    documentation for more details
+- `program_override` - here you can specify name that will be set to the
+    `program` field of the event
+- `extra_fields` - this is dictionary (object) with key-value pairs that
+    will be added to the event's extra_fields dictionary
+- `source_tag` - this is a string, which can be used to specify a tag that will
+  be added to all events (in the `extra_fields._source_tag`) that are received
+  from this source. This can be used to optimize parsing of these events in
+  some apps - as for the version 6.32 this is used in the vmware app.
+
+### Defining `source_tag` in sources
+
+Starting from version 6.32, you can optimize parsing of these events by
+enabling dedicated source for some apps. If any of the LUA rules defines
+`SOURCE_FILTER` variable in its body, **and** there's a source with
+`source_tag` set to that value, then this rule will be applied only to events
+from this source.
+
+For example - if you enable SYSLOG_VMWARE_PORT by setting it to any port number
+greater then 0, it will be automatically added to the list of sources with a
+`source_tag` set to `vmware`. Then only events from this port will be parsed by vmware app.
+
+Please note, that filtering works only if there's a source with `source_tag`
+with a corresponding value - so if you install vmware app, but you don't have a
+dedicated source for vmware events, then all events will be parsed by the app
+(which can results in significant performance degradation).
+
+If you need some custom dedicated sources (e.g. for your custom rules/apps),
+then remember to add your source tag to the `DEDICATED_SOURCES` configuration
+option (with `logzilla config DEDICATED_SOURCES` command line), so the parser
+will know that only events with this tag should be parsed by the app. For the
+VMWare app this setting is extended automatically with "vmware" if you enable
+`SYSLOG_VMWARE_PORT`.
+
+### Adding extra files in `/etc/logzilla/syslog-ng/conf.d` directory
+
+For more complex cases you can add any `*.conf` files in this directory, and
+they will be included in the main config. This can be used to add some extra
+*syslog-ng* *sources*, *destinations*, *filters*, or *rewrite rules*. To
+accomplish this:
+
+1.  Create a `xxx.conf` file (where `xxx` is the desired name) in the
+    `/etc/logzilla/syslog-ng/conf.d` directory. (More than one of these
+    files can be created, as desired, and they can all take effect.)
+2.  Add configuration directives appropriate for *source*,
+    *destination*, *filter*, or *rewrite rule* to the new `xxx.conf`
+    file. These should follow standard *syslog-ng* syntax (more
+    information can be found at [syslog-ng Open Source Edition 3.22 -
+    Administration
+    Guide](https://www.syslog-ng.com/technical-documents/doc/syslog-ng-open-source-edition/3.22/administration-guide/12)).
+3.  **Important**: Custom `log` entries should **not** be created or
+    configured. It is required that the `log` section be modified only
+    by LogZilla, or LogZilla may cease receiving events.
+
+If `log` customization is desired, such as adding new *filters* or
+*rewrites*, then see below for detailed instructions.
+
+For the basic cases, like adding new destinations or sources, adding a
+file in `conf.d` is enough. All sources and destinations defined in
+these files will be implicitly added to the main config. If this is all
+you need, then restart syslog-ng as described below.
+
+For some advanced cases, like when you want to add some extra filters,
+then `/etc/logzilla/syslog-ng/config.yaml` should be modified. In particular,
+if extra *syslog-ng* configuration directives are needed, they should be
+added to the `extra_log_rules` entry in this file.
+
+### Custom Configuration Example
+
+In this example, a special source reading from an MQTT broker will be
+added. In addition, these log messages will be filtered such that the
+only log messages handled are those from host `1.2.3.4`.
+
+First, create the file `/etc/logzilla/syslog-ng/conf.d/mqtt.conf` with
+the following content:
+
+    source s_mqtt {
+        mqtt(
+            address("tcp://my-mqtt-server:4444")
+            topic("test/abc")
+        );
+    };
+
+    filter f_host_1234 {
+        host("1.2.3.4");
+    };
+
+As we want to also add some extra filters, we need to modify the *yaml*
+configuration file `/etc/logzilla/syslog-ng/config.yaml`.
+
+Find the `extra_log_rules` setting (it’s an empty string by default) and
+update it:
+
+    extra_log_rules: "filter(f_host_1234);"
+
+### Restarting syslog-ng after changes
+
+After any changes are made to the *syslog-ng* configuration, LogZilla’s
+*syslog-ng* module must be restarted. This can be accomplished via
+`logzilla restart -c syslog`. If proper operation is not observed or for
+more information, the *syslog-ng* operation logs can

+# Cisco IOS Commands
+Configuring a Cisco IOS device for Syslog involves more than just defining the actual Syslog destination receiver. Each device must be configured to include the proper `timestamp` information, `time zone`, a `logging source`, the `console buffer size`, the `logging level`, and `NTP`.
+
+## Sample IOS Configuration
+
+>LogZilla uses UTC0 time on the server itself. However, the user's browser will display in their local time. All incoming events will be marked with the time **of the LogZilla server** and not the timestamp from the originating device. This eliminates the chance of a misconfigured device sending the wrong time in the syslog packet causing the event to be stored incorrectly.
+
+    service timestamps debug datetime localtime show-timezone
+    service timestamps log datetime localtime show-timezone
+    clock timezone GMT 0
+    !
+    logging source-interface loopback0
+    logging buffered 65536
+    logging host <ip address 1>
+    logging host <ip address 2>
+    logging trap informational
+    !
+    ntp server <ip address 4>
+    ntp server <ip address 5>
+    ntp peer <ip address 6>
+    ntp peer <ip address 7>
+    ntp update-calendar
+
+## Configuration Command Detail
+
+### Timestamps
+
+    service timestamps debug datetime localtime show-timezone
+    service timestamps log datetime localtime show-timezone
+    clock timezone GMT 0
+
+Timestamps may be added to either `debugging` or `logging` messages independently.
+
+BAD: The `uptime` form of the command adds timestamps in the format `HHHH:MM:SS`, indicating the time since the system was rebooted.
+
+GOOD: The `datetime` form of the command adds timestamps in the format `MMM DD HH:MM:SS`, indicating the date and time according to the system clock.
+Adding a timestamp to messages allows you to tell what time the message was generated rather than a message indicating how long the device has been powered up.
+
+The `show-timezone` form of the command adds a TZ to the incoming message.
+
+**<font color="red">IMPORTANT:</font>**
+
+On some Cisco IOS versions, it is **imperative** that this portion of the command is included. Without it, the syslog daemon may detect your device's hostname as a `:` instead of the actual hostname.
+
+
+For example:
+
+
+**Hostname Missing**
+
+
+```
+0    :    189    UTC    %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by user1 on vty3 (192.168.2.207)
+```
+
+**Correct Hostname**
+
+
+```
+0    192.168.2.252    189    UTC    %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by user1 on vty3 (192.168.2.207)
+```
+
+
+
+### Logging
+
+    logging source-interface loopback0
+    logging buffered 65536
+    logging host <ip address 1>
+    logging host <ip address 2>
+    logging trap informational
+
+The `logging source-interface` command instructs the system to generate messages to the remote system from the defined source interface. This ensures that all messages appear to come from the same IP across reboots and makes it easier to track in the destination syslog receiver. This also allows you to create a DNS entry for that source interface.
+> If the `logging source-interface` command is **not** used and the system reloads, the first IP that comes up will be used, this will result in LogZilla assuming it is an entirely different device.
+
+The `logging buffered` command is used to reserve a memory buffer for logging to the console of the device.  The typical recommendation is to have `256K` buffers on core devices and `64K` elsewhere.
+> `console buffer` refers to the output of the screen when attached to the device either by serial or via telnet/ssh using the "Terminal Monitor" command. The `console buffer` command has no effect on sending syslogs to remote destinations.
+
+The `logging host` command specifies the remote LogZilla server to send messages to.
+>Network devices should be configured with a maximum of four syslog destinations. The remote syslog server can then be configured to forward messages to other network management systems if more than four IP addresses are required. This reduces the changes needed on network devices.
+>Devices should be set to log severities `0-6` for normal operation and `0-7` while connected directly to the device's console.
+
+The `logging trap informational` command tells the device to log all messages of severity 0-6 to the LogZilla server.
+> The `trap` portion of this command should not be confused with SNMP traps, it is simply the command used to indicate which severity levels to send and has nothing to do with SNMP.

+# No Events In LogZilla
+If LogZilla is showing no events from other systems there are several ways to 
+determine the cause.
+
+## Check the log
+
+Check LogZilla's internal log file using:
+
+```sh
+sudo tail -f /var/log/logzilla/logzilla.log
+```
+
+## Verify that the source is sending
+
+`tcpdump` can be used on the LogZilla server to determine if the remote host's 
+events are reaching the LogZilla server.
+
+If your source device/app is not sending to `udp port 514`, then change the 
+line below to accommodate:
+
+```sh
+sudo tcpdump -vvv -i $(awk '$2 == 00000000 { print $1 }' /proc/net/route) udp port 514.
+```
+
+This will listen on the ethernet interface assigned to the default gateway for 
+incoming events on `udp port 514` (the default for UDP syslog events).
+
+Note that if the LogZilla server's appropriate ethernet interface or the 
+configured listening port is different than shown, those parameters for `tcpdump` 
+above should be changed accordingly.
+
+For example:
+
+- `-i` (used below) manually specifies the interface to use instead of the 
+default gateway in the example above.
+
+```sh
+sudo tcpdump -vvv -i p1p1 udp port 514
+```
+
+After running the command, you will see data similar to:
+
+```sh
+tcpdump: listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes 17:01:01.955523 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 44193, offset 0, flags [DF], proto UDP  (17), length 272) 25.92.104.22.57053 > logzilla.myserver.com.syslog: [udp sum ok] SYSLOG, length: 244 Facility kernel (0), Severity warning (4) Msg: Sep  3 13:01:02 www kernel: [UFW BLOCK] IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=01:22:33:02:e5:01:44:c5:9c:f9:18:30:08:00 SRC=191.168.1.2 DST=10.2.1.6 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=44 ID=65267 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=41410 DPT=22 WINDOW=14600 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 \0x0a0x0000:  3c34 3e53 6570 2
+```
+
+## Set LogZilla's syslog container to Debug Mode
+
+Once you have verified that events are being received as noted above, try 
+enabling debug mode on the **lz_syslog** container by issuing the following 
+command at the shell prompt:
+
+```sh
+sudo docker exec -it lz_syslog bash -c 'syslog-ng-ctl debug --set=on'
+sudo docker logs lz_syslog --tail 100 -f
+```
+
+<font color="red">WARNING:</font> Debug mode should be disabled once you are 
+finished checking the output:
+
+```sh
+sudo docker exec -it lz_syslog bash -c 'syslog-ng-ctl debug --set=off'
+```
+
+If this indicates that events are being received but are still not appearing in 
+LogZilla, the next step is to verify that the syslog container is processing 
+them properly.
+
+# Log to a debug file
+
+Enable syslog debug to file using:
+
+```sh
+sudo logzilla config syslog_debug 1
+```
+
+> Once troubleshooting is complete, debug logging should be disabled, since it
+generates extra load on the syslog process and can quickly fill up disk: 
+`logzilla config syslog_debug 0`.
+
+All raw log events will be logged to `/var/log/logzilla/syslog/debug.log`
+
+<font color="red">WARNING:</font> Leaving raw debug log enabled can fill your 
+disk. Be sure to disable it once you are finished troubleshooting.
+
+View the logs using:
+
+```
+sudo tail -F /var/log/logzilla/syslog/debug.log
+```
+
+This should indicate entries coming in. If not, a sample log can be generated 
+locally by:
+
+```
+sudo logger -T -P 514 --rfc3164 -n localhost -p local0.emerg -t "test" "rfc3164 
+event test on TCP Port 514 from $(hostname)"
+sudo logger -u -P 514 --rfc3164 -n localhost -p local0.emerg -t "test" "rfc3164 
+event test on UDP Port 514 from $(hostname)"
+```
+
+Any errors displayed will help narrow down any communication issues.
+
+For more diagnostics, there is also another log file generated when syslog 
+debugging is on. This file is located in `/var/log/logzilla/syslog/debug-json.log`.
+It contains a JSON document for each line with details of the events received 
+and initially processed by syslog.
+
+The JSON-based log can be enabled using:
+
+```sh
+sudo logzilla config syslog_debug_json 1
+```
+
+> Once troubleshooting is complete, debug logging should be disabled, since it 
+generates extra load on the syslog process and can quickly fill up disk: 
+`logzilla config syslog_debug_json 0`.
+
+# Raw Tcpdump Capture
+
+If LogZilla is still showing no received events, support is available at 
+https://support.logzilla.net. Please include the output from the following 
+command:
+
+1. Ensure that the host sending events is sending to LogZilla on `udp port 514`. 
+Otherwise, our support team has no way to replay your network environment in the lab.
+2. Run the command below to capture a sample of your incoming event stream.
+
+Note: Change `-G 10800` below to a larger number if your LogZilla server doesn't 
+normally receive a large amount of events. Ideally, you want to capture a large 
+enough window to ensure that the event(s) in question can be captured.
+
+```
+# "10800" below equates to 3 hours
+# "86400" would be 24 hours
+# In some cases, support may ask that you capture an entire day's worth in 
+order to have a proper sample of event data
+
+tcpdump -i $(awk '$2 == 00000000 { print $1 }' /proc/net/route) \
+ "udp port 514 or (ip[6:2] & 0x1fff) != 0" \
+ -nnvvXSs 0 -G 10800 -W 1 -z gzip -w /tmp/$(hostname).pcap

+
+3. After 3 hours (or the time specified above in the `-G 10800` portion), the 
+capture will automatically stop and place a `.gz` file in `/tmp/` with the

+# Syslog Relays
+
+As noted in [Syslog Basics](/help/administration/syslog_basics), relays
+are used to forward events from other sources to another server that needs
+to receive those logs (like LogZilla).
+
+Relays serve several important purposes in a log management infrastructure:
+
+- Provide a local collection point for network segments
+- Reduce network traffic across WAN connections by aggregating logs
+- Add an additional layer of reliability to your logging infrastructure
+- Filter events before forwarding them to your main log server
+
+## Traditional Syslog Relays
+
+### Syslog-ng
+
+If your relay host uses syslog-ng, the following file may be used to forward
+events to LogZilla.
+
+```text
+# This is for your *relay* server (not the LogZilla server)
+# filename: /etc/syslog-ng/conf.d/logzilla-relay.conf
+ 
+#Global Options
+options {
+  flush_lines(100);
+  threaded(yes);
+  use_dns(yes);
+  use_fqdn (no);
+  keep_hostname (yes);
+  dns-cache-size(2000);
+  dns-cache-expire(87600);
+};
+ 
+source s_network {
+ 
+# port 514 (tcp) is used for RFC3164 formatted events coming in (standard BSD-style logs)
+  network(
+      transport("tcp")
+      port(514)
+  );
+ 
+# port 514 (udp) is used for RFC3164 formatted events coming in (standard BSD-style logs)
+  network(
+      transport("udp")
+      so_rcvbuf(1048576)
+      flags("no-multi-line")
+      port(514)
+  );
+ 
+destination d_logzilla {
+  network(
+    "<IP OR HOSTNAME OF LZ SERVER>"
+    port(514)
+    transport(tcp)
+  );
+};
+ 
+log {
+    source(s_logzilla);
+    # disable s_src if you don't want local server events
+    source(s_src);
+    source(s_network);
+    destination(d_logzilla);
+    flags(flow-control);
+};
+```
+
+### Rsyslog
+
+There are primarily two formats used for the syslog protocol. Users may
+configure either RFC-3164-based forwarding or RFC-5424-based forwarding
+from their rsyslog relays.
+
+#### RFC 3164 (default)
+
+To forward logs to LogZilla using the standard format, create a file in
+`/etc/rsyslog.d/` using a `.conf` extension (i.e. `20-logzilla.conf`).
+This is the *config* file. Place the following line in that file:
+
+```text
+*.*   action(type="omfwd" Target="${logzillaIP}" Port="514" Protocol="tcp")
+```
+
+Replace `${logzillaIP}` with the IP Address (or resolvable name) of your
+LogZilla server.
+
+After adding the new config file run:
+
+```text
+service rsyslog restart
+```
+
+#### RFC 5424
+
+To send messages using the RFC 5424 method, replace content of the config
+file with:
+
+```text
+*.*   action(type="omfwd" Target="${logzillaIP}" Port="514" Protocol="tcp"
+             Template="RSYSLOG_SyslogProtocol23Format")
+```
+
+#### Multiline logs
+
+If your logs contain multiple lines (the messages have embedded *newlines*),
+then use RFC5424 protocol but also add `TCP_Framing="octet-counted"` to the
+*action* above. The configuration would then look like this:
+
+```text
+*.*   action(type="omfwd" Target="${logzillaIP}" Port="514" Protocol="tcp"
+             Template="RSYSLOG_SyslogProtocol23Format" TCP_Framing="octet-counted")
+```
+
+As an example, to read multiline events from the Tomcat log file this
+configuration could be used:
+
+```text
+input(type="imfile"
+    File="/var/log/tomcat.log"
+    Tag="applog"
+    Severity="info"
+    escapeLF="off"
+    startmsg.regex="^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}T[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2},"
+)
+```
+
+## Secure Relay Communication with TLS/SSL
+
+For environments requiring secure log transmission, both syslog-ng and
+rsyslog support TLS/SSL encryption.
+
+### Syslog-ng with TLS
+
+Add the following destination to your syslog-ng relay configuration:
+
+```text
+destination d_logzilla_tls {
+  network(
+    "<IP OR HOSTNAME OF LZ SERVER>"
+    port(443)
+    transport(tls)
+    tls(
+      ca_dir("/etc/syslog-ng/ca.d")
+      key_file("/etc/syslog-ng/key.d/relay-key.pem")
+      cert_file("/etc/syslog-ng/cert.d/relay-cert.pem")
+    )
+  );
+};
+```
+
+Update your log path to use this destination for secure forwarding.
+
+## HTTP/HTTPS Relay Option
+
+As an alternative to traditional syslog forwarding, you can configure
+syslog-ng to forward logs to LogZilla over HTTP/HTTPS. This approach
+provides several advantages:
+
+- Web-friendly transmission allowing logs to traverse firewalls
+- Authentication via tokens
+- Structured data in JSON format
+- Better handling of metadata via user tags
+
+For detailed setup instructions, refer to
+[Syslog-ng HTTPS setup](https://docs.logzilla.net/07_Receiving_Data/14_Syslogng_HTTP_Receiver/).
+
+### Rsyslog with TLS
+
+For rsyslog, create a configuration with TLS support:
+
+```text
+$DefaultNetstreamDriver gtls
+$DefaultNetstreamDriverCAFile /etc/rsyslog.d/keys/ca.pem
+$DefaultNetstreamDriverCertFile /etc/rsyslog.d/keys/client-cert.pem
+$DefaultNetstreamDriverKeyFile /etc/rsyslog.d/keys/client-key.pem
+
+$ActionSendStreamDriverAuthMode x509/name
+$ActionSendStreamDriverPermittedPeer <SERVER_NAME>
+$ActionSendStreamDriverMode 1
+
+*.* action(type="omfwd" Target="${logzillaIP}" Port="443" Protocol="tcp")
+```
+
+## LogZilla as a Relay (Forwarding Module)
+
+LogZilla itself can act as a relay, forwarding events to other systems such as:
+
+- Other syslog servers
+- Splunk via HTTP Event Collector
+- SNMP trap receivers
+- Local files
+
+This functionality lets you use LogZilla for event processing, deduplication,
+and correlation while still forwarding selected events to other systems for
+additional analysis.
+
+For configuration details, see
+[Downstream Syslog Receivers](https://docs.logzilla.net/07_Receiving_Data/15_Downstream_Syslog_Receivers/).
+
+## Relay Best Practices
+
+For optimal relay performance and reliability, follow these guidelines:
+
+1. **Use TCP instead of UDP** whenever possible for better reliability.
+
+2. **Implement proper load balancing** for high-volume environments by setting
+up multiple relays.
+
+3. **Configure disk buffering** on relays to prevent message loss during
+network outages:
+
+   ```text
+   # For syslog-ng
+   destination d_logzilla {
+     network(
+       "<IP OR HOSTNAME OF LZ SERVER>"
+       port(80)
+       transport(tcp)
+       disk-buffer(
+         mem-buf-size(10000)
+         disk-buf-size(2000000)
+         reliable(yes)
+       )
+     );
+   };
+   ```
+
+4. **Monitor relay performance** to ensure logs are flowing properly and the
+relay is not becoming a bottleneck.
+
+5. **Include identifying information** in forwarded messages to track which
+relay processed each event:
+
+   ```text
+   # For syslog-ng
+   rewrite r_add_relay_info {
+     set("relay-server-1", value("relay_id"));
+   };
+   ```
+
+6. **Apply initial filtering at the relay level** to reduce unnecessary traffic
+to your central LogZilla server.
+
+7. **For WAN connections**, implement both local and remote relays to ensure
+reliable log delivery across unreliable networks.
+

+LogZilla Corporation does not provide support for products outside of our own
+software.

+
+Windows Agent
+========
+
+Windows does not natively send syslog events and has no way to convey Windows events to LogZilla. As a result, users must install a small "agent" which will send Windows events to LogZilla. Many of the agents available on the internet are not viable for communicating with LogZilla, for various reasons such as not supporting RFC5424 or TCP. In addition, any use of RFC3164 by an agent would result in some events being truncated because the RFC standard for 3164 states that messages may be no larger than 1KB.
+
+As a result, LogZilla Corp. provides a tool that will send Windows events to Logzilla and is free to use. (This tool is called the "LogZilla Syslog Agent" because it fulfills the role of *syslog* for the Windows environment.)
+
+
+# Introduction
+
+LogZilla NEO Windows Eventlog to LogZilla
+
+The LogZilla Syslog Agent is a very lightweight Windows service that sends Windows event log messages to LogZilla.  It is similar in function to the *syslog* process for a Linux environment.  It watches for new events being written to the Windows event logs and forwards those events to LogZilla.
+
+<a href="https://github.com/logzilla/extras/tree/master/winagent" target="_blank">Download Here</a>
+
+# Features
+
+The LogZilla Syslog Agent has the following features:
+
+- support of TLS (for the connection to LogZilla)
+- forwarding events to a secondary server in addition to the primary
+- selection of which Windows event logs are of interest
+- specification of the desired event log polling interval
+- specification of Windows events (by event number) that are to be ignored
+- lookup of account names (as referenced by events)
+- selection of (*syslog*-equivalent) `facility` and `severity` (for use in LogZilla)
+- adding arbitrary JSON data to the event message (for example to distinguish one instance of the agent from another instance of the agent running on a different computer)
+- simple GUI configuration
+
+In addition to its primary function of forwarding Windows events to LogZilla, the agent has a secondary function of "watching" a text file and forwarding new lines written to that file as events to LogZilla (this is similar to the "tail" utility in Linux).
+
+# History
+
+Parts of this Syslog Agent are based on the Datagram Syslog Agent, which in turn was based on SaberNet's NTSyslog. The bulk of the work is Copyright © 2021 by Logzilla Corporation. The original agents were minimal in function (for example, supporting only RFC3164 over UDP). The LogZilla development team has substantially rewritten the original source agents in order to supply the features listed above.
+
+# Prerequisites
+
+The Syslog Agent UI Configuration tool, `SyslogAgentConfig.exe`, requires .NET Framework 4.6.2 or later. The Syslog Agent service itself, `SyslogAgent.exe`, has no prerequisites.
+
+# Installation and Configuration
+
+1. Run the `.msi` installer file downloaded from GitHub.
+2. The installer creates the path and subfolder (`C:\Program Files\LogZilla\SyslogAgent`) and places the all files needed in that folder.
+3. The user manual (named `LogZillaSyslogAgentManual.pdf`) will also be placed in that directory.  It may be examined using any *PDF* reader application.
+4. Run the agent configuration program (`SyslogAgentConfig.exe`) either from the newly created shortcut on the desktop, or by double-clicking that file from Windows File Explorer.  This program must be run as *administrator*.
+5. Set the options as desired.  The options are explained below.  At minimum, the *Primary LogZilla server* address should be set appropriately for your environment.
+6. Once the options have been configured, click the **Save** and **Restart** buttons at the bottom
+
+##### Screenshot: Agent Configuration
+![Screenshot](@@path/images/agent_config.png)
+
+# Configuration Details
+
+## Running the Configuration Application
+The operation of the Syslog Agent service is controlled by registry settings.  These can be maintained with the Syslog Agent configuration program, `SyslogAgentConfig.exe`. Please note that this program must be run as administrator.
+
+Although the installer will automatically attempt to set the option, some windows systems may require you to Right-click and `Run as administrator` (depending on the security settings in place on the system/OS version being used).
+
+You may also change the advanced settings of the executable to always "run as administrator" by selecting the `syslogagentconfig.exe` file, then right-click and choose `advanced` and tick the box labeled `always run as administrator`
+
+## Configuration Settings
+
+_Servers_
+
+The address and port for the primary Syslog server, and optionally for a secondary server can be 
+entered.  The address can be either a hostname or an IP address. 
+
+_Secondary LogZilla server_
+
+There is an option to send messages to a secondary LogZilla server.  If selected every message 
+successfully sent to the primary server will also be sent to the secondary server. 
+  
+_Primary / Secondary Use TLS_
+
+This option is to use TLS to send messages to one or both LogZilla servers.  If selected every 
+message sent to the primary or secondary server will use TLS for the communications link. 
+
+_Select Primary / Secondary Cert_
+
+These buttons are used to select (PEM format) certificate files for the TLS communications to the 
+primary or secondary server.  When the button is clicked a window will pop up allowing selection of the 
+file from which the cert is to be read.  Please note that once the cert is read and imported (using the 
+button) that certificate information is copied into the LogZilla settings and the source cert file is no 
+longer used.  If desired the cert information that LogZilla uses can be directly edited in the files 
+`primary.cert` and `secondary.cert` in the LogZilla directory. 
+
+_Event Logs_
+
+A list of all event logs on the local system is displayed.  Messages in the event logs that are checked will 
+be sent to the server.
+
+_Poll Interval_
+
+This is the number of seconds between each time the event logs are read to check for new messages to 
+send. 
+
+_Ignore Event Ids_
+
+To reduce the volume of messages sent, it is possible to ignore certain event ids.  This is entered as a 
+comma-separated list of event id numbers. 
+
+_Look up Account IDs_
+
+Looking up the domain and user name of the account that generated a message can be expensive, as it 
+may involve a call to a domain server, if the account is not local.  To improve performance, this look-up 
+can be disabled and messages will be sent to the server without any account information. 
+
+_Include key-value pairs_ 
+
+To aid parsing on the syslog server, the message content is enhanced by appending the following key-
+value pairs: 
+
+* "event_id" : "nnnn" contains the Windows event id 
+* "_source_type" : "WindowsAgent" identifies this program as the sender of the message 
+* "S1": "xxx", "S2": "xxx", ... contain the substitution strings, if any.
+
+_Facility_
+
+The selected facility is included in all messages sent. 
+
+_Severity_
+
+By selecting 'Dynamic', the severity for each message is determined from the Windows event log type.  
+Otherwise, the selected severity is included in all messages sent. 
+
+_Suffix_
+
+The suffix is an optional set of key/value pairs that is appended to all messages sent. 
+
+_Log Level_
+
+This configures the "level" of log messages produced by the Syslog Agent.  The "level" means the type or 
+importance of a given message.  Any given log level will produce messages at that level and those levels 
+that are more important.  For example, if "RECOVERABLE" is chosen, the Syslog Agent will also produce 
+log messages of levels "FATAL" and "CRITICAL".  Logging is optional, so this can be left set to "None".   
+
+_Log File Name_
+
+This configures the path and name of the file to which log messages will be saved.   If a path and 
+directory are specified that specific combination will be used for the log file, otherwise the log file will be 
+saved in the directory with the SyslogAgent.exe file.  If log level is set to "None" this will be blank.   
+
+_File Watcher (tail)_
+
+The agent has the capability to "tail" a specified text file – this means that the agent will continually read 
+the end of the given text file and send each new line that is appended to that text file as a separate 
+message to the LogZilla server.  A program name should be specified here to indicate the source of 
+those log messages. 
+
+
+# Protocols
+
+Messages are delivered to the LogZilla server via `TCP` to port 515 on the LogZilla server.  Please make sure any firewalls and other network communications links are configured to allow this.
+
+# LogZilla Rules for Windows Events
+
+In order for LogZilla to handle and process event messages coming from the LogZilla Syslog Agent, the "MS Windows" appstore app should be installed in LogZilla through the *Settings* page.  Once that app has been installed in LogZilla the event messages coming from the agent should be fully visible using the LogZilla UI.

+
+Logging Java Events
+---
+
+On many systems, Java may not be configured properly to send events to a syslog server (or to send to syslog at all). log4j is the typical method used for sending events, but the format is usually quite poor. To fix this, users must edit their `log4j.properties` file on the sending host.
+
+
+# Examples
+
+The example below uses Jira, a DevOps tool created by [Atlassian](https://www.atlassian.com). The same settings used below can be used on any `log4j`-based software.
+
+In this example, it is assumed that Jira is installed at `/opt/atlassian/jira/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties`.
+
+In Ubuntu, typing `locate log4j.properties` will help find the file.
+
+Once `log4j.properties` is located, open it and find the line similar to:
+
+```
+log4j.rootLogger=WARN, console, filelog
+```
+And append `, SYSLOG`, e.g.:
+
+```
+log4j.rootLogger=WARN, console, filelog, SYSLOG
+```
+Next, at the bottom of the file, append the following lines and replace `<IP_ADDRESS>` with the IP Address of your LogZilla server.
+
+```
+log4j.appender.SYSLOG.threshold=INFO
+log4j.appender.SYSLOG=org.apache.log4j.net.SyslogAppender
+log4j.appender.SYSLOG.syslogHost=<IP_ADDRESS>
+log4j.appender.SYSLOG.layout=org.apache.log4j.EnhancedPatternLayout
+log4j.appender.SYSLOG.Header=true
+log4j.appender.SYSLOG.layout.ConversionPattern=java %m - threadName=%t className=%C{1} methodName=%M{3}%n
+log4j.appender.SYSLOG.Facility=LOCAL0
+```
+
+You may need to restart your Java application before it will begin sending syslog events to LogZilla.
+
+
+
+
+# Fun With Rewrites
+
+LogZilla's rewrite capability along with user tags (metadata extraction) allows for transformation of thread names as well as setting the program name to something less generic than `Java`.
+
+Example rewrite rule:
+
+
+```yaml
+rewrite_rules:
+- comment: transform java thread to program name containing `localhost`
+  match:
+    field: message
+    op: "=~"
+    value: "(.+) - threadName=localhost-([a-z]+).* className=(.+) methodName=(.+)"
+  rewrite:
+    message: "$1 - threadName=$2 className=$3 methodName=$4"
+- comment: Rewrite Java Events
+  match:
+  - value: java
+    field: program
+  - field: message
+    op: "=~"
+    value: "(.+) - threadName=([a-z]+).* className=(.+) methodName=(.+)"
+  rewrite:
+    program: Java-$2
+    message: "$1"
+  tag:
+    Java ClassNames: "$3"
+    Java MethodNames: "$4"
+```
+
+To activate the above rule, save the above contents into a file (such as `300-java-rule.json`) then do `logzilla rules add 300-java-rule.json`.  Now if you do `logzilla rules list` you should see:
+```
+Name                      Source           Type    Status    Errors
+------------------------  ---------------  ------  --------  --------
+...
+300-java-rule             user             parser  enabled   -
+...
+```
+
+# Result
+
+By using the rule above, the UI will now provide widgets such as:
+
+**Class and Method Categories**
+![Class and Method Names](@@path/images/log4j-widgets.png)
+![Widget Config](@@path/images/java-widget-settings.png)

+
+Juniper devices should be configured to send logs in [RFC5424](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5424.txt) `structured-data` format, also known as key=value pairs, rather than the older [RFC3164](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3164.txt) "syslog" (a.k.a. BSD) style format.

+nginx must be configured both with the correct log format as well as the correct log destination.  Verify that `include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;` is in the `http {` section of `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf`, and add it if it is not already there.
+
+Then the following should be put in file `/etc/nginx/conf.d/logging.conf`.
+
+
+```
+# LogZilla Custom Log Format
+# Requires Nginx >= v1.7.1
+
+log_format logzilla 'Site="$server_name" Server="$host" DstPort="$server_port" '
+               'DstIP="$server_addr" Src="$remote_addr" SrcIP="$realip_remote_addr" '
+               'User="$remote_user" Time_Local="$time_local" Protocol="$server_protocol" '
+               'Status="$status" Bytes_Out="$bytes_sent" '
+               'Bytes_In="$upstream_bytes_received" HTTP_Referrer="$http_referer" '
+               'User_Agent="$http_user_agent" Nginx_Version="$nginx_version" '
+               'HTTP_X_Forwarded_For="$http_x_forwarded_for" '
+               'HTTP_X_Header="$http_x_header" URI_Query="$query_string" URI="$uri" '
+               'HTTP_Method="$request_method" Response_Time="$upstream_response_time" '
+               'Cookie="$http_cookie" Request_Time="$request_time" ';
+
+  # Send logs to LogZilla Server
+  access_log syslog:server=logzilla.abcd.com:514,tag=nginx_access logzilla;
+  error_log syslog:server=logzilla.abcd.com:514,tag=nginx_error notice;
+```
+
+Next, the nginx LogZilla rule must be installed. This rule is available from the LogZilla *appstore*.  The rule is installed by going to `Settings -> App store` in the LogZilla UI.
+
+Add the *Nginx* app to enable the rule.
+
+![Install Nginx appstore app](@@path/images/install-nginx-app.png)
+
+Then restart Nginx using `service nginx restart` and verify reception of logs. 
+
+Your LogZilla server should now have entries similar to the following:
+
+```
+Site="localhost" Server="192.168.250.112” DstPort="80" DstIP="192.168.250.112" 
+Src="192.168.250.2" SrcIP="192.168.250.2" User="-" 
+Time_Local="17/Nov/2021:17:45:07 +0000" Protocol="HTTP/1.1" Status="304" 
+Bytes_Out="189" Bytes_In="-" HTTP_Referrer="-" User_Agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; 
+Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:94.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/94.0" Nginx_Version="1.18.0" 
+HTTP_X_Forwarded_For="-" HTTP_X_Header="-" URI_Query="-" URI="/main.html" 
+HTTP_Method="GET" Response_Time="-" Cookie="-" Request_Time="0.000" 
+
+```
+If logs are not being sent to received, be sure to check your nginx log. You may also refer to [Debugging Event Reception](/help/receiving_data/debugging_event_reception) for troubleshooting help.

+# Ubiquiti Unify Access Points
+
+Unifi AP's do not send their hostname properly. Instead, these devices send a combination of the device name, MAC address, and software version.
+
+To fix this we have provided a rule that addresses the shortcomings of the device's operating systems.
+
+This rewrite rule will modify the hostname to at least be something more usable and extract the Device ID portion (last 6 octets) of the incoming MAC address and name the host.
+
+Additionally, the following rule provides some extended enhancements extracted from the incoming device logs to allow you to track:
+
+* AP Type
+* AP Version
+* AP MAC Address
+
+
+This rule is available from the LogZilla *appstore* by going to `Settings` -> `App store` on your server and adding the *Ubiquiti* app to enable it.

+# AWS CloudWatch and Kinesis Setup
+
+This section details how to set up LogZilla and AWS so that AWS CloudWatch logs are sent to LogZilla for processing.  
+
+## LogZilla Setup
+
+
+### Auth Token
+If you have not already generated an auth token for AWS Firehose to use in connection with LogZilla, ssh to your logzilla server and execute `logzilla authtoken create` (use `sudo` if you are not logged in as root).
+
+Sample output:
+
+```
+root@1206r [~]: # logzilla authtoken create
+No user specified (missing -U option). I'll create key for admin
+b2d8c210f54ed85511f1867cb6cc4faa8ae85bff42c3dd26
+```
+The last string is the one you will need to copy and keep somewhere safe.
+
+
+## AWS Setup
+
+
+Log into your AWS account and go to the **AWS Services** drop-down menu at the top left and search for `kinesis`, then select **Kinesis Data Firehose**.
+
+![Select Kinesis Data Firehose](@@path/images/14_aws_services_selection.jpg)
+
+
+
+Next, select **Create delivery stream** near the top right.
+
+
+![Select Create Delivery Stream](@@path/images/14_create_delivery_stream.jpg)
+
+
+Set the source as **Direct PUT** and destination as **HTTP Endpoint**, then click **Create Delivery Stream**
+
+![Select Create Delivery Stream Source and Destination](@@path/images/14_create_source.jpg)
+
+
+Next, set a **Delivery Stream Name** such as `logzilla`
+
+![Enter Create Delivery Stream Name](@@path/images/14_stream_name.jpg)
+
+
+For **Destination Settings**, set the `HTTP endpoint name`, `HTTP endpoint URL`, `Access key`, and enable `GZIP`.
+
+The **Access key** is the token generated by the `logzilla authtoken create` command at the top of this document.  Note:  if this token value needs to be changed after initial configuration, the LogZilla *http_receiver* docker container must be restarted.  This can be done by restarting LogZilla altogether (`logzilla restart`) or
+can be selectively accomplished via restarting just the http_receiver container without restarting LogZilla, by doing:
+```
+logzilla restart -c http_receiver
+```
+
+
+![Enter Desination Settings](@@path/images/14_destination_settings.jpg)
+
+Under **Backup Settings**, either select a current S3 bucket that your company uses, or create a new one.
+
+![Enter Backup Settings](@@path/images/14_backup_settings.jpg)
+
+Click **Create Delivery Stream** at the bottom of the form.
+
+![Click Create Delivery Stream](@@path/images/14_create.jpg)
+
+
+Check your LogZilla server for events. 
+
+# Troubleshooting
+
+If you do not have any incoming events from AWS, verify your settings in AWS for the correct URL and settings.
+
+### Verify using cURL
+
+To verify that your LogZilla server is able to receive events, use the following command:
+
+ - Be sure to replace the **X-Amz-Firehose-Access-Key** below with the token generated by the `logzilla authtoken create` command at the top of this document.
+
+
+The following `curl` command will send a test event in gzip format to your LogZilla server. The event should show up in LogZilla as `Curl test for LogZilla firehose reception`.
+
+```
+url="http://logzilla.company.com/incoming"
+apikey="b2d8c210f54ed85511f1867cb6cc4faa8ae85bff42c3dd26"
+base64="base64"
+[[ $OSTYPE == "linux-gnu" ]] && base64="base64 -w 0"
+
+curl -X POST $url -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "X-Amz-Firehose-Access-Key: $apikey" -d '{"requestId": "xyz", "records": [{"data": "'$(echo "Curl test for LogZilla firehose reception" |gzip|$base64)'\n"}]}'
+```
+
+After event generation from `curl`, search your LogZilla instance for a program name of **kinesis**:
+
+![Check LogZilla Programs for Kinesis](@@path/images/14_logzilla_query_kinesis.jpg)
+
+Your search results will appear similar to:
+
+![LogZilla Kinesis Search Results](@@path/images/14_logzilla_search_results.jpg)
+
+### Verify using tcpdump
+
+You can also check reception from AWS to LogZilla using the instructions in the [Debugging Event Reception](/help/receiving_data/debugging_event_reception) section.

+# Syslog-ng to LZ over HTTP/HTTPS
+
+This section details how to set up LogZilla and Syslog-ng so that syslog-ng
+log messages are sent to LogZilla (over HTTP/HTTPS) for processing.
+
+## LogZilla Setup
+
+### Authorization Token
+An authorization token must be used to direct LogZilla to
+allow incoming events from the syslog-ng source.  If an
+auth token currently exists 
+(viewable via `logzilla authtoken list`) it can be used, 
+or if one is not available then a new one should be generated,
+as detailed in the section titled **Authentication (Auth Tokens)**
+on page
+[9.1 Using The LogZilla API](/help/logzilla_api/using_the_logzilla_api).
+
+## Syslog-ng configuration
+
+To relay logs directly to LogZilla, an `http` destination must be configured.
+
+### Standard Configuration (Recommended for Most Environments)
+
+The following configuration is suitable for most standard deployments:
+
+- Replace `YOUR_LOGZILLA_SERVER` and, optionally, a port `YOUR_HTTP_PORT`.
+- Replace `YOUR_GENERATED_TOKEN` with the generated token from LogZilla.
+- Custom tags can be added using the `--pair` option as shown in the example.
+- In the source section, replace `s_src` with the source you want to use.
+  For example, in Ubuntu, the source is `s_src` as defined in the
+  main `/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf` file.
+
+```text
+destination d_logzilla {
+    http(
+        url("https://YOUR_LOGZILLA_SERVER:YOUR_HTTP_PORT/incoming")
+        method("POST")
+        user-agent("syslog-ng User Agent")
+        headers(
+            "Content-Type: application/json",
+            "Authorization: token YOUR_GENERATED_TOKEN"
+        )
+        body-prefix("{\"events\": [\n")
+        delimiter(",\n")
+        body('$(format-json
+            --pair priority=int($PRI)
+            --pair host="$HOST"
+            --pair program="$PROGRAM"
+            --pair message="$MESSAGE"
+            --pair user_tags.custom_tag="custom_value"
+            --pair user_tags.custom_tag2="custom_value2"
+        )')
+        body-suffix("\n]}")
+        batch-lines(10000)
+        batch-bytes(10485760)
+        batch-timeout(500)
+    );
+};
+
+log {
+    source(s_src);
+    destination(d_logzilla);
+    flags(flow-control);
+};
+```
+
+### Advanced Configuration (For Special Requirements)
+
+For environments that need more advanced processing capabilities, such as
+handling structured data (SDATA) elements, RFC5424 format details, or
+specialized fields, a more detailed configuration is provided below:
+
+#### Key Advanced Parameters Explained
+
+- **`ts=double(${R_UNIXTIME}.${R_USEC})`**: Combines Unix timestamp with microsecond
+  precision using syslog-ng's built-in macros. The `double` type specification
+  ensures proper numeric formatting in JSON.
+
+- **`--key extra_fields.*`**: Creates a string-to-string map for metadata that
+  comes from syslog itself (not from the log message content). Unlike `user_tags`
+  (which are indexed automatically), `extra_fields` are removed after parsing and
+  are primarily used for fast matching in LogZilla rules. Think of them as
+  temporary user tags for efficient processing of incoming events. Common uses
+  include capturing metadata like `SOURCE_IP` or `HOST_FROM`.
+
+- **`--scope sdata`**: Processes RFC5424 structured data elements, which contain
+  standardized metadata about the log message.
+
+- **`--rekey .SDATA.* --add-prefix json`**: Renames structured data fields to have a
+  `json` prefix, making them more identifiable and preventing field name
+  collisions. While you can put any data in these json fields, be aware that
+  unpacking JSON in LogZilla rules is computationally expensive, so this approach
+  should be used sparingly for complex data.
+
+- **Batch parameters**: Controls how many events are collected before sending:
+  - `batch-lines`: Maximum number of events in a single batch
+  - `batch-bytes`: Maximum size of a batch
+  - `batch-timeout`: Maximum time to wait before sending a batch (milliseconds)
+
+```text
+destination d_logzilla_advanced {
+    http(
+        url("https://YOUR_LOGZILLA_SERVER:YOUR_HTTP_PORT/incoming")
+        method("POST")
+        user-agent("syslog-ng User Agent")
+        headers(
+            "Content-Type: application/json",
+            "Authorization: token YOUR_GENERATED_TOKEN"
+        )
+        body-prefix("{\"events\": [\n")
+        delimiter(",\n")
+        body('$(format-json
+            ts=double(${R_UNIXTIME}.${R_USEC})
+            priority=int($PRI)

+            program=$PROGRAM
+            message=$MESSAGE

+            --key PID --rekey PID --add-prefix json.
+            --key MSGID --rekey MSGID --add-prefix json.
+            --rekey .SDATA.* --add-prefix json
+
+            --key .JSON.* --rekey .JSON.* --replace-prefix .JSON.=json.
+        )')
+        body-suffix("\n]}")
+        batch-lines(5000)
+        batch-bytes(512Kb)
+        batch-timeout(100)
+    );
+};
+
+log {
+    source(s_src);
+    destination(d_logzilla_advanced);
+    flags(flow-control);
+};
+```
+
+- **JSON Body Format:** Matches LogZilla's structured JSON event array format,
+  as detailed in
+  [Receiving Events using HTTP](https://docs.logzilla.net/07_Receiving_Data/15_HTTP_Event_Receiver/).
+  Each event includes essential fields like `host`, `program`, `message`, `priority`,
+  and optional `user_tags`.
+
+## Verifying Successful Transmission
+
+On successful receipt of logs, LogZilla responds with an **HTTP 200** `OK`
+status
+(or possibly `HTTP 202 Accepted`) and the message:
+
+```json
+{"status": "ok"}
+```
+
+## Using User Tags
+
+User tags are additional pieces of data composed of key-value pairs.
+Each log entry ingested may have one or more user tags.
+More information about user tags can be found in the [User
+Tags](https://docs.logzilla.net/10_Data_Transformation/04_User_Tags/) section.
+
+### Example
+
+```bash
+curl \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -H 'Authorization: token YOUR_GENERATED_TOKEN' \
+  -X POST -d '{
+    "events": [{ 
+      "message": "Test Message",
+      "host": "curl.test",
+      "program": "myapp",
+      "user_tags": { "city": "Atlanta", "state": "Georgia" }
+    }]
+  }' \
+  'http://YOUR_LOGZILLA_SERVER:YOUR_HTTP_PORT/incoming'
+```
+
+This configuration is useful in two primary scenarios:
+
+1. **Constant tags:** Tags that remain constant for each log sent from a
+particular syslog originator (e.g., `"relay_server": "server1"`).
+2. **Dynamic tags:** Tags populated dynamically from syslog data elements
+(e.g., `"relay_server": "$LOGHOST"`).

+<!-- @@@title:Receiving Events using HTTP@@@ -->
+
+# HTTP Event Receiver
+
+LogZilla has a "universal" facility to receive events via HTTP.
+This is called "universal" because it is not specific to any
+particular scenario -- it is intended to be used with custom
+integrations.
+
+LogZilla listens for incoming events via HTTP to its standard HTTP port
+(configured by `logzilla config HTTP_PORT`, see section [4.8 Backend
+Configuration Options](/help/administration/backend_configuration_options)),
+at path `/incoming`. 
+
+Full http receiver api documentation is available at path `/incoming/docs`
+
+
+## Structured JSON Data Format
+
+Recommended format of incoming data allows for best performance, as multiple
+events can be sent in single request. The events sent to LogZilla should to be
+formatted as JSON, with structure:
+
+```
+{
+  "events": [
+    // event1,
+    // event2,
+    // etc.
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+As the JSON array notation indicates, more than one event message
+can be sent per transmission, if desired. Then each event should
+have structure:
+
+```
+{
+  "ts": 1704063600.1234,
+  "host": "testhost.org",
+  "program": "testprogram",
+  "message": "this is the message",
+  "user_tags": {
+      "": "Atlanta",
+      "state": "Georgia"
+  },
+  "extra_fields": {
+      "city": "Atlanta",
+      "state": "Georgia"
+  },
+  "json": {
+      "int_value": 1,
+      "float_value": 1.1,
+      "string_value": "foo",
+      "object_value": {
+        "foo" : "bar",
+      },
+      "array_value": ["bar", "baz"],
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Data Contents
+
+The event fields that can be sent to LogZilla via HTTP are:
+
+| Field | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| `ts` | epoch timestamp |
+| `host` | the originating host of the log message |
+| `program` | the program that generated the log message |
+| `message` | log message |
+| `priority` | number represents both the RFC-3164 Facility and Severity of the event in the message |
+| `user_tags` | additional string fields that will be available as event attributes in both LogZilla rules and queries |
+| `extra_fields` | additional string fields that will be available as event attributes in LogZilla rules |
+| `json` | a special field that contains any json that will be available as event attribute in LogZilla rules |
+
+## Unstructured JSON Data Format
+
+If it's not possible to use the structured JSON format, then the raw JSON can be
+sent, by using `/incoming/raw` path. In this case, the JSON can contain any
+values, and it will be in the `extra_fields` of the message, and also in the
+serialized form in the `message` field. The `host` will be set to the IP address
+of the sender, and the `program` will be set to `http_receiver`.
+
+This case is usually used with cooperation with some rules (usually from an app)
+that will extract interested fields from `extra_fields` and create appropriate
+event, depending on the actual content.
+
+You can also use any subpath of `/incoming/raw`, like for example
+`/incoming/raw/app1`. The subpath will be available in the
+ `extra_fields._url_path` field - in this example it will be `/app1`. This can
+be used in the rules to recognize events from different sources. 
+
+

+
+When sending events to LogZilla (either as structured or non-structured JSON),
+the API key (with the appropriate header) must be used. This is documented in
+[Obtaining an Auth Token](/help/logzilla_api/using_the_logzilla_api).
+
+NOTE: after generating an authorization token the LogZilla HTTP receiver module
+must be restarted This can be accomplished either via standard `logzilla
+restart` or by restarting just the HTTP receiver module:
+```
+logzilla restart -c httpreceiver
+```
+
+Upon successful receipt of a JSON `events` data element, the
+HTTP receiver will respond with HTTP status code `200` and message:
+
+```
+{"status": "ok"}
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+An example curl command using structured JSON:
+
+```
+curl \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -H 'Authorization: token 7ce02b52bfb225a2b4a0ef992b4c2afe9dc10853aecf97f6' \
+  -X POST -d  '{
+      "events": [ { 
+        "message": "Test Message", 
+        "host": "curl.test", 
+        "program": "myapp", 
+        "extra_fields": { "city": "Atlanta", "state": "Georgia" },
+        "json": { "int_value": 1, ""string_value": "foo", "array_value": ["foo"] }
+      } ] }' \
+  'http://lzserver.company.com/incoming'
+```
+
+An example of using unstructured JSON:
+
+```
+curl \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -H 'Authorization: token 7ce02b52bfb225a2b4a0ef992b4c2afe9dc10853aecf97f6' \
+  -X POST -d  '{"foo": "bar"}'
+  'http://lzserver.company.com/incoming/raw/testapp'
+```
+
+In the latter case, the event will be created with `host` set to the IP address
+of the sender, `program` set to `http_receiver`, and `message` set to the
+`{"foo": "bar"}` string. Also the `extra_fields.foo` will contain `bar` and `extra_fields._url_path` will contain `/testapp`.

+# Avaya Communications Manager
+
+LogZilla can receive log messages from Avaya communications systems.
+This is accomplished through configuring the Avaya Communications Manager
+to output logs to LogZilla. The procedure for doing so is detailed below.
+
+## Configuration Procedure
+
+Please refer to the screenshot below.
+
+1. Log in to Avaya Communication Manager System Management Interface.
+2. On the Administration Menu, click *Server (Maintenance)*.
+3. In the left navigation pane, under *Security*, click `Server Log Files`
+and do the following:
+4. There is a table with columns *Log Server*, *Enabled*, *Protocol*, etc.
+In this table go to the first row for which *Enabled* is `No`.  This will
+likely be theh first row (*Log Server* `1`), unless Communications Manager
+has already been configured to use other syslog server(s).
+5. On that row, in *Enabled*, select `Yes`.
+6. In *Protocol*, choose `TCP`.
+7. In *Port*, type in `514`.
+8. In `Server IP/FQDN`, type the name or address of the LogZilla server.
+9. The following columns (*Security*, *CM IP*, *Command*, *Kernel*,
+*Messages*) should be checked.  If they are not already, then check them.
+10. Leave all other fields on this page alone. Click *Submit*.

+# Linux Bind DNS Event Query Logging
+
+This documentation provides a comprehensive guide on how to send Linux
+BIND logs to LogZilla. LogZilla enables you to unlock the full potential
+of your network data, turning what would be a deluge of logs into
+actionable insights. Linux BIND, being a crucial part of your networking
+infrastructure, should be seamlessly integrated into your log management
+solution.
+
+BIND is the most widely used Domain Name System (DNS) software on the
+internet, developed and maintained by the Internet Systems Consortium.
+It is an open-source software that allows users to publish their Domain
+Name System (DNS) information on the Internet, and to resolve DNS
+queries for their users.
+
+In the sections that follow, you will learn how to configure your named
+server, set up Syslog-ng and Rsyslog, and how to ensure that your named
+server has the correct configuration for sending logs via Syslog. We
+also explain how to forward these events to LogZilla through Syslog-ng
+or Rsyslog, as BIND does not directly support sending Syslog to a remote
+server.
+
+# Prerequisites
+
+Before proceeding with the steps detailed in this documentation, it’s
+necessary to ensure that you have a few components set up and running.
+Below is a list of prerequisites needed to successfully send Linux BIND
+logs to LogZilla:
+
+- **A functioning BIND setup:** This documentation assumes you have a
+  Linux server running BIND. This server should be configured and
+  functioning correctly to serve DNS requests. If you’re not yet set up
+  with BIND, consult the official BIND documentation to get started.
+
+- **A LogZilla instance:** You need an operational LogZilla instance to
+  send your BIND logs to. LogZilla can be deployed on many platforms,
+  from on-premise servers to cloud environments. If you don’t have a
+  LogZilla instance running, please refer to the LogZilla installation
+  guide.
+
+- **Syslog-ng or Rsyslog:** You will need one of these logging systems
+  installed and correctly configured on your BIND server. These systems
+  will facilitate forwarding logs from your local server to the remote
+  LogZilla server.
+
+- **Root or sudo privileges:** In order to edit configuration files and
+  restart services, you’ll need root or sudo privileges on the server
+  where BIND is installed.
+
+- **Network access:** The BIND server must have network access to the
+  LogZilla server. Ensure any firewalls or security groups allow traffic
+  between these servers on the necessary ports.
+
+Once these prerequisites are met, you can move forward to configure the
+named server.
+
+# Sending Linux BIND Logs to LogZilla
+
+## Configuring Named Server
+
+Configuring the Named server is the first crucial step in forwarding
+BIND logs to LogZilla. The configuration of the named server involves
+modifying the existing BIND configuration to send logs to the local
+syslog server.
+
+### Updating Named Config
+
+To set up your named server for log sending, you need to modify the
+`/etc/bind/named.conf.options` file. Please replace or update the
+logging section with the configuration below. This configuration directs
+BIND to send logs to the local syslog server.
+
+``` yaml
+logging {
+        channel syslog {
+                syslog local0;
+                severity info;
+                print-severity yes;
+                print-category yes;
+        };
+        category lame-servers { null; };
+        category default { syslog; };
+        category queries { syslog; };
+        # if there are no other 'category' statements,
+        # it will include everything except query logging.
+};
+```
+
+This configuration sets up a syslog channel with severity info and
+enables the printing of both severity and category information. It sets
+the default and queries categories to send logs via the syslog channel.
+It also sends the lame-servers category to null, discarding any logs of
+this type.
+
+Save and exit the file after adding this configuration.
+
+## Configuring Syslog-ng
+
+The next step is configuring Syslog-ng or rsyslog. While BIND can’t directly send
+logs to a remote server, it can send them to a local syslog server.
+Syslog-ng or Rsyslog can then forward those logs to your LogZilla
+server.
+
+### Setting up Syslog-ng Config
+
+Here is the process to configure Syslog-ng:
+
+1.  Check the main Syslog-ng configuration file located at
+    `/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf` and ensure that `s_src` is defined
+    in this file. It should look similar to the following:
+
+        source s_src {
+               system();
+               internal();
+        };
+
+2.  Create a new file named `/etc/syslog-ng/conf.d/named.conf` and add
+    the destination for your LogZilla server. Replace `1.2.3.4` with the
+    IP address or hostname of your LogZilla server. The configuration
+    should look something like this:
+
+    ``` yaml
+    destination d_logzilla {
+        udp("1.2.3.4" port(514));
+    };
+
+    log {
+      source(s_src);
+      destination(d_logzilla);
+    };
+    ```
+
+In the configuration above, `destination d_logzilla` defines the
+destination that represents your LogZilla server. In the log block, the
+logs from the source `s_src` are being sent to this destination.
+
+3.  Save and exit the file after adding the configuration.
+
+## Configuring Rsyslog
+
+For those using Rsyslog instead of Syslog-ng, you can also set it up to
+forward BIND logs to your LogZilla server.
+
+To configure Rsyslog, follow these steps:
+
+1.  Open the Rsyslog configuration file, which is typically located at
+    `/etc/rsyslog.conf`.
+
+2.  Add the following lines to the end of the file, replacing `1.2.3.4`
+    with the IP address or hostname of your LogZilla server and `514`
+    with the port number where your LogZilla server is listening for
+    incoming logs.
+
+    ``` yaml
+    *.* @@1.2.3.4:514
+    ```
+
+    In this configuration, `*.*` means that logs of all facilities and
+    of all priorities will be forwarded. The `@@` symbol means that logs
+    will be sent via TCP. If you want to send logs via UDP, use a single
+    `@`.
+
+3.  Save and close the Rsyslog configuration file.
+
+## Restarting Syslog-ng, Rsyslog and Named Services
+
+Now that you have configured BIND, Syslog-ng, and Rsyslog, it’s time to
+restart these services for the changes to take effect.
+
+To restart these services, use the systemctl command as shown below:
+
+``` bash
+systemctl restart syslog-ng
+systemctl restart rsyslog
+systemctl restart named
+```
+
+Note: Only restart the service you are using to forward logs, i.e., if
+you’re using Syslog-ng, you don’t need to restart Rsyslog, and vice
+versa.
+
+Once you restart the services, they should begin forwarding the logs to
+your LogZilla server.
+
+# Troubleshooting
+
+Even with careful configuration, there’s always a chance that something
+may not work as expected. This section provides some basic
+troubleshooting tips if you’re having trouble sending Linux BIND logs to
+LogZilla.
+
+- **Check BIND configuration:** Make sure the `named.conf.options` file
+  has the correct settings for logging. Errors in the configuration may
+  prevent logs from being sent.
+
+- **Verify Syslog-ng or Rsyslog configuration:** Confirm that the
+  configuration file for Syslog-ng or Rsyslog has the correct
+  destination for your LogZilla server.
+
+- **Check service statuses:** Use the `systemctl status` command to
+  check if BIND, Syslog-ng, or Rsyslog services are running properly.
+  For example, `systemctl status named` would show the status of the
+  BIND service.
+
+- **Check firewall rules:** If your logs are not appearing in LogZilla,
+  there may be a firewall rule preventing your BIND server from
+  communicating with your LogZilla server. Ensure that traffic on the
+  relevant ports is allowed.
+
+- **Inspect log files:** Checking the Syslog-ng or Rsyslog and BIND logs
+  can provide clues about any issues. These logs typically contain error
+  messages or other information about what the service is doing.
+
+- **Use diagnostic tools:** Tools like `tcpdump` or `wireshark` can be
+  useful to see if log data is leaving your BIND server and arriving at
+  your LogZilla server.
+
+Remember, troubleshooting is often a process of elimination. By working
+through potential issues one by one, you should be able to identify and
+resolve any issues.

+Event Correlation Methods
+---
+Event correlation generally includes the following concepts:
+
+* Event triggers (when to correlate)
+* Event filters (what to correlate)
+* Event pairing (associations between multiple events)
+* Event suppression (what to ignore)
+* Time-based (window of time before something becomes important, or no longer important)
+
+Event Correlation in LogZilla
+---
+LogZilla's forwarding rules can be used to send matched events to a well-known tool called SEC (Simple Event Correlator). SEC is already installed with LogZilla along with some sample rules to help you get started.
+
+<iframe style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4eNEvCIbbic" title="Intro to Event Correlation | LogZilla University" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
+
+
+Flow
+---
+SEC is traditionally used as a pre-processor for systems where a log message would be sent to SEC before coming into LogZilla. However, because LogZilla is so scalable, SEC is not able to process such a large number of events.
+
+Instead, we allow users to create forwarding rules to send only matched events needed for correlation. Sending only the events you actually care about greatly reduces the amount of strain put on the SEC tool.
+
+This method also has the added bonus of being able to correlate events from more than just syslog messages (e.g.: SNMP Traps, etc.).
+
+Traditional Method
+---
+`Syslog Daemon --> SEC --> Log Tool`
+Scalable Method
+---
+`<Syslog, SNMP Traps, Webhooks, Files, any unstructured data, etc. --> LogZilla --> SEC`
+
+
+About SEC
+---
+SEC was written by Risto Vaarandi and is available from the <a href="https://github.com/simple-evcorr/sec">SEC Github Page</a> as well as Debian-based Repositories (via apt-get)

+# Event Correlation Rules
+
+
+LogZilla's Event Correlation includes the following EC Rule Types:
+
+* Single 
+    - Match input event and execute an action immediately.
+
+ 
+* SingleWithScript
+    - Match input event and, depending on the exit value of an external script, execute an action.
+
+* SingleWithSuppress
+    - Match input event and execute an action immediately, but ignore subsequent matching events for the next `t` seconds.
+
+* Pair
+    - Match input event, execute an action immediately and ignore subsequent matching events until some other input event arrives.
+    - Upon the arrival of that second event execute another action.
+
+* PairWithWindow
+    - Match input event and wait `t` seconds for some other input event to arrive.
+    - If that next event is not observed within a given time window, execute an action.
+    - If that next event arrives on time, execute another action.
+
+* SingleWithThreshold
+    - Count matching input events during `t` seconds
+    - If the given `t` threshold is exceeded, execute an action and ignore all matching events during the rest of the specified time window.
+
+* SingleWith2Thresholds
+    - Count matching input events during `t1` seconds
+    - If a given threshold is exceeded, execute an action and start counting matching events again
+    - If the matching event counter per `t2` seconds drops below the second threshold, execute another action.
+
+* Suppress
+    - Suppress matching input events (used to keep the events from being matched by later rules).
+
+* Calendar
+    - Execute an action only at specific times.
+
+* Jump
+    - Submit matching input events to specific ruleset(s) for further processing.
+
+* Options
+    - Set processing options for a ruleset.

+# Enabling SEC rules
+
+To enable SEC you need:
+
+* to prepare appropriate SEC-rules 
+* add the appropriate configuration to the forwarder
+* activate SEC and FORWARDER services:
+
+``` bash

+```
+
+## Sample SEC Rules
+
+LogZilla comes pre-installed with a few sample rules to help users get started. 
+Others may be found on
+our [GitHub](https://github.com/logzilla/extras/tree/master/sec) repository.
+The included sample rules are located on `/etc/logzilla/sec/example`
+to help get you started.
+
+An `.sec` file is a set of rules which tell the correlator how to match and
+process incoming events, as noted in 
+the [Rule Types](/help/event_correlation/event_correlation_rule_types) 
+section of this guide.
+
+For example:
+
+```
+# ----- Process reload and restart events -----
+
+# Looks for a reload
+#
+type=single
+continue=takeNext
+ptype=regexp
+pattern=(\S+) .?SYS-5-RELOAD: (.*)
+desc=(WARNING) reload requested for $1
+action=write - '%s details:$2'
+action=shellcmd (logger -n $SYSLOG_HOSTNAME -P $SYSLOG_BSD_TCP_PORT \
+                --rfc3164 -s -t SEC-ALERT '%s details:$2')
+
+
+# Looks for a reload followed by a restart event
+#
+type=pairWithWindow
+ptype=regexp
+pattern=(\S+) .?SYS-5-RELOAD:
+desc=(CRITICAL) $1 RELOAD_PROBLEM
+action=shellcmd (logger -n $SYSLOG_HOSTNAME -P $SYSLOG_BSD_TCP_PORT \
+                --rfc3164 -s -t SEC-ALERT %s)
+ptype2=regexp
+pattern2=($1) .?%SYS-5-RESTART:
+desc2=(NOTICE) $1 RELOAD_OK
+action2=shellcmd (logger -n $SYSLOG_HOSTNAME -P $SYSLOG_BSD_TCP_PORT \
+                --rfc3164 -s -t SEC-INFO %s)
+window=300
+
+# Looks for a restart without reload command
+#
+type=single
+ptype=regexp
+pattern=(\S+) .?%SYS-5-RESTART:
+desc=(CRITICAL) $1 restart without reload command
+action=shellcmd (logger -n $SYSLOG_HOSTNAME -P $SYSLOG_BSD_TCP_PORT \
+                --rfc3164 -s -t SEC-ALERT %s)
+```
+
+These three rules all share the same "flow", meaning that they work together 
+to form a full Correlation.
+
+Referencing the 
+[Rule Types](/help/event_correlation/event_correlation_rule_types) help page,
+we see that the rules used here are `Single` and `pairWithWindow`.
+
+The first rule waits for a reload event sent by your devices. The pattern used
+here is easy because we only need to send the Host and Message from the 
+LogZilla forwarder in order to get the rule to trigger.
+
+The next rule, `pairWithWindow`, tells the event correlator to wait 
+for 5 minutes (300 seconds), to receive a `RELOAD` event followed by 
+a `RESTART` event. If it does not arrive within 5 minutes, write a information
+to stdout.
+
+The last rule tells the EC to check for a `RESTART` event in case no 
+prior `RELOAD` event has been seen.
+
+
+# Editing/Adding SEC rules
+
+A sample rule is included in LogZilla. You can edit this file in the
+following directory.
+
+```
+/etc/logzilla/sec/example/sample.sec
+```
+
+or create new sec instance by creating a new subdirectory
+in the `/etc/logzilla/sec/` and adding your rules there.
+
+
+```
+/etc/logzilla/sec/cisco-reload/rule1.sec
+/etc/logzilla/sec/cisco-reload/rule2.sec
+```
+
+Putting the .sec config files in a separate directory will create
+a separate SEC instance for those configuration files and use 
+the directory name as the SEC instance name.
+
+# Configuring forwarder for SEC
+
+``` json
+{
+  "forwarders": [
+    {
+      "pre_match": {
+        "field": "cisco_mnemonic",
+        "value": "SYS-5-RELOAD"
+      },
+      "type": "sec",
+      "name": "cisco-reload",
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+To reload SEC instances you need to do:
+```
+logzilla settings reload sec forwardermodule
+```

+
+## Sample Windows Event Correlation
+
+LogZilla can be used with Simple Event Correlator 
+[SEC](https://simple-evcorr.github.io/)
+to supplement Windows event log messages for use in reporting and alerting.
+
+**Example Problem**
+
+The event log service is critical to maintaining awareness of operations
+performed on or by the system of interest.  It would be desirable to track
+event log startup after event log shutdown in order to verify that any time
+window in which event logging is turned off is minimal.  This example will
+verify that the event log service is restarted after no more than 10
+seconds since shutdown.
+
+LogZilla will receive the following events from the Windows Syslog Agent:
+![LogZilla Windows Event Log events](@@path/images/windows_eventlog_shutdownstartup.png)
+
+Event message #1:
+```
+DESKTOP-K2HQUHV EventLog The Event log service was stopped.
+```
+
+Event message #2:
+```
+DESKTOP-K2HQUHV EventLog The Event log service was started.
+```
+
+**Example Solution**
+
+#### Prepare SEC rule
+
+`/etc/logzilla/sec/windows-shutdown-startup/rule.sec`:
+
+``` text
+#
+# SEC rule for Windows event log shutdown / startup
+#
+
+type=PairWithWindow
+ptype=RegExp
+pattern=(\S+) \S+ The Event log service was stopped"
+desc=Event log service on $1 has been down for over 10 seconds.
+action=shellcmd (logger -n $SYSLOG_HOSTNAME -P $SYSLOG_BSD_TCP_PORT \
+                --rfc3164 -s -t SEC-ALERT %s)
+ptype2=RegExp
+pattern2=(\S+) \S+ The Event log service was started"
+desc2=Event log service on $1 successfully restarted within 10 seconds.
+action2=logonly
+window=10 
+```
+
+SEC instance will be watching incoming events for `pattern` to occur.
+If the pattern is matched an SEC operation will be created for that hostname 
+and the rule will start watching for `pattern2` to occur within 
+the specified 10 second window.
+
+If `pattern2` is seen then the SEC operation performs `action2`, which
+specifies to merely log the paired operation, and removes that SEC
+operation. However if it is *not* seen then `action` (the first) will fire
+which will create new event using `desc` as message body and send it to
+LogZilla via syslogng protocol. 
+`$SYSLOG_HOSTNAME` and `$SYSLOG_BSD_TCP_PORT` are environment variables 
+injected by LogZilla during SEC server start.
+
+
+#### Forwarder configuration
+
+``` json
+{
+  "forwarders": [
+    {
+      "pre_match": {
+        "field": "message",

+        "value": "The Event log service was (stopped|started)"

+<iframe style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mXVZg16z0DM" title="LogZilla API | LogZilla University" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
+
+The LogZilla API is available to standard HTTP/HTTPS requests.  This 
+can be accomplished via `wget`/`curl` or any tool capable of sending
+GET/POST, etc. commands.  LogZilla API access is restricted so that
+only specified users are allowed access.  This is accomplished via
+*auth tokens* as described below.
+
+## Authentication (Auth Tokens)
+
+All API functions (and receipt of events via HTTP) require authentication
+via an *authorization token*.  An *auth token* is a long sequence
+of alphanumeric digits, which represents a "key" that is associated
+with a particular user. When this *auth token* is provided to LogZilla,
+LogZilla can verify that the particular token has been configured
+to allow API or "back-end" access. Each auth token should be kept private,
+because it can be used to authorize access to the data stored in LogZilla.
+Each auth token will persist indefinitely, until specifically revoked as
+described below.
+
+There are two types of auth tokens: full-function "user" tokens,
+and ingest-only tokens.  Ingest-only tokens are used for receiving data
+via the HTTP Event Receiver and are not useful for any other purpose.
+
+*Administrator* or "root" access should be used in dealing with auth
+tokens (this can be accomplished via privileged login or via `sudo`).
+
+To manage tokens, administrators may use the `logzilla authtoken` CLI tool:
+
+```
+# logzilla authtoken -h
+usage: authtoken [-h] [-d] [-q] {create,revoke,info,list} ...
+
+LogZilla AuthToken manipulation
+
+positional arguments:
+  {create,revoke,info,list}
+    create              create new token
+    revoke              revoke new token
+    info                show token info
+    list                list all active tokens
+
+optional arguments:
+  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
+  -d, --debug           debug mode
+  -q, --quiet           notify only on warnings and errors (be quiet).
+```
+
+## Auth Token Management
+
+### Auth Token Generation
+
+Use `logzilla authtoken create` to create a new "user" full-function auth
+token, as shown here:
+
+Sample output:
+
+```
+root[~]: # logzilla authtoken create
+Creating USER token
+user-317526c44e0e04348f3dd084e997cc15950107700ddd7be0
+```
+
+The last line shows the auth token.  
+
+You can create auth tokens for other users, as well.  For example, to create
+an auth token for the user "john":
+
+```
+root[~]: # logzilla authtoken create -U john
+Creating USER token
+user-317526c44e0e04348f3dd084e997cc15950107700ddd7be0
+```
+
+Ingest-only tokens are created using the `--ingest-only` option:
+
+```
+root[~]: # logzilla authtoken create --ingest-only
+Creating INGEST token
+ingest-317526c44e0e04348f3dd084e997cc15950107700ddd7be0
+```
+
+### Auth Token Review
+
+Currently usable auth tokens can be listed using 
+`logzilla authtoken list`:
+```
+# logzilla authtoken list
+Active tokens:
+8210276eca565481f66677438ec454025a621e05d7df2a80 created: 2022-05-12 14:37:51.769886+00:00; user: admin
+```
+
+Details for an auth token can be examined via
+`logzilla authtoken info`:
+```
+# logzilla authtoken info 8210276eca565481f66677438ec454025a621e05d7df2a80
+Token: 8210276eca565481f66677438ec454025a621e05d7df2a80
+User: admin
+Created: 2022/05/12 14:37:51
+```
+
+### Auth Token Revocation
+
+Auth tokens can be "revoked", which will effectively delete
+them and prevent any access or usage of LogZilla from that
+point on.  This is done via `logzilla authtoken revoke`:
+```
+# logzilla authtoken revoke 8210276eca565481f66677438ec454025a621e05d7df2a80
+Token 8210276eca565481f66677438ec454025a621e05d7df2a80 revoked.
+```
+
+### Using the Auth Token
+
+The authorization token may be provided to the API in two ways:
+
+- `Authorization` header
+- Via the `AUTHTOKEN` parameter used in a request URI
+
+#### Header based
+
+Using an authtoken in Authorization HTTP header:
+
+```
+Authorization: token 701a75372a019fc3b1572454a582a5705bc4e929d305694c
+```
+
+#### URI based
+
+Using an authtoken in request URL:
+
+```
+POST /incoming?AUTHTOKEN=701a75372a019fc3b1572454a582a5705bc4e929d305694c
+```
+
+#### Example
+
+After creating the token, users can connect to the API using any POST/GET/PATCH/PUT, etc. command.
+
+As outlined in [HTTP Event
+Receiver](/help/receiving_data/receiving_events_using_http),
+an example of this would be to send a log message into LogZilla using CURL:
+
+```
+curl \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -H 'Authorization: token 91289817dec1abefd728fab4f43aa58b5e6fa814f' \
+  -X POST -d '{"message": "Test Message"}' \
+  'http://logzilla.mycompany.com/incoming/raw'
+```
+

+Users may try the API and get more documentation by visiting the address
+`/api/docs` on the LogZilla server.

+# Detailed API Method Documentation
+
+## 1. Purpose and Audience
+
+This document provides a comprehensive guide to using the LogZilla API, focusing
+on conceptual explanations, common workflows, and best practices. It is intended
+for developers and administrators who need to integrate with LogZilla
+programmatically or automate tasks.
+
+While this guide offers detailed explanations and examples, for the most
+granular, up-to-the-minute specifications of every API endpoint—including all
+request parameters, response schemas, and authentication methods—please refer to
+our auto-generated API documentation:
+
+*   **Swagger UI:** [`/api/docs/`](/api/docs/)
+
+This document aims to complement the auto-generated specifications by providing
+the narrative and context needed to use the API effectively.
+
+## 2. Core API Concepts & Conventions
+
+Requests to the API are made using standard HTTP methods. For endpoints that
+accept or return data in the request/response body, JSON is the standard format,
+and you should typically set the `Content-Type: application/json` header for
+`POST`, `PUT`, and `PATCH` requests. Authentication, including how to obtain and
+use authorization tokens, is detailed in "[Using The LogZilla
+API](01_Using_The_LogZilla_API.md)".
+
+This section outlines key concepts, data structures, and conventions used
+throughout the LogZilla API beyond basic authentication. Understanding these
+will help you interact with the API more effectively.
+
+### 2.1. Error Handling
+
+The LogZilla API uses standard HTTP status codes to indicate the success or
+failure of an API request.
+
+*   **2xx (Successful):**
+    *   `200 OK`: The request was successful.
+    *   `201 Created`: The request was successful, and a resource was created.
+    *   `202 Accepted`: The request has been accepted for processing, but the
+        processing has not been completed (common for asynchronous operations).
+        The response body usually contains information on how to check the
+        status.
+    *   `204 No Content`: The request was successful, but there is no content to
+        return (e.g., for a successful DELETE request).
+*   **4xx (Client Errors):**
+    *   `400 Bad Request`: The request could not be understood by the server due
+        to malformed syntax or invalid parameters. The response body often
+        contains more specific error details.
+    *   `401 Unauthorized`: Authentication is required and has failed or has not
+        yet been provided. Ensure your auth token is valid and included in the
+        request.
+    *   `403 Forbidden`: Authentication was successful, but the authenticated
+        user does not have permission to perform the requested action.
+    *   `404 Not Found`: The requested resource could not be found.
+    *   `405 Method Not Allowed`: The HTTP method used (e.g., GET, POST) is not
+        supported for the requested resource.
+    *   `429 Too Many Requests`: The user has sent too many requests in a given
+        amount of time (rate limiting).
+*   **5xx (Server Errors):**
+    *   `500 Internal Server Error`: An unexpected condition was encountered on
+        the server.
+    *   `503 Service Unavailable`: The server is currently unable to handle the
+        request due to temporary overloading or maintenance.
+
+When an error occurs (especially `4xx` or `5xx`), the response body will often
+be a JSON object. While a common key for a simple error message is `detail`
+(e.g., `{"detail": "Error message"}`), more specific structures can be returned:
+
+*   **Validation Errors (e.g., `400 Bad Request`, `422 Unprocessable Entity`):**
+    May include a `detail` key for general validation issues, or a dictionary
+    where keys are the names of the invalid fields and values are a list of
+    error messages pertaining to that field. For example: `{"field_name": ["This
+    field is required.", "Another error for this field."]}`.
+*   **Query Parameter Errors (`400 Bad Request`):** For errors related to
+    invalid query parameters, the response might be a JSON object where the key
+    is the name of the problematic parameter and the value is the error message:
+    `{"parameter_name": "Invalid value supplied."}`.
+*   **Server Errors (`500 Internal Server Error`):** In case of unhandled server
+    errors, the response may include an `error` key with the error message, and
+    potentially a `traceback` key with debugging information (though relying on
+    the traceback format for programmatic error handling is not recommended).
+    Example: `{"error": "An unexpected error occurred.", "traceback":
+    "...traceback string..."}`.
+*   **Specific Endpoint Errors:** Some endpoints might return a custom JSON
+    structure for certain errors. For example, a timeout during an asynchronous
+    operation (like report generation, HTTP status `408 Request Timeout`) might
+    return: `{"detail": "Problem with generate report", "status":
+    "TASK_TIMEOUT_STATUS"}`. Always check the specific endpoint documentation if
+    available, or inspect the response body for details.
+
+
+### 2.2. Pagination
+
+For API endpoints that return a list of items (e.g., `/api/users`,
+`/api/events`), the results are typically paginated to manage response size and
+performance.
+
+LogZilla's API uses two distinct pagination mechanisms depending on the type of
+endpoint:
+
+#### 1. Query Results Pagination
+
+Used for endpoints like `/api/query/` and `/api/query/{qid}/` (e.g., event search).
+
+- **How to use:**  
+  Pass `page`, `page_size`, and optionally `offset` as parameters in your query
+  request body or URL.
+- **Response structure:**  
+  Pagination information is included inside the `results.events` object (for
+  search queries), for example:
+  ```json
+  {
+    "results": {
+      "events": {
+        "objects": [ ... ],
+        "page_number": 1,
+        "page_size": 100,
+        "offset": 0,
+        "item_count": 1234,
+        "page_count": 13
+      },
+      ...
+    }
+  }
+  ```
+
+#### 2. Standard List Pagination
+
+Used for most other list endpoints, such as `/api/users/`, `/api/dashboards/`, etc.
+
+- **How to use:**  
+  Pass `page` and `page_size` as query parameters in the URL (e.g.,
+  `/api/users/?page=2&page_size=50`).
+- **Response structure:**  
+  Pagination information is included at the top level of the response:
+  ```json
+  {
+    "objects": [ ... ],
+    "item_count": 57,
+    "page_count": 3,
+    "page_number": 2
+  }
+  ```
+
+### 2.3. Common Data Structures and Formats
+
+#### 2.3.1. Event Field Names
+
+Events in LogZilla are characterized by several standard fields. When querying
+or receiving event data through the API, you will encounter these fields. Some
+can be prefixed with `-` in sort parameters to reverse the order (e.g.,
+`'sort':['first_occurrence','-counter']`).
+
+| Name               | Description |
+| ------------------ | --- |
+| `first_occurrence` | Timestamp of the first occurrence as seconds from epoch (including microseconds). |
+| `last_occurrence`  | Timestamp of the last occurrence as seconds from epoch (including microseconds).  |
+| `counter`          | Number of occurrences of the same message in the current deduplication window. |
+| `message`          | The event message content. |
+| `host`             | The originating host of the event. |
+| `program`          | The process or program name associated with the event. |
+| `cisco_mnemonic`   | The Cisco mnemonic code, if the event is from a Cisco device and the mnemonic is known. |
+| `severity`         | Numeric severity according to the syslog protocol (0-7). |
+| `facility`         | Numeric facility according to the syslog protocol (0-23). |
+| `status`           | Status as a number (0 - unknown, 1 - actionable, 2 - non-actionable). |
+| `type`             | Categorization type of the event (e.g., `SYSLOG`, `INTERNAL`, `UNKNOWN` |
+| `User Tags`        | User-defined fields. If a user tag's name conflicts with certain system-reserved event field names, it will be prefixed with `ut_`. See the note below this table for details on this behavior and the specific list of reserved names. |
+
+The base field names that will cause a `ut_` prefix if a user tag shares the
+same name are: `host`, `program`, `cisco_mnemonic`, `severity`, `facility`,
+`status`, and `type`.
+
+#### 2.3.2. Schedule Configuration
+
+API endpoints for features like scheduled reports (e.g., when dealing with
+`ReportSchedule` objects) use a flexible JSON structure to define schedules.
+This is typically handled via two main fields: `schedule_type` and `schedule`.
+
+*   **`schedule_type`**: A string indicating the kind of schedule. Common values
+    include:
+    *   `"c"`: For cron-based schedules.
+    *   `"a"`: For ad-hoc (run once now) schedules.
+    *   `"t"`: For schedules based on a specific timestamp.
+
+*   **`schedule`**: A JSON object whose structure depends on the
+    `schedule_type`.
+    *   **For Cron Schedules (`schedule_type: "c"`)**:
+        When `schedule_type` is `"c"`, the `schedule` field will be a JSON
+        object containing a single key `"cron"`. The value of this `"cron"` key
+        is another JSON object that specifies the cron parameters. These
+        parameters correspond to standard cron fields used by Celery (which
+        LogZilla utilizes for task scheduling):
+
+        *   `minute`: String representing the minute of the hour (0-59).
+        *   `hour`: String representing the hour of the day (0-23).
+        *   `day_of_week`: String representing the day of the week (0-6 for
+            Sunday-Saturday, or use names like `sun`, `mon`).
+        *   `day_of_month`: String representing the day of the month (1-31).
+        *   `month_of_year`: String representing the month of the year (1-12).
+
+        Each parameter can accept standard cron expressions (e.g., `"*"` for
+        any, `"*/5"` for every 5th, `"0-5"` for a range, `"1,3,5"` for specific
+        values).
+
+        **Example `schedule` field content when `schedule_type` is `"c"`:**
+        ```json
+        {
+          "cron": {
+            "minute": "0",
+            "hour": "*/2",
+            "day_of_week": "*",
+            "day_of_month": "*",
+            "month_of_year": "*"
+          }
+        }
+        ```
+        This example configures a task to run at minute 0 of every 2nd hour.
+
+    *   **(Note: The exact structure for `"adhoc"` or `"timestamp"` schedule
+        types would be `{"adhoc": true}` or `{"timestamp": "<ISO 8601 string or
+        epoch>"}` respectively, but the primary focus here is detailing the cron
+        structure.)**
+
+This cron setting structure is primarily used by the `/api/reports-schedules/`
+endpoint when creating or updating report schedules.
+
+## 3. Workflow-Oriented Documentation
+
+This section groups API endpoints by major resources or common developer
+workflows. Each subsection provides an overview, lists key endpoints with direct
+links to their detailed specifications in the auto-generated documentation, and
+offers practical examples.
+
+(TODO: Review the `urls.py` file and the API's capabilities to identify all
+major resources and workflows to be documented here. Examples include: Managing
+Users, Managing Groups, Managing Dashboards, Querying Events, Managing Triggers,
+System Settings, etc.)
+
+### 3.1. Managing Users
+
+The User Management API allows you to create, retrieve, update, and delete user
+accounts, as well as manage their properties and permissions.
+
+**Key Endpoints:**
+
+*   **List Users:** `GET /api/users` - Retrieves a list of all users. ([Swagger
+    details](/api/docs/#/users/users_list)) (TODO: Verify link)
+*   **Create User:** `POST /api/users` - Creates a new user. ([Swagger
+    details](/api/docs/#/users/users_create)) (TODO: Verify link)
+*   **Retrieve User:** `GET /api/users/{id}` - Retrieves a specific user by
+    their ID. ([Swagger details](/api/docs/#/users/users_read)) (TODO: Verify
+    link)
+*   **Update User:** `PUT /api/users/{id}` - Updates all fields for a specific
+    user. ([Swagger details](/api/docs/#/users/users_update)) (TODO: Verify
+    link)
+*   **Partial Update User:** `PATCH /api/users/{id}` - Partially updates fields
+    for a specific user. ([Swagger
+    details](/api/docs/#/users/users_partial_update)) (TODO: Verify link)
+*   **Delete User:** `DELETE /api/users/{id}` - Deletes a specific user.
+    ([Swagger details](/api/docs/#/users/users_delete)) (TODO: Verify link)
+*   (TODO: Add other relevant user-related endpoints like managing user groups,
+    permissions, etc., if they are separate, e.g., `/api/users/{id}/groups/`)
+
+**Example Workflow: Creating a New User and Assigning to a Group**
+
+1.  **Create the User:**
+    Send a `POST` request to `/api/users/` with the user's details in the
+    request body.
+    ```json
+    // POST /api/users
+    {
+      "username": "newuser",
+      "email": "newuser@example.com",
+      "first_name": "New",
+      "last_name": "User",
+      "password": "Str0ngPassword!", // TODO: Note password complexity requirements
+      "is_active": true
+      // TODO: Add other relevant fields like permission_codenames or group assignments if supported directly on creation
+    }
+    ```
+    Note the `id` of the newly created user from the response.
+
+2.  **Find or Create the Group:**
+    *   To find an existing group's ID, you might `GET /api/groups/` (TODO:
+        Verify group endpoint) and filter/search for the desired group.
+    *   To create a new group, `POST /api/groups/` with group details. Note its
+        `id`.
+
+3.  **Assign User to Group:**
+    (TODO: Determine the exact method for assigning a user to a group. This
+    might be a PATCH to the user object, a POST to a nested group resource like
+    `/api/users/{user_id}/groups/`, or a PATCH to the group object.)
+    *Example (assuming PATCH to user):*
+    ```json
+    // PATCH /api/users/{user_id}
+    {
+      "groups": [123] // Array of group IDs
+    }
+    ```
+
+**Important Considerations:**
+*   Review password policies and required fields when creating users.
+*   Understand how permissions are managed (e.g., directly on the user, through
+    group membership, using `permission_codenames`).
+
+### 3.2. Managing Dashboards
+
+The Dashboard API allows you to create, retrieve, update, and delete user
+dashboards and their associated widgets.
+
+**Key Endpoints:**
+
+*   **List Dashboards:** `GET /api/dashboards` ([Swagger
+    details](/api/docs/#/dashboards/dashboards_list)) (TODO: Verify link)
+*   **Create Dashboard:** `POST /api/dashboards` ([Swagger
+    details](/api/docs/#/dashboards/dashboards_create)) (TODO: Verify link)
+*   **Retrieve Dashboard:** `GET /api/dashboards/{id}` ([Swagger
+    details](/api/docs/#/dashboards/dashboards_read)) (TODO: Verify link)
+*   (TODO: Add endpoints for Update, Delete, managing dashboard widgets, etc.)
+
+**Example Workflow: Creating a Simple Dashboard with One Widget**
+
+1.  **Create the Dashboard:**
+    Send a `POST` request to `/api/dashboards/`.
+    ```json
+    // POST /api/dashboards
+    {
+      "name": "My System Overview",
+      "description": "Primary dashboard for monitoring system health.",
+      "is_public": false // Or true, if it should be accessible by others
+      // TODO: Add other relevant fields like owner, layout configuration
+    }
+    ```
+    Note the `id` of the newly created dashboard from the response.
+
+2.  **Add a Widget to the Dashboard:**
+    (TODO: Determine the endpoint and method for adding widgets. This could be
+    `/api/dashboards/{dashboard_id}/widgets/` or similar.)
+    *Example (assuming POST to a nested widget resource):*
+    ```json
+    // POST /api/dashboards/{dashboard_id}/widgets
+    {
+      "name": "CPU Usage Last Hour",

+## 4. Practical Examples & Use Cases
+
+This section provides more comprehensive examples that demonstrate how to
+combine multiple API calls to achieve realistic goals. These examples are
+designed to illustrate common patterns and showcase the power and flexibility of
+the LogZilla API.
+
+(TODO: Develop 2-3 detailed practical examples. These should be more involved
+than the single workflow examples in Section 3. For instance:
+    *   **Example 1: Automated Alert Escalation and Ticket Creation:**
+        1.  Query for critical events matching certain criteria (`GET
+            /api/events/` or `/api/query/`).
+        2.  If critical events are found, check if a notification has already
+            been sent for a similar recent event (perhaps by checking a custom
+            tag or an external system).
+        3.  If no recent notification, create a new alert/notification entry in
+            LogZilla (`POST /api/alerts/` - endpoint hypothetical).
+        4.  Simultaneously, forward details to an external ticketing system
+            (e.g., JIRA, ServiceNow) by making an HTTP POST request (could be
+            initiated via a LogZilla script action triggered by the API, or
+            directly if the API supports outbound webhooks).
+        5.  Update the LogZilla event/alert with the ticket ID from the external
+            system (`PATCH /api/events/{id}` or `/api/alerts/{id}`).
+    *   **Example 2: Proactive Host Onboarding and Monitoring Setup:**
+        1.  A new host is provisioned and its IP/hostname is available.
+        2.  Use the API to add this host to a "monitored hosts" group in
+            LogZilla (`POST /api/hostgroups/{id}/hosts/` - endpoint
+            hypothetical).
+        3.  Automatically create a set of standard monitoring rules/triggers for
+            this new host based on a template (`POST /api/triggers/` using
+            pre-defined criteria targeting the new host or its group).
+        4.  Create a dedicated view or dashboard widget for events from this new
+            host (`POST /api/views/` or `POST /api/dashboards/{id}/widgets/`).
+    *   **Example 3: Generating a Custom Weekly Security Report:**
+        1.  Define criteria for security-relevant events.
+        2.  At the end of the week (e.g., via a script run by cron):
+            a.  Query the API for all security-relevant events from the past
+            week (`GET /api/query/` with appropriate filters and time range).
+            b.  Query for any changes to user permissions or group memberships
+            in the past week (`GET /api/auditlogs/` - endpoint hypothetical, or
+            `/api/users/` and `/api/groups/` and diffing if audit specific
+            endpoint not available).
+            c.  Aggregate and format this data into a report (e.g., CSV, HTML).
+            d.  Optionally, use an API endpoint to upload this report or send it
+            via an integrated notification channel (`POST /api/reports/` or
+            `POST /api/notifications/`).
+Each example should include:
+    *   A clear description of the goal.
+    *   Step-by-step breakdown of API calls.
+    *   Sample request/response snippets where useful.
+    *   Explanation of any logic involved in processing data between API calls.

+
+## Creating a New Query
+A new query is created through `POST /api/query`, and always includes two parameters (usually with JSON body):
+
+**type**  
+Indicates which query you want to perform. See **Query Types** for more detail.
+
+**params**  
+A JSON object containing the parameters for the query. Every *query type* has a different list of available parameters. 
+
+After creating a query you can get its results either immediately (if it was able to complete in 1 second) with response `200 "OK"`, or (for requests which must be completed asynchronously) a status of `202 "ACCEPTED"` with response body containing a `query_id`.
+
+## Asynchronous Requests
+
+> NOTE: Although you can query for results at any time with `GET /api/query/<id>` the recommended way of getting query results is to use *websockets* and *subscriptions* (see below).
+
+If your initial query returns `202 "ACCEPTED"` run the query again to check for results using the query id value returned from the first query using `GET /api/query/<id>` to get updated results. 
+
+### Relative Time Queries
+For results that have a completed status of `200 "SUCCESS"` subsequent queries to the same id will provide refreshed results on relative time queries such as *last hour*. 
+
+### Polling Query Results
+To retrieve the current data of an existing query (whether currently processing or not) use `GET /api/query/<id>`.
+
+`GET /api/query/<id>` can return paged results of the data by providing additional parameters of `page_size=<num of results>` and `page=<page number>`. The HTTP result message is always returned immediately but the query status (in the returned JSON) could indicate that the query is incomplete (query status `IN_PROGRESS`) or even as of yet empty (query status `PENDING`).
+
+For example, if your query is not completed immediately the received response would be:
+
+```
+{
+  "query_id": "72bc846140344b4da3cdcfb831174a3e",
+  "status": "IN_PROGRESS",
+  "type": "Search",
+  "base_time": 1416233863,
+  "results": {
+    "..."
+  },
+  "params": {
+    "sort": [
+      "first_occurence"
+    ],
+    "filter": [],
+    "page": 1,
+    "page_size": 100,
+    "time_range": {
+      "ts_from": 1000,
+      "ts_to": 10000
+    }
+  },
+  "owner_id": 1
+}
+```
+
+When a query is completed (possibly immediately) the response would be:
+
+```
+{
+  "query_id": "72bc846140344b4da3cdcfb831174a3e",
+  "status": "SUCCESS",
+  "type": "Search",
+  "base_time": 1416233863,
+  "results": {
+    "..."
+  },
+  "params": {
+    "sort": [
+      "first_occurence"
+    ],
+    "filter": [],
+    "page": 1,
+    "page_size": 100,
+    "time_range": {
+      "ts_from": 1000,
+      "ts_to": 10000
+    }
+  },
+  "owner_id": 1
+}
+```
+
+### Getting query results via websocket
+
+The recommended way of getting query results, especially for widgets, is using websockets. Using the websocket method (vs. `GET /api/query/`) provides initial calculation results, partial results for asynchronous queries, and final results of the query. 
+
+Websockets for the API are available under `/ws/live-updates` and, after establishing the connection, allows for real-time subscription and unsubscription on events of interest. 
+
+Websocket operations should be sent using *encoded JSON* with an array of commands and parameters, for example:
+
+```
+["subscribe", "widget", 2]
+```
+
+Subscription to a particular query or widget can be accomplished by providing the appropriate entity id, for which query id is a string and widget id is an integer, subscription to the whole dashboard can be requested in which case websocket updates will then include get updates for all widgets on that dashboard.
+
+Unsubscribing can be accomplished either by providing the same parameters that were used for the subscription, or removal of all subscriptions with:
+
+`["unsubscribe", "all"]`
+
+After successful subscription/unsubscription a confirmation result will be returned, which always contains the list of currently subscribed items:
+```
+["subscription-update", {"query": [], "widget": [2], "dashboard": []}]
+```
+Once subscribed updates for the requested objects will begin. Each update is a separate message as follows:
+```
+["widget-update", {
+    "widget_id": 2,
+    "dashboard_id": null,
+    "data": {
+        "status": "SUCCESS",
+        "query_id": "4f29934c97b1c0857c2341c3cb188371",
+        "results": {
+            "totals": "...",
+            "details": "..."
+        }
+    }
+}]
+```
+For widgets that are directly subscribed the dashboard_id as shown above will be null.  For query subscriptions, both dashboard_id and widget_id will be null. The *data* field contains exactly the same content that `GET /api/query/<id>` would return, as indicated in the documentation for each particular request type.
+
+## Common query parameters
+Although every query, type defines its own list of parameters there are some parameters used by most of them:
+
+### time_range
+For every query the start- and end-time period of the desired data must be provided. For some queries, a list of sub-periods in the given period must also be provided - i.e. when requesting event rates ordinarily a list of values will be provided, such as all minutes in the last hour, or last 30 days, etc..
+
+the time_range parameter is an object with the following fields:
+
+**ts_from**  
+timestamp (number of seconds from epoch) defining the beginning of the period, for which 0 (zero) can be used to use the current time, or a negative number to specify time relative to the current time
+
+**ts_to**  
+timestamp defining the end of the period.  0 or a negative number can be provided to get time relative to current
+
+**step**  
+if the query needs sub-periods then a step can be provided; for example, 60 will create 1-minute periods, 900 will give 15-minutes periods, and so on. The default is set heuristically according to ts_from and ts_to - i.e. when a 1 hour time range is requested `step` will be set to 1 minute, for the range of 1 minute or less `step` will be one second, and so on.
+
+**preset**  
+alternative to ts_from and ts_to; based on the timezone determines the start of the day and uses appropriate ts_from, ts_to; available presets: ‘today’, ‘yesterday’
+
+**timezone**  
+determines the beginning of the day for preset parameter; by default, GLOBAL_TZ config value is used
+
+Periods are always rounded to the nearest multiple of `step`. Rounding is always up so the last period is often partially in the future, such as if a step of 1 hour is requested and it is now 13:21 then the last period will be 13:00 - 14:00.  This then results in results for the current hour being received despite the hour indicated not yet being complete.
+For query types that do not use subperiods (such as "LastN") only ts_from and ts_to are important, but `step` and `round_to_step` to round can still be used. (Note that in earlier versions there was an option to provide `round_to_step` and `periods` parameters, which are now unsupported).
+
+### filter
+By default, every query operates on all data (according to the given time range), but for each, a compound parameter "filter" can be provided which will filter results by selected fields (including as desired message text). This parameter is an array of filter conditions that are always "AND"-ed, meaning that each record must match all of the given conditions to be included in the final results. Filtering is always done before aggregating so if for example the event rate is queried and filtering is specified by hostname then only the number of events with this host name will be reported as the result count.
+
+Every filter condition is an object with following fields:
+
+name | description
+- | -
+`field` | name of the field to filter by, as it appears in results
+`value` | actual value to filter by. for fields other than timestamp this can also be a list of possible values (only for "eq" comparison)
+`op` | if type is numeric (this includes timestamps) this defines the type of comparison.  see immediately below
+`ignore_case` | determines whether text comparisons are case sensitive or not. Defaults to True, meaning all comparisons are case insensitive. To force case sensitive mode set ignore_case=False
+
+operator | description
+- | -
+`eq` | value is an exact value to be found. this is the default when no comparison operator is specified. you can also specify list of possible values
+`lt` | match only records with field less than the given value
+`le` | match only records with field less than or equal to the given value
+`gt` | match only records with field greater than the given value
+`ge` | match only records with field greater than or equal to the given value
+`qp` | special operator for message boolean syntax
+
+### Examples  
+Return only events with counter greater than 5:
+```
+[ { "field": "counter", "op": "gt", "value": 5 } ]
+```
+Return events from host ‘fileserver23’ with severity ‘ERROR’ or higher:
+```
+[ { "field": "severity", "value": [0, 1, 2, 3] },
+  { "field": "host", "value": "fileserver23" } ]
+```
+Return events from hosts "alpha" and "beta" matching "power failure" in event message text:
+```
+[ { "field": "message", "value": "power failure" },
+  { "field": "host", "value": ["alpha", "beta"] } ]
+```
+### Message boolean syntax
+Boolean logic expressions can be used in message filters. They work as indicated in: http://sphinxsearch.com/docs/current.html#boolean-syntax
+
+Allowed operators between words/expressions:  
+**AND**  
+which is also implicitly used between two words/expressions if there is no other operator specified
+
+**NOT**  
+shortcut: use either **‘!’** or **‘-‘**
+
+**OR**  
+shortcut: **‘|’**
+
+Operators are case-insensitive, so: ‘AND’, ‘and’, ‘AnD’ are correct
+
+Some boolean expressions are forbidden:
+
+`-Foobar1`  
+`Foobar1 | -Foobar2`  
+
+Examples of incorrect expressions:
+Return events containing words ‘Foobar1’ or ‘Foobar2’ and not ‘Foobar3’:
+```
+[ { "field": "message", "op": "qp", "value": "Foobar1 | Foobar2 !Foobar3" } ]
+```
+Return events containing words (‘Foobar1’ or ‘Foobar2’) and (‘Foobar4 or Foobar4)’:
+```
+[ { "field": "message", "op": "qp", "value": "(Foobar1 | Foobar2) (Foobar3 | Foobar4)" } ]
+```
+### Common results format
+The "results" container is always an object with one or several fields, usually containing "totals" and/or "details".  The former contains results for the whole period whereas the latter is an array of values for subperiods. Both total and subperiod usually contain "ts_from" and "ts_to" timestamps, to show exact time range for the data retrieved, and then the result "values" or just "count".
+
+See the description of the particular *query type* for details on what the results contain and the results format, with examples.
+
+### Generic results format for system queries
+System queries return data collected by the telegraf system, for different system parameters, and are used for displaying system widgets (that can be used later on for diagnostic monitoring of system performance).
+
+All these queries return "totals" and "details". For details the objects are similar to data for EventRateQuery but there are more keys with different values.  An example from *System_CPUQuery*:
+```
+{
+  "details": [
+    {
+      "ts_from": 1416231300,
+      "ts_to": 1416231315,
+      "softirq": 0,
+      "system": 8.400342,
+      "idle": 374.946619,
+      "user": 16.067144,
+      "interrupt": 0.20001199999999997,
+      "nice": 0,
+      "steal": 0,
+      "wait": 0.20001199999999997
+    },
+    "..."
+  ]
+}
+```
+For totals instead of an array we have a single object with keys like above, but rather than a single value there is a set of values:
+```
+{
+  "system": {
+    "count": 236,
+    "sum": 1681.6008720000007,
+    "min": 5.2671220000000005,
+    "max": 9.599976,
+    "avg": 7.125427423728817
+    "last": 6.400112999999999,
+    "last_ts": 1416234840,
+  },
+}
+```
+So here there are different kinds of aggregates for the selected time period:
+
+type | description
+- | -
+`count` | number of known values for the given time period
+`sum` | total of those values (used for calculating avg)
+`min` | minimum value
+`max` | maximum value
+`avg` | average value (sum / count)
+`last` | last known value from given period
+`last_ts` | timestamp when last known value occurred
+
+&nbsp;  
+## Query types
+### TopN  
+Get top N values for requested field and time period, possibly with filtering. Detailed counts for subperiods of the given period can additionally be requested.
+
+Configurable parameter | description
+- | -
+`time_range` | data is taken for this time range
+`field` | which field to aggregate by (defaults to "host")
+`with_subperiods` | boolean. if set then you’ll get not only results for the whole time range, but also for all subperiods
+`top_periods` | boolean. if set then you’ll get the top N subperiods
+`filter` | you can specify some extra filters. see the "common parameters" description for details
+`limit` | number of values to show
+`show_other` | boolean. enables one extra value called "other", with the sum of all remaining values from N+1 to the end of the list
+`ignore_empty` | boolean. enables ignoring empty event field/tag values (defaults to True)
+`subfields` | you can specify some extra subfields to get detailed results
+`subfields_limit` | the number of subfield values to show
+
+Data format:  
+"totals" with values for the whole time period are provided first:
+```
+{
+  "totals": {
+      "ts_from": 123450000,
+      "ts_to": 123453600,
+      "values": [
+          {"name": "host32", "count": 3245},
+          {"name": "host15", "count": 2311},
+          {"name": "localhost", "count": 1255},
+          "..."
+      ]
+  }
+}
+```
+Elements are sorted from highest to lowest count, but if "show_other" is requested then the last value is always "other" regardless of the count (which can be larger than any previous count). Number of elements in "values" can be less than "limit" parameter if not enough different values for the given field were found for the given time period.
+
+If "with_subperiods" is enabled then besides one "totals" array a "details" array of all subperiods will also be provided:
+```
+{
+  "details": [
+      {
+          "ts_from": 123450000,
+          "ts_to": 123450060,
+          "values": [
+              {"name": "host2", "count": 1},
+              {"name": "host3", "count": 10},
+              {"name": "localhost", "count": 20},
+              "..."
+          ],
+          "total_values": [
+              {"name": "host32", "count": 151},
+              {"name": "host15", "count": 35},
+              {"name": "localhost", "count": 13},
+              "..."
+          ],
+          "total_count": 199
+      },
+      {
+          "ts_from": 123450060,
+          "ts_to": 123450120,
+          "values": [
+              {"name": "host32", "count": 42},
+              {"name": "host15", "count": 0},
+              {"name": "localhost", "count": 51},
+              "..."
+          ],
+          "total_count": 93
+      },
+      "..."
+  ]
+}
+```
+In "values" only the TopN value for the given time subperiod (which may be different from the TopN of the entire period) will be provided; in "total_values" detailed total values for the given time subperiod will be returned. Please note that for subperiods the order of "total_values" is always the same as in "totals", regardless of actual counts; also for some entries 0 (zero) can be returned for the count (but the actual name is always present).
+
+If "top_periods" is requested then "top_periods" as an array of top (sorted by total_count) subperiods will be provided:
+```
+{
+  "top_periods": [
+      {
+          "ts_from": 123450000,
+          "ts_to": 123450060,
+          "values": [
+              {"name": "host32", "count": 151},
+              {"name": "host15", "count": 35},
+              {"name": "localhost", "count": 13},
+              "..."
+          ],
+          "total_count": 199
+      },
+      {
+          "ts_from": 123450060,

+          "values": [
+              {"name": "host32", "count": 42},
+              {"name": "host15", "count": 0},
+              {"name": "localhost", "count": 51},
+              "..."
+          ],
+          "total_count": 93
+      },
+      "..."
+  ]
+}
+```
+If "subfields" is enabled then "subfields" with a counter at each detailed subperiod will be provided:
+```
+{
+  "totals": {
+      "...""
+      "values": [
+          {
+              "name": "host32",

+### LastN  
+Get last N values for the given field and given time period, with number of occurrences per given time range
+
+Configurable parameter | description
+- | -
+`time_range` | data is taken for this time range  
+`field` | which field to aggregate by
+`filter` | filtering; see common parameters description
+`limit` | number of values to show
+
+Data format  
+Always only the "totals" part, with the following content:
+```
+{
+  "totals": {
+      "ts_from": 123450000,
+      "ts_to": 123453600,
+      "values": [

+          "..."
+      ]
+   }
+}
+```
+It is similar to "TopN" but there is also a "last_seen" field, with possibly fractional part of the second. Also, elements are sorted by "last_seen" instead of "count". Both elements shown and counts are for the given time_range and filters.
+
+&nbsp;  
+### EventRate  
+Get number of events per given time periods - i.e. per second for last minute, or events per day for last month, and so on.  Filters can be used to retrieve the rate for a particular host, program, severity or any combination. It is also used on the search results page to show a histogram for the search results.
+
+Configurable parameter | description
+- | -
+`time_range` | data is taken for this time range, periods are generated according to the description of this parameter; see section "common parameters"
+`filter` | extra filtering as desired
+
+Data format  
+Similarly to other types "totals" and "details" are returned. For details there is only "count", for "totals" there are self-explanatory aggregates (the one called "last" is the last value from "details").
+
+"drill_up_time_range" is the time range that should be used for showing a wider time period (for example if by-minute is requested it will include the whole hour, when specifying by hour it will include the whole day, and so on). It can be null because it is always limited to one day at most - so if a whole day or wider time range is specified there will be a null value to indicate no option to drill up.
+
+Sample data:
+```
+{
+  "totals": {
+      "ts_from": 123450000,
+      "ts_to": 123453600,

+The only query type that includes not only counts but also the list of events with details.
+
+Configurable parameter | description
+- | -
+`time_range` | data is taken for this time range (periods are ignored)
+`filter` | this is for search details; see common parameters for details
+`sort` | list of fields to sort results by; only first_occurrence, last_occurrence and count are available. you can get descending sort order by prefixing the field name with "-" (minus) sign
+`page_size` | number of events to retrieve
+`page` | number of the page to retrieve, for paging; remember that the larger the page number the longer it will take to retrieve results, especially if you have a multi-host configuration
+
+Results format  
+There are two values: "totals" contains just the count of all items found, and sometimes "total_count" if there was more than could be retrieved; "events" contains the actual list of events in the form identical to all lists with paging, so information is provided about the number of items, number of pages, current page number, and then actual objects (current page only) under the "objects" key:

+### System_CPU  
+Configurable parameter | description
+`time_range` | data is taken for this time range; only ts_from and ts_to are considered, step is always provided by the back-end depending on data available for the given period
+`cpu` | number of CPU (from 0 to n-1, with n being the actual number of CPU cores in the system), or ‘totals’ to get the sum for all CPU's
+
+Results format  
+See "Generic results format for system queries" for the generic results format.
+
+This query returns CPU usage broken down by different categories:
+
+label | description
+- | -
+`user` | CPU used by user applications
+`nice` | CPU used to allocate multiple processes demanding more cycles than the CPU can provide
+`system` | CPU used by the operating system itself
+`interrupt` | CPU allocated to hardware interrupts
+`softirq` | CPU servicing soft interrupts
+`wait` | CPU waiting for disk IO operations to complete
+`steal` | Xen hypervisor allocating cycles to other tasks
+`idle` | CPU not doing any work
+
+All those are float numbers, which should sum to 100 (more or less), or with CPU param set to "totals", then to to 100*n where n is number of CPU cores.
+
+Note The CPU plugin does not collect percentages. It collects *jiffies*, the units of scheduling. On many Linux systems, there are circa 100 jiffies in one second, but this does not mean a percentage will be returned. The number of jiffies per second will vary depending on system load, hardware, whether or not the system is virtualized, and possibly half a dozen other factors.
+
+&nbsp;  
+### System_Memory

+
+This query returns memory usage (in bytes) broken down by:
+
+label | description
+- | -
+`used` | memory used by user processes
+`buffered` | memory used for I/O buffers
+`cached` | memory used by disk cache
+`free` | free memory
+

+
+This query returns disk usage (in bytes) broken down by:
+
+label | description

+# LogZilla Rules
+
+LogZilla *Rules* are how LogZilla can parse and rewrite log messages to extract
+the specific bits of useful information, as well as to rewrite the log message
+so that when you review the log messages the information shown is more useful
+to you. There are two types of LogZilla rules: rewrite rules, which are defined
+through simple `JSON` or `YAML` files; and *lua* rules, which are very powerful
+but are defined in lua programming language files. Both types of rules can be
+used at the same time, but be aware that lua rules are executed before rewrite
+rules, so that any data modifications or other actions taken by the lua rules
+will precede the execution of the rewrite rules.
+
+# Rewrite Rule Files
+
+Rewrite rules may be written in either `JSON` or `YAML`
+
+# Best Practice
+
+When creating rewrite rules it is suggested to use the following syntax in the **comment** section of the rule. This makes testing easier in the future for other members of your team should they require it.
+
+The comments should contain the following:
+
+* Name
+* Sample Log
+* Description
+* Category (generally one of the categories from [FCAPS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FCAPS))
+
+For example:
+
+```yaml
+first_match_only: true
+pre_match:
+- field: host
+  value: foo
+- field: program
+  value: bar*
+rewrite_rules:
+- comment:
+  - 'Severity: INFO'
+  - 'Area: Firewall / Packet Filter'
+  - 'Name: IPv4 source route attack'
+  - 'Sample: msg_id="3000-0152" IPv4 source route attack from 10.0.1.34 detected.'
+  - 'Description: IPv4 source route attack was detected.'
+  - 'Format: IPv4 source route attack from %s detected.'
+  - 'Variables: IPv4 source route from ${src} detected.'
+  match:
+    value: msg_id="3000-0152"
+    op: "=~"
+    field: message
+  tag:
+    WatchGuard Firewall IPv4 Src: "${src}"
+    WatchGuard Firewall Msg Ids: 3000-0152
+  rewrite:
+    message: '$MESSAGE NEOMeta: area="Firewall / Packet Filter" name="IPv4 source
+      route attack" description="IPv4 source route attack was detected."'
+    program: WatchGuard_Firewall
+<truncated for brevity>
+```
+
+# Rule Overview
+
+Each rule must define a `match` condition and at least one of the following:
+
+- `rewrite`: a key-value map of fields and their eventual values
+- `replace`: replace one or all occurrences of one substring with another
+- `tokenize`: handle messages in tsv, csv, or similar formats
+- `drop`: a boolean flag indicating the matched event should be ignored/dropped (not inserted into LogZilla).
+
+All types of rules only modify events that match their filter,
+
+Drop rules are the simplest - except for `match`, they are just `drop: true`
+
+Replace rules must define what field it should run regex replace on (`replace`).
+
+Tokenize rules must have a `tokenize` section, defining the fields used and
+optionally `separator`.  Tokenize rules must define what fields to rewrite (`rewrite`),
+and/or what tags to set (`tag`).
+
+In all other cases, if a rule does not define `tokenize`, `replace` or `drop`,
+it is a rewrite rule.  Rewrite rules must define what fields to rewrite (`rewrite`),
+and/or what tags to set (`tag`).
+
+## Basic Rule Example
+
+
+```yaml
+match:
+  field: host
+  value:
+  - host_a
+  - host_b
+rewrite:
+  program: new_program_name
+  host: new_host_name
+```
+In this example, the rule above changes the incoming event in the following manner:
+
+1. Match on either `host_a` or `host_b`
+2. Set the `program` field to `new_program_name`
+3. Set the `host` field to `new_host_name`
+
+
+# Rule Syntax
+
+## Match Conditions
+
+* `match` may be a single condition or an array of conditions.
+* If `match` is an array, it will only match if **ALL** conditions are met (implied `AND`).
+* Each condition must define a `field` and `value` along with an optional `op` (match operator).
+* `value` may be a string or an array of strings.
+* If `value` is an array, the condition will be met if **ANY** element of the array matches (implied `OR`).
+
+### Valid `match` examples:
+
+```yaml
+rewrite_rules:
+- match:
+  - field: program
+    value:
+    - program_a
+    - program_b
+  - field: host
+    op: ne
+    value: 127.0.0.1
+  - field: message
+    op: "=~"
+    value: "\\d+foo\\s?(bar)"
+  rewrite:
+    program: "$1"
+```
+
+
+## Operators
+Operators control the way the `match` condition is applied. If no `op` is supplied, the default operator `eq` is assumed.
+
+| Operator | Match Type        | Description                                                                                   |
+|----------|-------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| eq       | String or Integer | Matches the entire incoming message against the string/integer specified in the `match` condition |
+| ne       | String or Integer | Does *not* match anything in the incoming message `match` field.                              |
+| gt       | Integer Only      | Incoming integer value is greater than this number                                            |
+| lt       | Integer Only      | Incoming integer value is less than this number                                               |
+| ge       | Integer Only      | Incoming integer value is greater than or equal to this number                                |
+| le       | Integer Only      | Incoming integer value is less than or equal to this number                                   |
+| =~       | RegEx             | Match based on RegEx pattern                                                                  |
+| !~       | RegEx             | Does *not* match based on RegEx pattern                                                       |
+| =*       | String            | Given substring appears anywhere in the incoming message                                      |
+| !*       | String            | Given substring does *not* appear anywhere in the incoming message                            |
+
+When searching for strings with operators `eq` or `ne`, special characters
+`?` and `*` can be used as a wildcard to match any character or characters.
+It can be placed at the start of a string, at the end of a string,
+or in the middle of a string. Note that you cannot search for the literal
+characters `*` or `?` using this method.
+
+# Rewriting Fields
+To transform an incoming event into a new string, use the `rewrite` keyword.
+
+When replacing incoming event parts, the rules can reuse events from the original field's values in three ways:
+
+1. Capturing RegEx sub-matches
+2. key/value parsing of the incoming MESSAGE field
+3. Full string values of incoming MESSAGE, HOST and/or PROGRAM fields
+4. Combinations of the above (i.e. these features may be used together in a single rule)
+
+To replace parts from `field` RegEx operators in a `rewrite`, one or more of its values must contain capture references.
+
+These RegEx capture references **must not** be escaped.
+**Example**: `$1`, `$2`, `$3`, etc.
+
+- `$1` is the correct way to replace the value with the captured RegEx.
+- `\$1` would match `$1` *literally* (and would not reference the RegEx captured).
+- One (and exactly one) `match` condition must capture these sub-matches.
+- The value must be a RegEx string with at least as many captures used by the `rewrite` fields.
+- The condition must have the `op` (operator) set as a RegEx operator, e.g.: `"=~"`.
+- If the operator type (`op`) is excluded, `eq` will be assumed.
+
+
+### RegEx Rewrite Example
+
+The following rule rewrites a `program` field on events `not` originating from the host named `127.0.0.1`.
+
+1. Match on the `message` field
+2. Use the RegEx operator of `=~`
+3. Match on any message containing either of the strings set in the `value`
+4. Do not consider this a match if the `host` is `127.0.0.1`
+5. If the above criteria are met, set the `program` name to `$1` (the RegEx capture obtained from the `value` in the `match` statement).
+
+
+```yaml
+match:
+- field: message
+  op: "=~"
+  value:
+  - output of program (\w+)
+  - error while running (\w+)
+- field: host
+  value: 127.0.0.1
+  op: ne
+rewrite:
+  program: "$1"
+
+```
+
+# Automatic key-value detection
+
+LogZilla automatically detects events containing `key="value"` pairs. This feature allows users to avoid having to write Regular Expression patterns to extract/use the values provided in KV pairs and simply use the `value` portion using the variable of `${key}`.
+
+To use these values, one or more of the `rewrite` fields must reference an unescaped key variable (`${key}`) from the incoming event. The key will automatically be replaced only if the text of the `message` contains that key.
+
+At least one explicit `match` condition must still be applied in order to tell LogZilla to process that event using this rule.
+
+For example, the following rule will rewrite the entire message of an incoming Juniper event (which uses `key="value"` pairs).
+
+Sample Original Incoming Message (before rewrite):
+
+> Note: the sample message below is *only* the message itself and doesn't include the host, pri, or program.
+
+```
+2017-07-03T12:23:33.146 SRX5800 RT_FLOW - RT_FLOW_SESSION_CREATE [junos@2636.1.1.1.2.26 source-address="1.2.7.19" source-port="46157" destination-address="2.4.21.21" destination-port="443" service-name="junos-https" nat-source-address="6.12.7.29" nat-source-port="46157" nat-destination-address="1.3.21.22" nat-destination-port="443" src-nat-rule-name="None" dst-nat-rule-name="SSL-vpn" protocol-id="6" policy-name="SSL" source-zone-name="intn" destination-zone-name="dmz" session-id-2="3341217" username="N/A" roles="N/A" packet-incoming-interface="eth0.1"]
+```
+
+**Desired Outcome:**
+
+1. Match on the incoming `message` field using a RegEx operator.
+2. Rewrite the entire message using the `values` contained in each of the original event's `keys` as well as the extra captured RegEx from this rule.
+3. Set the `program` name to `Juniper`.
+4. Create a second `match` condition and match on the `Juniper` program set in the first `match`.
+5. Use RegEx to find out if the `message` contains the word *reason*
+6. If it does contain a *reason* value, then add that *reason* to the message.
+
+
+```yaml
+rewrite_rules:
+- match:
+    field: message
+    op: "=~"
+    value: "(\\S+) (\\S+) \\S+ - RT_FLOW_(SESSION_\\w+)"
+  rewrite:
+    message: "$3 reason=${reason} src=${source-address} dst=${destination-address}
+      src-port=${source-port} dst-port=${destination-port} service=${service-name}
+      policy=${policy-name} nat-src=${nat-source-address} nat-src-port=${nat-source-port}
+      nat-dst=${nat-destination-address} nat-dst-port=${nat-destination-port} src-nat-rule=${src-nat-rule-name}
+      dst-nat-rule=${dst-nat-rule-name} protocol=${protocol-id} src-zone=${source-zone-name}
+      dst-zone=${destination-zone-name} session-id=${session-id-32} ingress-interface=${packet-incoming-interface}
+      $2 $1"
+    program: Juniper
+- match:
+  - value: Juniper
+    field: program
+  - value: "(.+?) reason= (.+)"
+    field: message
+  rewrite:
+    message: "$1 $2"
+```
+
+## Key-Value Custom Delimiters and Separators
+
+In LogZilla, KV pairs are detected using a default separator (the character separating each key from the value) as `=` and the default delimiter (the character on either end of the value) as `"`. For example: `key="value"`
+
+For custom environments where KV pairs may use something else, LogZilla rules may also be customized to accommodate by including a `kv` name in the rule definition itself, for example:
+
+```yaml
+rewrite_rules:
+- match:
+    field: message
+    op: "=~"
+    value: RT_FLOW_SESSION_\w+
+  rewrite:
+    message: "${reason}"
+  kv:
+    separator: ":"
+    delimiter: ''
+```
+
+The example above changes the kv separator to `:` and defines an empty delimiter, allowing the key-value parser to correctly recognize a `foo:bar` format instead of the default `key="value"` format.
+There are two rules that aren't customizable at the moment:
+1. Keys cannot contain non-alphanumeric characters except for `_` and `-`.
+2. `separator` cannot be an empty string.
+
+### Pair separator
+
+For more complex events you may want to split the message into pairs before looking for a specific key and value inside every part.
+To do so you can define a `pair_separator` inside the `kv` field.
+For values that can contain spaces and do not have any delimiter, this is the only way to correctly parse the message.
+For example, with the following message:
+
+```
+field1=some value,field2=other value
+```
+
+to get "some value" under `${field1}`, define a `kv` as follows:
+
+```yaml
+kv:
+  delimiter: ''
+  separator: "="
+  pair_separator: ","
+```
+
+> Note: you cannot define both an empty delimiter and empty pair_separator.
+
+
+## The `rewrite` keyword
+
+The `rewrite` keyword may also be used to "recall" any of:
+
+1. Message (the message itself)
+2. Host - The host name
+3. Program - The program name
+
+### `rewrite` Example
+
+```yaml
+rewrite:
+  message: "$PROGRAM run on $HOST: $MESSAGE"
+```
+
+## Dropping events - `drop` keyword
+
+To completely ignore events coming into LogZilla, use `"drop": true`.
+
+This can be used to remove noise and only focus on important events.
+
+> Note that `drop` cannot be used with any keyword except `match`.
+
+### Drop example
+
+The following example shows how to completely ignore diagnostic messages from a program called `thermald`.
+
+```yaml
+rewrite_rules:
+- match:
+  - field: program
+    value: thermald
+  - field: severity
+    op: ge
+    value: 6
+  drop: true
+```
+
+Operator `"ge"` means `greater or equal`, so it only drops events of severity 6 (informational) and 7 (debug).
+
+
+## Skipping after first match - `first_match_only` flag
+
+The `first_match_only` flag tells the Parser to stop trying to match events on each subsequent rule in that rule file after the first time it matches. This is useful when there is a need to rewrite a field based on an array of rules which are mutually exclusive. Additionally, using `first_match_only` can save a lot of processing time on larger files.
+
+> Note that this flag only affects the scope of *this* current rule file (not all JSON files in `/etc/logzilla/rules.d/`). Regardless of whether or not any of these rules match, other rule files which do make a match will still be applied.
+
+
+### Example
+
+* Because this is a large ruleset and there's no need to continue parsing after the first match, we use `first_match_only` to save processing time as we know the others won't match anyway.
+* The last rule is a catch-all. If no matches are made on the well-known ports defined above it, we tell the rule to set the tag to `dynamic`.
+* Note: the rule below has been truncated for brevity.
+
+```yaml
+first_match_only: true
+rewrite_rules:
+- match:
+    field: ut_dst_port
+    value: '1'
+  tag:
+    ut_dst_port: rtmp
+- match:
+    field: ut_dst_port
+    value: '60179'
+  tag:
+    ut_dst_port: fido
+- match:
+    field: ut_dst_port
+    op: "=~"
+    value: "^\\d+$"
+  tag:
+    ut_dst_port: dynamic
+```
+
+# Comma Separated Values, Tab Separated Values, Other Delimited
+
+When dealing with messages in a format of fields of defined order,
+separated with a single character, use a tokenize rule to easily rewrite them.  
+
+`separator` defaults to ',' so it can be skipped for csv messages.
+
+### Example
+
+  match:
+    field: message
+    value: palo alto
+  tokenize:
+    separator: ','
+    fields:
+      - incident
+      - device
+      - program
+      - source_port
+      - destination_port
+      - unused_field
+  rewrite:
+    message: ${incident},
+    program: PaloAlto-${program},
+  tag:
+    dst: ${destination_port}
+    src: ${source_port}
+
+Note: as indicated, the syntax for field reference is identical to key/value parser.
+Thus  `kv` with `tokenize` cannot be used together in one rule.  If both features are
+needed two consecutive rules should be used.
+
+# Extra Fields
+LogZilla event handling is based on syslog-ng basic fields (TS, PRI, MESSAGE, HOST, PROGRAM)
+plus additional (cisco_mnemonic, status, user_tags). To pass other fields and
+use them in rewrite rules extra fields can be used.
+Extra fields properties:
+
+    * read-only (cannot be added, modified, deleted)
+    * schema less/nested
+    * limited life (available only in parser and forwarder)
+    * does not affect cardinality and size of the events in storage
+
+Read-only `extra fields` can be used to provide other fields to parser rules.
+Extra fields can be nested::
+
+```yaml
+message: Test message
+host: testhost
+extra_fields:
+  foo:
+    content: 'Extra Content: Foo bar'
+    name: custom_program_name
+  baz:
+    id: '123'
+  some_list:
+  - host1
+  - host2
+  - host3
+```
+
+To extract nested values from extra fields, the dot-separated path to field
+value should be provided (``${extra:x.y.0``) :
+
+    {
+        "match": [
+            {
+                "field": "host",
+                "value": "testhost"
+            },
+            {
+                "field": "${extra:foo.bar}",
+                "value": "Extra Content:(\w+)"
+            }
+       ],
+        "rewrite": {
+            "message": "$MESSAGE $1", # "Test message Extra Content: Foo bar"
+            "program": "${extra:foo.name}", # "custom_program_name"
+            "host": "${extra:some_list.2}", # "host3"
+        },
+        "tag": {"sample_id": ${extra:baz.id} # "123"
+    }
+```yaml
+match:
+- field: host
+  value: testhost
+- field: "${extra:foo.bar}"
+  value: "Extra Content:(\w+)"
+rewrite:
+  # "Test message Extra Content: Foo bar"
+  message: "$MESSAGE $1"
+  # "custom_program_name"
+  program: "${extra:foo.name}"
+  # "host3"
+  host: "${extra:some_list.2}"
+tag:
+  sample_id:
+    # "123"
+    extra: baz.id
+```
+
+*Note that extra field values are always converted to "string"*
+
+
+# Syslog Structured Data
+
+Extra field are used as a placeholder for additional syslog-ng fields:
+
+    - SDATA - rfc5424 structured data (key/value)
+    - MGSID - message id (string)
+    - PID - pid (string)
+
+To use SDATA/MGSID/PID in the parser rule extra field accessors are used.
+Example raw line::
+
+"... host1 prog1 - ID47[exampleSDID@0 iut="3" eventSource="Application" eventID="1011"][examplePriority@0 class="high"] Message1"
+
+Parsed event::
+
+```yaml
+HOST: host1
+PROGRAM: prog1
+MESSAGE: Message1
+extra_fields:
+  PID: "-"
+  MSGID: ID47
+  SDATA:
+    exampleSDID@0:
+      iut: "3"
+      eventSource: Application
+      eventID: '1011'
+    examplePriority@0:
+      class: high
+```
+
+Usage in the parser rules::
+
+```yaml
+rewrite:
+  # "Message1 PriorityClass=high"
+  message: "$MESSAGE PriorityClass=${extra:SDATA.examplePriority@0.class}"
+  # "Application"
+  program: "${extra:SDATA.exampleSDID@0.eventSource}"
+tag:
+  # "1011"
+  eventID: ${extra:SDATA.eventID}
+```
+
+# Text Substitution
+
+To substitute a field text `replace` rules should be used.
+Replace rule configuration :
+
+    - `field` : field field (required)
+    - `expr` : substring regex (required)
+    - `fmt` : output text formatter (required)
+    - `ignore_case` : ignore case in expre (optional, default:true)
+    - `first_only` : replace only first expr occurrences (optional, default:false)
+
+Example `replace` section::
+
+```yaml
+replace:
+- field: message
+  expr: foo
+  fmt: bar
+- field: message
+  expr: Foo
+  fmt: bar
+  ignore_case: false
+- field: message
+  expr: Foo
+  fmt: bar
+  ignore_case: false
+  first_only: true
+- field: message
+  expr: \"
+  fmt: "\""
+- field: message
+  expr: "(\\w+)=(\\w+)"
+  fmt: "$2=$1"
+- field: message
+  expr: date=\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}(\s+)
+  fmt: ''
+- field: message
+  expr: "\\s+$"
+  fmt: ''
+```
+
+# Built-in Parser Rules
+
+LogZilla provides a small number of default, built-in rules that among other things handle:
+- rewriting the "program" field to the base (`/usr/sbin/cron` becomes `cron`)
+- setting "cisco_mnemonic" field for Cisco events
+- setting ip source and destination port in the event as tags
+- ignoring unnecessary programs (to increase the signal-to-noise ratio)
+
+# Rule Order
+
+* All JSON rules files contained in `lz_syslog:/etc/logzilla/rules.d/` are processed in alphabetical order.
+* The Rules contained in each file are processed sequentially.
+* If there are multiple rules with the same matching criteria, the last rule wins.
+
+## Rule Order Example
+
+**file1.yaml**
+
+```yaml
+rewrite_rules:
+- comment: rule1
+  match:
+    field: host
+    value: host_a
+  rewrite:
+    program: new_program_name
+```
+
+**file2.yaml**
+
+```yaml
+rewrite_rules:
+- comment: rule2
+  match:
+    field: host
+    value: host_a
+  rewrite:
+    program: new_program_name2
+```
+
+### Result
+
+Events matching the filters above will have the following properties.
+
+```yaml
+#### rule2
+program: "new_program_name2"#### rule2
+```
+
+
+### Testing
+A command line tool `logzilla rules` may be used to perform various functions including:
+
+* list   -             List rewrite rules
+* reload  -            Reload rewrite rules
+* add    -             Add rewrite rule
+* remove   -           Remove rewrite rule
+* enable   -           Enable rewrite rule
+* disable   -          Disable rewrite rule
+* performance   -      Test rules single thread performance
+
+To add your rule, simply type `logzilla rules add myfile.json`.
+
+When a new `json` or `yaml` file is added it will be read in, there is no need to restart LogZilla.

+# LogZilla Rules
+
+LogZilla Rules are how LogZilla can parse and rewrite log messages to extract
+the specific bits of useful information, as well as to rewrite the log message
+so that when you review the log messages the information shown is more useful
+to you. There are two types of LogZilla rules: rewrite rules, which are defined
+through simple `JSON`, `YAML`, or `LUA` rules, which are very powerful
+but are defined in lua programming language files. Both types of rules can be
+used at the same time, but be aware that lua rules are executed before rewrite
+rules, so that any data modifications or other actions taken by the lua rules
+will precede the execution of the rewrite rules.
+
+# Lua Rules

+</iframe>
+
+LogZilla’s powerful Lua rules open up a world of possibilities for
+customizing the way your network events are processed. By harnessing the
+flexibility of the Lua scripting language, you can create sophisticated
+rules tailored to your specific needs. Lua’s simplicity and versatility
+have made it a popular choice for application customization, and its
+integration with LogZilla enables you to take your event management to
+the next level.
+
+The use of LPEG (Lua Parsing Expression Grammar) within LogZilla Lua
+rules offers a more efficient approach to pattern matching compared to
+traditional regular expressions. LPEG allows for faster event processing
+rates (EPS), ensuring that your LogZilla system can handle large volumes
+of data without sacrificing performance. This not only streamlines your
+network event management but also helps to optimize your overall system
+resources.
+
+Creating LogZilla rules with Lua involves defining specific Lua
+functions and applying them to your LogZilla rules. This process enables
+you to achieve greater control over your network event management,
+giving you the power to create custom solutions that address your unique
+challenges. With LogZilla’s Lua rules, you can tailor your event
+processing to suit the specific requirements of your network
+infrastructure.
+
+LogZilla’s implementation of Lua rules revolves around several
+fundamental concepts. In the following sections, we will delve deeper
+into these ideas.
+
+Although Lua does support regular expressions, it is not advised to
+utilize them in this context. As an alternative, it is recommended to
+employ LPEG (Lua Parsing Expression Grammar), a more efficient
+pattern-matching technique specific to Lua. LPEG significantly enhances
+event processing rates (EPS or events-per-second) for LogZilla.
+
+You can find practical examples of these files in the subsequent
+“Examples” section.
+
+## Implementing and Testing LogZilla Lua Rules
+
+LogZilla requires two files for Lua “rewrite” rules: one containing
+the Lua logic for rule processing and another containing rule tests.
+The key element of the Lua rule file is a *process* function, that
+runs on every incoming log message.  The key elements of the tests
+file are one or more individual tests, consisting of the data
+describing the incoming log event, and then the event data that
+would result from processing the rule.  The tests file is mandatory,
+because it is critical in verifying that the rule behavior is as desired.
+
+Name these files similarly, such as `123-ruletitle.lua` for the Lua rule file and `123-ruletitle.tests.yaml` for the tests file (e.g., `123-mswindows.lua` and `123-mswindows.tests.yaml`).
+
+The Lua rule file is a plain text file containing only valid Lua code,
+while the tests file is a YAML text file describing a sample incoming
+log event and the expected event data after Lua rule processing.
+
+A simple example demonstrates replacing the `program` field value of an
+incoming event with `Unknown`. It’s recommended to write the tests file
+before the rule file to clarify the input and processing the rule must
+handle.
+
+When loading a new rule or testing it, LogZilla first verifies the Lua
+rule file’s validity, executes the `process` function within the Lua
+code, and provides the `event` function argument data as detailed in the
+tests file. LogZilla compares the modified `event` argument data with
+the tests file data, and if they match, the test is successful.
+
+Tests files are written in [YAML](https://yaml.org/). The required
+structure for the tests file is to begin with a `TEST_CASES` list of
+objects, each of which is a single test case. Each test case consists
+of two objects, the `event` describing what data would be in the 
+incoming event, and the `expect`, which indicates what the resultant
+event data would be after the rule runs.
+
+For more complex cases involving `extra_fields` (for JSON data) and
+`user_tags` (for user tags set by the rule), the elements are followed
+by indented lines with sub-fields or elements of that dictionary.
+
+In this straightforward example, the test file in valid YAML format
+appears as follows:
+
+    TEST_CASES:
+    - event:
+        program: "-"
+      expect:
+        program: Unknown
+
+This indicates that when the `program` field of a log event is `-`, the
+expected outcome after rule processing is for the `program` field to be
+`Unknown`.
+
+The Lua rule must include a function called `process` that takes a
+single argument, typically named `event`. This function is executed once
+for every log event encountered by LogZilla, with the log event as the
+`event` function argument.
+
+Considering the desired operation specified in the test file above, the
+corresponding rule file is:
+
+    function process(event)
+        event.program = 'Unknown'
+    end
+
+This Lua rule examines the `program` field of the log event. In all
+cases, the rule modifies the field to `Unknown`. This would not be
+a useful rule, it is just for demonstration purposes.
+
+This rule and its accompanying test file are now prepared for use and
+can be checked for accuracy and validity. You can do this by using the
+`logzilla rules test --path` command-line utility, as demonstrated
+below:
+
+    $ logzilla rules test --path tut1.lua
+    ================================== test session starts ==================================
+    platform linux -- Python 3.8.5, pytest-6.2.2, py-1.10.0, pluggy-0.13.1 -- /usr/bin/python3

+    rootdir: /tmp
+    collected 1 item
+
+    tut1.tests.yaml::test_case_1 PASSED                                              [100%]
+
+    ================================== 1 passed in 0.02s ===================================
+
+Upon executing the `rules test` command, LogZilla successfully validates
+the Lua code and confirms that the rule functions as expected.
+
+To demonstrate a *failure* in verifying the results of rule processing,
+you can modify the tests as follows (so that the rule’s execution will
+not yield the indicated test result):
+
+    TEST_CASES:
+    - event:
+        program: "-"
+      expect:
+        program: Unknown
+    - event:
+        program: syslog
+      expect:
+        program: syslog
+
+Now, when you run `logzilla rules test --path tut1.lua`, you’ll receive
+the following result:
+
+    $ logzilla rules test --path tut1.lua

+    ================================= 1 failed, 1 passed in 0.02s ==============================
+
+This result shows that the first test was successful, but the second one
+failed. The output displays the log event details before and after rule
+execution, along with a detailed explanation of the discrepancies
+between the expected and received results.
+
+In this example, to adjust the rule so that the given test passes, you
+can modify the rule as follows:
+
+``` lua
+function process(event)
+    if event.program == '-' then
+        event.program = 'Unknown'
+    end
+end
+```
+
+This alteration ensures that the rule only modifies the `program` field
+of the event when that program field is `-`. This will make the first
+test meet the condition and execute the conditional behavior, while the
+second test will not meet the condition, leaving the `program` field
+unchanged.
+
+Now, when tested, the rule will pass:
+
+    $ logzilla rules test --path tut1.lua
+    ================================== test session starts ==================================
+    platform linux -- Python 3.8.5, pytest-6.2.2, py-1.10.0, pluggy-0.13.1 -- /usr/bin/python3

+    rootdir: /tmp
+    collected 2 items
+
+    tut1.tests.yaml::test_case_1 PASSED                                              [ 50%]
+    tut1.tests.yaml::test_case_2 PASSED                                              [100%]
+
+    ================================== 2 passed in 0.02s ===================================
+
+At this point, you can add the rule to LogZilla:
+
+    $ logzilla rules add tut1.lua
+    Rule tut1 added and enabled
+    Reloading rules ...
+    Rules reloaded
+
+You can verify the addition:
+
+    $ logzilla rules list
+    Name            Source    Type    Status
+    --------------  --------  ------  --------
+    600-lz-program  system    lua     enabled
+    tut1            user      lua     enabled
+
+This process should be followed when implementing new rules: create the
+tests file, create the rule, test the rule, and add the rule. At this
+point, the rule will be active and will run upon receipt of every log
+message. If desired, you can perform further verification using the
+`logzilla sender` command to process actual (predefined) log messages
+and view the results in the LogZilla user interface.
+
+## Handling Errors
+
+There are three types of errors that can be encountered when adding new
+rules to LogZilla: the rule can be invalid Lua and be unable to be
+interpreted; the rule can result in a Lua execution failure while
+running (a *runtime* error), or the results of rule execution do not
+match the expected results as detailed in the tests file.
+
+### Invalid Lua Errors
+
+Invalid Lua errors are recognized when adding the rule. An example of
+such an error would be:
+
+``` lua
+junction process(event)
+    if event.program == '-' then
+        event.program = 'Unknown'
+    end
+end
+```
+
+This example states `junction` rather than `function`, causing the Lua
+interpreter to not understand the intent.
+
+Now, when testing or loading the rule, the following error would be
+received:
+
+    $ logzilla rules test --path err.lua

+the nature of the error (in this case, this is indicating that Lua is
+interpreting `junction` as a variable declaration and is expecting it to
+be followed by `=` and the variable value).
+
+Since the rule is not valid Lua, the tests file cannot be run (to
+determine if the expected results match those returned).
+
+## Handling Errors
+
+There are three types of errors that can be encountered when adding new
+rules to LogZilla: the rule can be invalid Lua and be unable to be
+interpreted; the rule can result in a Lua execution failure while
+running (a *runtime* error), or the results of rule execution do not
+match the expected results as detailed in the tests file.
+
+### Invalid Lua Errors
+
+Invalid Lua errors are recognized when adding the rule. An example of
+such an error would be:
+
+``` lua
+junction process(event)
+    if event.program == '-' then
+        event.program = 'Unknown'
+    end
+end
+```
+
+This example states `junction` rather than `function`, causing the Lua
+interpreter to not understand the intent.
+
+Now, when testing or loading the rule, the following error would be

+This output details the location and nature of the problem:
+
+    Error in rule /tmp/err.lua
+    -> junction process(event)
+
+shows the actual source code line with the problem, and
+`sol: syntax error: /tmp/err.lua:1: '=' expected near 'process'` details
+the nature of the error (in this case, this is indicating that Lua is
+interpreting `junction` as a variable declaration and is expecting it to
+be followed by `=` and the variable value).
+
+Since the rule is not valid Lua, the tests file cannot be run (to
+determine if the expected results match those returned).
+
+### Lua Execution Errors
+
+Lua execution errors are errors in which, although the Lua code is
+syntactically and grammatically correct and is “understood” by Lua,
+running the Lua rule results in an error or failure condition (before
+completion).
+
+An example of a Lua rule exhibiting this scenario:
+
+``` lua
+function process(event)
+    call_some_unexistent_function()
+    if event.program == '-' then
+        event.program = 'Unknown'
+    end
+end
+```
+
+As shown, `call_some_unexistent_function()` is understood by Lua to be a
+request for execution of that function, and thus is valid Lua. However,
+upon execution, since no such function was defined in the rule, Lua is
+unable to find and execute that function and is unable to complete
+execution.
+
+The following error would be received:
+
+    $ logzilla rules test --path err.lua

+and reason for the error, but also (for more advanced users) includes
+the “stack trace” showing the (nested) function execution resulting in
+the error.
+
+### Runtime Errors That Pass Tests
+
+In some scenarios, the rule will pass tests (including syntax/grammar,
+execution, and results validation), but when used “live,” it will result
+in errors.
+
+An example scenario would be similar to the above rule with the invalid
+function `call_some_unexistent_function()` but attempting to execute it
+only in certain conditions (in this case, a condition not exercised by
+the tests file, which reinforces the need for the tests file to check
+all “types” of log messages received by the rule):
+
+``` lua
+function process(event)
+    if event.program == "somespecialprogram" then
+        unknown_function()
+    end
+    if event.program == '-' then
+        event.program = 'Unknown'
+    end
+end
+```
+
+Because the error code was not executed during the test, this rule would
+be added and would go “live.” Then in “real” operation, it could result
+in errors. The fact that in-use errors are being encountered would be
+revealed by listing the rules, `logzilla rules list`:
+
+    $ logzilla rules list
+    Name           Source    Type    Status    Errors
+    -------------  --------  ------  --------  --------
+    err            user      lua     enabled   3
+
+This indicates that for all the events received by LogZilla (and
+processed by the rule), three of those events resulted in the rule
+failing.
+
+When rules failures are encountered “live,” the details of the errors
+encountered can be displayed using:
+
+    $ logzilla rules errors err
+    ======================================================================
+    Rule err, 3 errors in last hour:
+    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
+    Time: 2021-04-20 07:50:11
+
+    Event:
+        cisco_mnemonic: ''
+        counter: 1
+        facility: 0
+        first_occurrence: 1618905011.405836
+        host: Host1
+        id: 0
+        last_occurrence: 1618905011.405836
+        message: Message nr 1
+        program: fail
+        severity: 0
+        status: 0
+        user_tags: {}
+
+    Error:
+        /etc/logzilla/rules/user/err.lua:5: attempt to call global 'unknown_function' (a nil value)
+        stack traceback:
+                /etc/logzilla/rules/user/err.lua:5: in function </etc/logzilla/rules/user/err.lua:1>
+    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This provides the method for understanding the error so that it can be
+corrected.
+
+Note: For any given rule, LogZilla has a limit on the number of errors
+per hour that can be encountered before the rule is automatically
+disabled – by default, five errors per hour. Any rule that reaches this
+limit becomes disabled and will no longer be run for each incoming log
+event.
+
+The fact that rule execution has been disabled might be noticed in that
+any LogZilla display or trigger elements depending on that rule
+execution cease to work. In addition, the error condition can be
+manually revealed:
+
+    $ logzilla rules list
+    Name           Source    Type    Status    Errors
+    -------------  --------  ------  --------  --------
+    err            user      lua     disabled  5
+
+The rule failure would also be exhibited in LogZilla logs
+(`logzilla logs`):
+
+    2021-04-20 08:01:33.186795 [parsermodule] lz.parser WARNING Failure of rule err.lua on event Event({"id":0,"severity":1,"facility":0,"message":"Message nr 2","host":"Host2","program":"fail","cisco_mnemonic":"","first_occurrence":1618905692885420,"last_occurrence":1618905692885420,"counter":1,"status":0,"user_tags":{}}):
+    /etc/logzilla/rules/user/err.lua:5: attempt to call global 'unknown_function' (a nil value)
+    stack traceback:
+        /etc/logzilla/rules/user/err.lua:5: in function </etc/logzilla/rules/user/err.lua:1>
+    2021-04-20 08:01:34.108472 [parsermodule/1] lz.ParserModule WARNING Reached limit of errors in rule err (limit: 5, errors: 5),  disabling rule.
+
+When the rule is corrected (in this example possibly by providing the
+missing `unknown_function()`), the rule can be re-added to LogZilla, to
+update that rule and re-enable it: `logzilla rules add myrule.lua -f` to
+add the rule, resulting in:
+
+    $ logzilla rules list
+    Name           Source    Type    Status    Errors
+    -------------  --------  ------  --------  --------
+    err            user      lua     enabled   -
+
+In unusual circumstances, the rule can be re-enabled without changing
+it, using `logzilla rules enable` - this will also reset the error
+counter and clean the error log for the given rule (the old error
+messages would still be available via `logzilla logs`).
+
+Finally, the error limit can be configured by the
+`logzilla config RULE_ERROR_LIMIT` command, which sets the rate (per
+hour) of failures that result in disabling of the rule (as mentioned,
+this value is 5 by default).

+## Lua Resources
+There are resources for Lua available that will be helpful in understanding the following descriptions of LogZilla Lua rule usage.  An in-depth examination of this information is not necessary at this point but the detailed breakdown will make more sense after at least a cursory review. For creating these Lua rules Lua version 5.1 is supported.

+## Reference
+
+### Lua Rule File
+
+The Lua rule file is a plain text file that consists only of valid Lua code.  The naming convention is `123-sourceortype.lua`, where `123` provides a numeric ordering for the sequence in which LogZilla processes rules on incoming log events;  `sourceortype` corresponds to some indication of the source or type of log message handled by the rule (this could be `cisco_ise` or `mswindows` for example), and then the `.lua` extension.
+
+First of note is that Lua rule files benefit from including comments, which are lines that are prefixed with `--`.  The example includes many such for explanatory purposes.
+
+Second, there are many utility functions provided by the LogZilla Lua interpreter that assist with logic within the Lua rule function.  These utility functions are described in the *Lua Utility Functions* section below.
+
+Somewhere in the Lua rule file (in this case, at the top) should be the declaration of any *high-cardinality* user tags that are going to be assigned.  "High cardinality" indicates that there will be a great many individual values for those user tags, for which maintaining indexes of that data will require special handling.  Examples of such data include source and destination IP addresses, which could possibly include thousands of "random" internet IP addresses.
+
+LogZilla needs to be alerted to user tags that meet this condition.  This is done by setting the `HC_TAGS` table to include the user tag names for such user tags.  (This is the section of the example that starts with `HC_TAGS={`).
+
+Similary, if your app is using computationaly expensive functions, you can
+allow source filtering by defining `SOURCE_FILTER="foo"` in your rule file.
+Then user can create a dedicated syslog source for events that should be
+processed by this rule - then only events from this source will be processed by
+this rule. See [Source Filtering](/help/receiving_data/receiving_syslog_events)
+for more information.
+
+Near the top of the Lua file should ordinarily be statements "importing" any of the utility libraries or functions just mentioned (in this case `local core = require "lpeg_patterns.core`, also `local IPV4_EXP = require "lpeg_common".IPv4_simple`).  There is a list of some of the libraries and functions provided by LogZilla listed in the *Utility Functions* reference below.
+
+After any utility libraries or functions are imported should be the definitions of any LPEG expressions that are to be used in the rule function.  As described in the LPEG reference links above these expressions are composed of multiple LPEG clauses that together match the incoming log messages and break those log messages down into their constituent parts, for further handling. (This is the section of the example that starts with `local SEP_EXP = lpeg.S(", \t")` and continues on through `local INFOBLOX_DNSQUERY_EXP = lpeg.Ct(`).
+
+The main portion of the Lua rule file is the Lua function that does the handling of each incoming log message.  This function is executed once per every incoming log message.  This function must be named `process` and takes a single argument, which argument corresponds to a Lua object that holds all the relevant information regarding that incoming log message. (This section of the example starts with `function process(event)`).
+
+This function's purpose is to inspect the log message *event* data that is coming in from the incoming log message and to rewrite that event data for storage or display by LogZilla.  As such, the `event` object that is the argument to the `process` function should be modified as desired for that purpose -- rather than the function returning any value, the function "result" is the modification of that `event` object.
+
+There are multiple constituent fields of the `event` argument (please note that most of these fields correspond to the data that would come in on a standard syslog-protocol log message - (RFC3164 format)[https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3164] (RFC5424 format)[https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5424]) .  These fields are read-write (for the same `event` argument the function should read in the incoming log event data then write out the desired data to be stored/displayed).
+
+| Field | Explanation |
+| --- | --- |
+| `message` | the text log message portion of the incoming log event data |
+| `program` | the `program` field of the incoming log data (such as per `syslog` log format) |
+| `host` | the source host of the log data (such as per `syslog` log format) |
+| `timestamp` | the date and time of the log event, in (unix epoch)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time] microseconds |
+| `severity` | as per syslog, the numeric severity value of the log event |
+| `facility` | as per syslog, the numeric facility value of the log event |
+| `cisco_mnemonic` | event Cisco mnemonic, if available |
+| `extra_fields` | JSON fields from incoming JSON log messages (see below) |
+| `user_tags` | the Lua table (or dictionary) of the user tag key/values to be set (see below) |
+
+
+Two of the log message formats LogZilla can accept are *syslog* formatted messages (as referenced above) and *JSON* formatted messages (using standard JSON format). 
+
+For syslog messages, the incoming data is broken down into the fields listed above (
+`event.program`, `event.host`, `event.timestamp`, etc.)
+
+For JSON messages all the incoming JSON fields are put into `extra_fields` in the `event` object.  For example, this JSON would result in the event fields that follow:
+```
+{
+  "host": "source.company.com",
+  "program": "myprogram",
+  "message": "this is the text of the log message",
+  "timestamp": TODO timestamp value,
+  "somekey": "somevalue"
+}
+```
+
+Event fields:
+
+```
+event.extra_fields["host"]
+event.extra_fields["program"]
+event.extra_fields["message"]
+event.extra_fields["timestamp"]
+event.extra_fields["somekey"]
+```
+
+Please note that for syslog messages the log data is placed directly into the LogZilla event fields, from which it can be used (displayed and stored) without requiring any handling or modification.
+
+However for JSON data only the `host` and `timestamp` fields are directly set, without modification -- the `host` field corresponding to the sending host from which the log message was received, and the timestamp corresponding to LogZilla's receipt of that message.  **Any** of the other LogZilla event fields must be set in the Lua rule by reading the JSON `extra_fields` and accordingly setting the `event` fields from that data.  In the JSON example given above the likely desired behavior would be that `event.program = event.extra_fields["program"]`.
+
+Each rule must specify a `process()` function; however `preprocess(event)` and `postprocess(event)` functions can also be provided.  These functions are used as follows: first for every rule the preprocess function is called (if it exists), then for every rule there’s call to process and finally for every rule there’s call to the postprocess. If any of the functions are not defined they are skipped without any error or warning.
+
+Although the main purpose of each rule is to modify the contents of the `event` argument to reflect the desired results, the `process` (and `preprocess` and `postprocess`) functions can return special values indicating desired handling:
+* `Result.CONTINUE` : (this is default) - continue processing with other rules
+* `Result.STOP` : stop processing this stage, so if for example this is returned by the process function, then no other process will be called, but all postprocess (if any defined) will be called normally.
+* `Result.DROP` : event will be deleted and any further processing will be stopped (as pointless)
+
+Debugging of Lua rule files can be assisted by the use of the `print` command.  The `print()` command allows the display of specified values during the execution of the rule, to provide for inspection of those values at various stages of event processing. An example:
+
+```
+function process(event)
+     print("Starting processing, program=" .. event.program)
+     if event.program == '-' then
+         print("Inside the if block")
+         event.program = 'Unknown'
+     end
+     print("Finishing processing, program=" .. event.program)
+ end
+```
+
+`print()` takes one argument which is the string to be printed; furthermore the `..` operator can be used to concatenate multiple strings and variables (such as demonstrated in the second `print()` statement above).
+
+Now when running the tests each `print()` will be displayed:
+
+```
+$ logzilla rules test --path err.lua

+```
+
+Note `print()` should only be used during *testing* of the rule; every `print()` statement should be removed before adding the rule to LogZilla.
+
+
+### Utility Functions
+There are many utility expressions and functions provided by LogZilla for use in Lua rules.  Here is a list of some of the expressions provided:
+
+For the following note that if you `local core = require "lpeg_patterns.core"` at the top of the rule then you would use for example `ALPHA` as `core.ALPHA`.  The LPEG expressions below are described in terms of their equivalent regular expressions.
+
+LPEG expressions in `lpeg_patterns.core`:
+
+| LPEG | Regular Expression |
+| --- | --- |
+| `ALPHA` | `[a-zA-Z]` |
+| `BIT` | `[01]` |
+| `CHAR` | `[\x01-\x7F]` |
+| `CR` | `\r` |
+| `CRLF` | `(\r\n)` |
+| `CTL` | `[\x00-\x1F\x7F]` |
+| `DIGIT` | `[0-9]` |
+| `DQUOTE` | `\"` |
+| `HEXDIG` | `[0-9a-fA-F]` |
+| `HTAB` | `\t` |
+| `LF` | `\n` |
+| `OCTET` | `.` |
+| `SP` | ` ` |
+| `VCHAR` | `[\x21-\x7E]`
+| `WSP` | `[ \t]` |
+| `LWSP` | `( \r\n )*`
+
+
+In `lpeg_common`:
+
+| LPEG | Explanation | Examples |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `IPv4_WITH_PORT` | numeric IP v4 address followed by either `:` or `/` followed by numeric port number | `87.65.43.210:443`, `87.65.43.210/443` |
+| `IPv6_WITH_PORT` | hexadecimal IP v6 address followed by either `:` or `/` followed by numeric port number | `12:34:56:78:9A:BC:DE:F0:443`, `12:34:56:78:9A:BC:DE:F0/443` |
+| `IP_WITH_PORT` | either of `IPv4_WITH_PORT` or `IPv6_WITH_PORT` | `87.65.43.210:443`, `12:34:56:78:9A:BC:DE:F0/443` |
+| `MAC_ADDR` | hexadecimal MAC address | `11:22:33:44:55:66` |
+| `IPv4_simple` | standard 4-part-separated-by-periods numeric IP address | `87.65.43.210` |
+| `PROTOCOL` | network protocol | `TCP`, `tcp`, `UDP`, `udp` |
+
+In `helpers`:
+
+* `get_port_name(port)`: returns the port service name for the given numeric port, such as `get_port_name(22)` returns `ssh` and `get_port_name(443)` returns `https`
+* `get_kv_parser(sep_sign, delimiter_sign, quote_sign, key_pattern)` : returns an LPEG expression that parses key-value pairs (such as `firstkey="firstvalue", secondkey="secondvalue"`) into a Lua key-value table.  The function arguments are: `sep_exp` is the separator expression, such as `lpeg.P(" ")` for space or `lpeg.P(",")` for comma; `delimiter_sign` is the key-to-value indicator, such as `lpeg.P("=")` for `=`; `quote_sign` is the quote character surrounding values, such as `lpeg.P("'")` or `lpeg.P("\"")` for `'` or `"`; and key_pattern expresses the valid values for the key name, such as `lpeg.R("az", "AZ", "09") + lpeg.P("_")` or in regex terms `[azAz09_]`
+* `get_csv_parser()`: returns an LPEG expression that parses comma-separated values (CSV), such as `firstvalue, secondvalue, thirdvalue`, into a Lua table
+* `get_ip_with_port(o)`: uses the above `IP_WITH_PORT` LPEG expression to parse `o` into a two-value Lua table consisting of `ip` and `port` parts
+* `get_GeoIP()`: returns a geo-ip converter that allows to:
+    * `geoip:get_values(ip_address)` - extract data such as city / state / country from the given IP address:
+        * returns the map containing City, Country and State
+        * returns the empty map if given ip is not valid IP address or geoip data can't be
+        found
+    * `geoip:add_geo_tags(event, user_tag)` - add extra GeoIP user tags based on the selected user tag:
+        * adds a set of geoip user tags to the event
+        * new geoip user tags consist of the original tag name and City/Country/State postfix
+        * no tags are added if given user tag value is not valid IP address or
+        geoip data can't be found
+
+```
+    geoip = get_GeoIP()
+
+    function process(event)
+        -- add "ScrIP City", "ScrIP Country", "ScrIP State" user tags to the event
+        geoip:add_geo_tags(event, "ScrIP")
+
+        -- extract geo-ip City/Contry/State from the host
+        local geoip_data = geoip:get_values(event.host)
+        if geoip_data["City"] ~= nil then
+            event.program = geoip_data["City"]
+        end
+    end
+```
+
+Note that there is a help video available for geoip use
+[here](https://youtu.be/3EKapGYf46w).

+# User Tags
+
+User tags offer the capability to extract specific portions of incoming
+messages as metadata. Once extracted, this metadata can then be

+applications and benefits of using User Tags:
+
+- **Enhance Visibility**: User tags can accentuate specific logs or
+  events, ensuring they stand out, especially within a dense dashboard.
+  This highlighting is particularly useful during critical incidents or
+  when monitoring specific parameters.
+
+- **Improve Organization**: By applying user tags, logs and events can
+  be grouped based on common criteria. This organization fosters a more
+  structured and user-friendly dashboard layout, making data
+  interpretation quicker and more intuitive.
+
+- **Customize Data Views**: Personalization is at the heart of user
+  tags. Users have the autonomy to design dashboard views that spotlight
+  only the tagged data points they deem essential, filtering out
+  potential noise.
+
+- **Narrow Down Results**: Searching within a vast dataset can be
+  challenging. However, by inputting a specific tag into the search
+  query, users can concentrate the results, displaying only those logs
+  or events associated with the chosen tag. This precision drastically
+  reduces the time spent searching.
+
+- **Speed Up Searches**: Efficiency is crucial, especially in real-time
+  monitoring. Tag-based searches expedite the search process by
+  sidestepping irrelevant data, offering users the results they need
+  without delay.
+
+- **Create Complex Queries**: For those situations requiring a more
+  detailed search, user tags can be amalgamated with other search
+  criteria. This fusion enables users to devise intricate search
+  queries, tailored to fetch exact data subsets.
+
+- **Apply Precision Filters**: Filtering is an essential tool in data
+  management. With user tags, users can employ sharp, precise filters,
+  ensuring the display of only the most relevant logs or events.
+
+- **Combine with Other Filters**: User tags are versatile and can be
+  melded with other filtering criteria. This integration results in a
+  comprehensive filtering experience, catering to even the most specific
+  data needs.
+
+- **Set Up Alerts**: Being promptly informed can make all the
+  difference. With user tags, the system can be configured to dispatch
+  email alerts when particular tagged events transpire, ensuring users
+  are always in the loop.
+
+# Extracting Insight From Arbitrary Data
+
+LogZilla’s User Tags facilitate the extraction and transformation of any
+arbitrary data from incoming events, granting users the ability to
+derive valuable insights from a variety of metrics. These metrics
+include:
+
+- Device types
+- Users
+- Locations
+- GeoIP
+- Authentication Failures
+- Audit Log Tracking
+- Malware Types/Sources/Destinations
+
+The scope of what can be captured through User Tags extends well beyond
+this list, given LogZilla’s [rule
+parser](/help/data_transformation/rewrite_rules) capabilities.
+Essentially, “User Tags” enable the extraction and tracking of any
+information that can provide insights into daily operations across
+NetOps, SecOps, DevOps, and other operational domains.
+
+Consider the incoming events:
+
+    %AUTHPRIV-3-SYSTEM_MSG: pam_aaa:Authentication failed for user bob from 10.87.8.1
+    Log-in failed for user 'agents' from 'ssh'
+
+From these logs, one might want to extract and monitor the usernames and
+their source addresses:
+
+- Create a rule named `100-auth-fail-tracking.yaml`
+- Incorporate the desired pattern match and user tag
+- Configure the rule to label this event as `actionable` (it’s worth
+  noting that statuses can also be designated as `non-actionable`).
+
+``` yaml
+  rewrite_rules:
+    -
+      comment: "Auth Fail User Tracking"
+      match:
+        field: "message"
+        op: "=~"
+        value: "for (?:user)? '?([^\\s']+)'? from '?([^\\s']+)'?"
+      tag:
+        Auth Fail User: "$1"
+        Auth Fail Source: "$2"
+      rewrite:
+        status: "actionable"
+```
+
+- Incorporate the new rule using
+  `logzilla rules add 100-auth-fail-tracking.yaml`
+- Add a `TopN` widget to any dashboard (e.g., `Top Hosts`) and modify
+  that widget to select the newly created user tag field, combined with
+  other widget filters, such as “Program” set to specific sources like
+  “Cisco”:
+
+**User Tags Field Selector**
+
+<figure>
+<img src="@@path/images/ut_field_select.jpg" alt="UT Field Select" />
+<figcaption aria-hidden="true">UT Field Select</figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+- The `TopN` chart will subsequently display the top 5 *Client
+  Usernames*.
+
+**Top Auth Fail Usernames chart**
+

+<img src="@@path/images/authfail_user_topn.png"
+alt="Failed User Auth" />
+<figcaption aria-hidden="true">Failed User Auth</figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+## Match/Update Based on Previously Created Tags
+
+LogZilla also provides the functionality to set custom tags and
+subsequently use those tags within the same or different rule files. If
+utilizing a tag-based match/update, it is imperative to generate the tag
+beforehand.
+
+For instance:
+
+**001-cisco-acl.yaml** - Construct the tag based on a message match:
+
+``` yaml
+  rewrite_rules:
+    -
+      comment:
+        - "Extract denied List Name, Protocol and Port Numbers from Cisco Access List logs"
+        - "Sample Log: Oct 4 22:33:40.985 UTC: %SEC-6-IPACCESSLOGP: list PUBLIC_INGRESS denied tcp 201.166.237.25(59426) -> 212.174.130.30(23), 1 packet"
+      match:
+        field: "message"
+        op: "=~"
+        value: "list (\\S+) denied (\\S+) \\d+\\.\\d+\\.\\d+\\.\\d+\\((\\d+)\\).+?\\d+\\.\\d+\\.\\d+\\.\\d+\\((\\d+)\\)"
+      tag:
+        Deny Name: "$1"
+        Deny Protocol: "$2"
+        Deny Source Port: "$3"
+        Deny Dest Port: "$4"
+```
+
+**002-port-to-name.yaml** - Utilize the tag established in
+`001-cisco-acl.yaml` to map port numbers to their respective names:
+
+``` yaml
+  first_match_only: true
+  rewrite_rules:
+    -
+      comment: "Match on previously created Cisco ACL tags and convert the port numbers extracted stored in that same tag to a name for ports 22, 23, 80 and 443"
+      match:
+        field: "Deny Dest Port"
+        value: "22"
+      tag:
+        Deny Dest Port: "ssh"
+    -
+      match:
+        field: "Deny Dest Port"
+        value: "23"
+      tag:
+        Deny Dest Port: "telnet"
+    -
+      match:
+        field: "Deny Dest Port"
+        value: "80"
+      tag:
+        Deny Dest Port: "http"
+    -
+      match:
+        field: "Deny Dest Port"
+        value: "443"
+      tag:
+        Deny Dest Port: "https"
+```
+
+**Example 2**
+
+The following example assumes that a previous rule file (or even an
+earlier rule in the same file) has already created the `SU Sessions`
+user tag.
+
+The rule below instructs the system to match on `SU Sessions` and set
+the `program` to `su`. However, this action is only performed if the
+matched
+
+value does not equate to an empty string (blank messages).
+
+``` yaml
+  rewrite_rules:
+    -
+      comment: "Track su sessions"
+      match:
+        field: "SU Sessions"
+        op: "ne"
+        value: ""
+      rewrite:
+        program: "su"
+```
+
+# Makemeta
+
+A helper script located on our GitHub is available to be used to create rules automatically using a tab separated file as input.
+You can [download the script here](https://github.com/logzilla/extras/tree/master/contrib/makemeta)
+
+## Input fields
+
+The `.tsv` (*tab-separated-values*) file must contain at least 6 columns
+
+### Columns 1-4
+Columns 1-4 must be:
+
+```
+addtag	matchString	matchField	matchOp
+```
+For example
+
+```
+1	10.1.2.3	host	eq
+```
+
+##### Column 1
+Indicates whether or not (0 or 1) a user tag should also be created for this entry
+
+##### Column 2
+The string you want to match on, for example: `my.host.com` or `foo bar baz`
+
+##### Column 3
+The field to match on in LogZilla, such as `host`, `program`, `message`, etc.
+
+##### Column 4
+
+Defines the match Operator to use. Options are:
+
+
+| Operator | Match Type        | Description                                                                                   |
+|----------|-------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| eq       | String or Integer | Matches entire incoming message against the string/integer specified in the `match` condition |
+| ne       | String or Integer | Does *not* match anything in the incoming message `match` field.                              |
+| gt       | Integer Only      | Given integer is greater than the incoming integer value                                      |
+| lt       | Integer Only      | Given integer is less than the incoming integer value                                         |
+| ge       | Integer Only      | Given integer is greater than or equal to the incoming integer value                          |
+| le       | Integer Only      | Given integer is less than or equal to the incoming integer value                             |
+| =~       | RegEx             | Match based on RegEx pattern                                                                  |
+| !~       | RegEx             | Does *not* match based on RegEx pattern                                                       |
+| =*       | RegEx             | RegEx appears anywhere in the incoming message                                                |
+
+
+### Columns 5 and greater
+All columns after column 4 are key-value pairs to be added.
+For example, given the following entire row in a file:
+
+```
+1	10.1.2.3	host	eq	deviceID	rtp-core-sw	DeviceDescription	RTP Core Layer2	DeviceImportance	High	DeviceLocation	Raleigh	DeviceContact	support@logzilla.net
+```
+Columns 5-14 will be separated into `key="value"` pairs, like so:
+
+```
+Key = DeviceImportance, value = High
+Key = DeviceDescription, value = RTP Core Layer2
+Key = DeviceLocation, value = Raleigh
+Key = deviceID, value = rtp-core-sw
+Key = DeviceContact, value = support@logzilla.net
+```
+Please make sure you have a value for every key. i.e., don't have something like:
+
+```
+1	10.1.2.3	host	eq	deviceID	rtp-core-sw	DeviceDescription	RTP Core Layer2	DeviceImportance	High	DeviceLocation	Raleigh	DeviceContact
+```
+(missing support@logzilla.net at the end)
+
+This would produce errors when the perl script runs, e.g.:
+
+```
+Odd number of elements in hash assignment at ./makemeta line 60, <$fh> line 4.
+Use of uninitialized value $kvs{"DeviceContact"} in string comparison (cmp) at ./makemeta line 78, <$fh> line 4.
+Use of uninitialized value $kvs{"DeviceContact"} in string comparison (cmp) at ./makemeta line 78, <$fh> line 4.
+Use of uninitialized value $kvs{"DeviceContact"} in string comparison (cmp) at ./makemeta line 78, <$fh> line 4.
+Use of uninitialized value $kvs{"DeviceContact"} in string eq at ./makemeta line 80, <$fh> line 4.
+```
+
+
+## Usage
+
+```
+./makemeta
+    Usage:
+    makemeta
+    -debug [-d] <1 or 2>
+    -format [-f] (json or yaml - default: yaml)
+    -infile [-i] (Input filename, e.g.: test.tsv)
+    Sample test.tsv file:
+    1 <TAB> host-a <TAB> host <TAB> eq <TAB> deviceID <TAB> lax-srv-01 <TAB> DeviceDescription <TAB> LA Server 1
+```
+
+## User Tags
+If column 1 on your `.tsv` contains a `1`, user tags will also be created for every key/value pair. As such, you will now see these fields available in your widgets. For example, the following rule:
+
+```
+ - match:
+      - field: host
+        op: eq
+        value: host-a
+    tag:
+      metadata_importance: High
+      metadata_roles: Core
+      metadata_locations: Los Angeles
+    update:
+      message: $MESSAGE DeviceDescription="LA Server 1" DeviceLocation="Los Angeles" DeviceImportance="Low" deviceID="lax-srv-01" DeviceContact="support@logzilla.net"
+  - match:
+      - field: message
+        op: =~
+        value: down
+    update:
+      message: $MESSAGE DeviceImportance="Med" DeviceDescription="NYC Router" DeviceLocation="New York" deviceID="nyc-rtr-01" DeviceContact="support@logzilla.net"
+```
+
+
+Will produce fields available similar to the screenshot below:
+##### Screenshot: Available Fields
+
+![Usertag Fields](@@path/images/user-tag-fields.jpg)
+
+
+
+# Caveats/Warnings
+
+* Tag names are free-form allowing any alphabetic characters. Once a message matches the pattern, the tag is automatically created in the API, then made available in the UI. If a tag is created but does not show up in the UI, it may simply mean there have been no matches on it yet. (note: users may want to try a browser refresh to ensure a non-cached page is loaded).
+
+* Any `_`'s in the tag name will be converted to a `space character` when displayed in the UI.
+
+* Tagging highly variable data may result in degradation or even failure of metrics tracking (not log storage/search) based on the capability of your system. This is due to cardinality limitations in InfluxDB. [The following article](http://puyuan.github.io/influxdb-tag-cardinality-memory-performance) outlines this limitation in more detail.
+
+NOTE: certain user tag names are reserved for LogZilla internal use, and
+cannot be used as user tags; in these cases you will need to choose an
+alternative (a simple option would be to prefix the field name with `ut_`).
+The reserved names are:
+* `first_occurrence`
+* `last_occurrence`
+* `counter`
+* `message`
+* `host`
+* `program`
+* `cisco_mnemonic`
+* `severity`
+* `facility`
+* `status`
+* `type`
+
+> <font color="red">CAUTION:</font> Care should be taken to keep the number of tags below 1m entries per tag.
+
+# Tag Performance
+
+Performance, especially in data-intensive environments, is paramount.
+When manipulating large streams of data, the potential for performance
+degradation increases. Several factors can contribute to performance
+dips, including CPU limitations, Memory constraints, Disk I/O, and the
+manner in which rules are presented to the parsing engine.
+
+## Ensuring Good Rule Performance
+
+Crafting large rulesets often demands a thoughtful approach to
+performance. One strategy is the use of a **precheck** match. Before
+delving into complex regular expression matches, it’s advisable to use a
+preliminary string match. In this context, the term **precheck** doesn’t
+refer to a specialized type; it’s essentially the same syntax as a
+**match** type. However, instead of using the regex-based `=~`, it uses
+the string match `eq`. This preliminary check ensures that generic regex
+patterns don’t mistakenly match unintended messages.
+
+Consider the following example:
+
+##### Sample “pre-match”
+
+``` yaml
+rewrite_rules:
+- comment:
+  - 'Vendor: HP Aruba'
+  - 'Type: Hardware'
+  - 'Category: 802.1x'
+  - 'Description: This log event informs the number of auth timeouts for the last known time for 802.1x authentication method.'
+  - 'Sample Log: <NUMBER_OF> auth-timeouts for the last <TIME> sec.'
+  match:
+  - field: message
+    op: eq
+    value: auth-timeouts for the last
+  - field: message
+    op: =~
+    value: \S+ auth-timeouts \S+ \S+ \S+ \S+ sec .*
+  rewrite:
+    program: HP_Switch
+  tag:
+    category: 802.1x
+    type: hardware
+    vendor: HP
+```
+
+### Bad Regex
+
+Crafting efficient regex is vital. When dealing with thousands of rules,
+the efficiency of each regex pattern can substantially impact
+performance. Referring to the earlier example, it’s evident that a
+**prematch** isn’t strictly necessary (it’s used primarily for
+demonstration). A more efficient approach would skip the prematch and
+employ an optimized regex pattern like
+`\\S+ auth-timeouts for the last \\S+ sec`.
+
+> For best results, use tools like [RegEx101](https://regex101.com) to
+> validate regex patterns and assess their efficiency.
+
+### Testing
+
+LogZilla provides a command-line utility, `logzilla rules`, that offers
+a suite of functionalities:
+
+- list - List rewrite rules
+- reload - Reload rewrite rules
+- add - Add rewrite rule
+- remove - Remove rewrite rule
+- export - Save rule to file
+- enable - Enable rewrite rule
+- disable - Disable rewrite rule
+- errors - Display rules with errors, including counts
+- performance - Assess single thread performance of rules
+- test - Verify the validity and correct operation of a rule
+
+To incorporate your rule, simply execute:
+`logzilla rules add myfile.yaml`
+
+## Tag Naming
+
+Tag names in LogZilla are free-form, accommodating any alphabetic
+characters. When a message matches a specified pattern, the
+corresponding tag is instantly created in the API and subsequently
+becomes accessible in the UI. If a tag doesn’t appear in the UI, it
+might indicate that no matches have been found for it yet. Refreshing
+the browser can help display the most recent changes.
+
+LogZilla’s recommended approach to user tag naming falls under two main
+categories. The first category encompasses the most common data fields
+typically found in event log messages:
+
+| User Tag  | Example                                   | Meaning                                                                 |
+|-----------|-------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `SrcIP`   | `127.0.0.1`                               | Source IPv4 address                                                     |
+| `SrcIPv6` | `2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334` | Source IPv6 address                                                     |
+| `DstIP`   | `11.22.33.44`                             | Destination IPv4 address                                                |
+| `DstIPv6` | `2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334` | Destination IPv6 address                                                |
+| `SrcPort` | `dynamic`                                 | Source port (descriptive abbreviation or `dynamic` if unspecified)      |
+| `DstPort` | `https`                                   | Destination port (descriptive abbreviation or `dynamic` if unspecified) |
+| `Proto`   | `TCP`                                     | Communications protocol (typically `TCP`, `UDP`, or `ICMP`)             |
+| `MAC`     | `00:00:5e:00:53:af`                       | MAC address                                                             |
+| `IfIn`    | `enp8s0`                                  | Interface in                                                            |
+| `IfOut`   | `enp8s0`                                  | Interface out                                                           |
+
+The second category pertains to all other tags not listed above. These
+tag names usually mirror the vendor field names. This approach ensures
+that individuals familiar with specific vendor log messages can
+seamlessly identify corresponding LogZilla user tags:
+
+| Vendor Field and User Tag | Meaning          |
+|---------------------------|------------------|
+| `act`                     | Action taken     |
+| `cat`                     | Category         |
+| `cnt`                     | Count            |
+| `dhost`                   | Destination host |
+| `dvchost`                 | Device host      |
+
+By maintaining consistency with vendor field names, LogZilla enhances
+the user experience and ensures a smooth transition for those accustomed
+to vendor-specific terminologies.
+
+# Caveats/Warnings
+
+LogZilla’s User Tags bring flexibility and power to data management, but
+users should be mindful of certain caveats and warnings to ensure
+optimal system performance and prevent unintended results:
+

+# Preduplication Engine 
+
+LogZilla's preduplication™ engine enables events to be forwarded and is a vital component for large network data management. This module allows customers to specify a "hold timer" (and optional match of specific events) which will forward a single event to a downstream receiver along with metadata about the number of times it happened in a given time period.
+
+##### LogZilla Pre-Dup™ Algorithm and Process
+
+![LogZilla Dedup Module](@@path/images/predup-engine-tm-1080x608.jpg)
+
+In large networks, this capability saves companies millions due to the fact that when things go wrong, Network Devices, Firewalls, Servers, and Applications all generate more events more often. Because the original design for syslog was UDP-based, it also means they will send the same event repeatedly in the hopes that "something" is listening.
+
+Take the following real-world "event storm" example:
+
+##### Event Storm
+![Duplex Storm](@@path/images/duplex_storm.jpg)
+
+As seen, almost 1 Billion events were generated in a very short time. 
+
+On the right side, LogZilla shows 70k to 90k of the same events being generated every minute. 
+
+By using the LogZilla forwarding module, companies can still generate the information needed by downstream receivers without fear of degrading performance of those systems. 
+
+In the case of the event storm above, the downstream receivers would have **received 4 events instead of 308,642**, but those 4 events would have had a count of the number of times the event was generated. 
+
+# Forwarding Options
+
+LogZilla NEO can forward events as a log or a trap, no matter how that event came into the system. For example, an incoming log can be sent as an SNMP Trap and an incoming SNMP Trap can be forwarded as a log. The same holds true for any incoming event type such as direct API inserts, webhooks, piped text, etc.

+
+# Downstream Syslog Receivers
+
+The Forwarder module allows LogZilla to forward all or specific matched events to
+downstream log receivers. These destinations are not limited to `syslog` receivers;
+the module also supports `file`, `splunk-hec`, and `snmp` destinations.
+
+## Enable the Module
+
+To enable the Forwarder Module, enter the following command in the
+LogZilla server's console/ssh terminal:
+
+```bash
+logzilla config FORWARDER_ENABLED 1
+```
+
+### Forwarder Configuration Files
+
+LogZilla uses a main forwarder configuration file, which contains configuration
+options that take effect for all forwarders, and can contain definitions for one
+or more specific individual forwarders. LogZilla also allows individual forwarder
+configurations for multiple forwarding rules to be separated into individual
+files for easier administration.
+
+The default forwarder configuration file is `/etc/logzilla/forwarder.yaml`.
+Individual forwarder configuration files can also be used (in addition to the
+default file). The files can consist of JSON (`.json`) or YAML (`.yaml`).
+Each file defines a particular forwarder configuration, one forwarder per file,
+using the same syntax and options as specified in the `forwarders` configuration
+element as explained above.
+
+For example, a simple configuration in `/etc/logzilla/forwarder.d/non-dedup.yaml`
+might contain the following:
+
+```yaml
+window_size: 0
+type: file
+path: /var/log/logzilla/non-dedup.log
+```
+
+## Configure Rules
+
+### Examples of forwarder configuration files
+
+Here are some example configurations for forwarder configuration files:
+
+#### Forward to host A
+
+```yaml
+---
+window_size: 60
+forwarders:
+- type: syslog
+  target: 192.168.0.114:514
+  transport: tcp
+  unsent_buffer_limit: 250000
+  protocol: rfc5424
+  rules:
+  - match:
+      field: counter
+      op: gt
+      value: 1
+    rewrite:
+      message: $MESSAGE LZ_Forwarded_For="$HOST" LZ_dedupCount="$COUNTER"
+  - match:
+      field: counter
+      op: le
+      value: 1
+    rewrite:
+      message: $MESSAGE LZ_Forwarded_For="$HOST"
+fast_forward_first: true
+```
+
+#### Forward to host B
+
+```yaml
+---
+window_size: 60
+forwarders:
+- type: syslog
+  target: 192.168.0.117:514
+  transport: udp
+  protocol: bsd
+  rules:
+  - match:
+      field: counter
+      op: gt
+      value: 1
+    rewrite:
+      message: $MESSAGE LZ_Forwarded_For="$HOST" LZ_dedupCount="$COUNTER"
+  - match:
+      field: counter
+      op: le
+      value: 1
+    rewrite:
+      message: $MESSAGE LZ_Forwarded_For="$HOST"
+fast_forward_first: true
+```
+
+#### Forward to file
+
+```yaml
+---
+window_size: 1
+fast_forward_first: true
+forwarders:
+- match:
+    field: cisco_mnemonic
+    value: BGP-5-ADJCHANGE
+  type: file
+  target: "/var/log/logzilla/sec/simple.log"
+  format: tsv
+  separator: "\t"
+  fields:
+  - last_occurrence
+  - host
+  - message
+```
+
+#### IMPORTANT: `LZ_Forwarded_For`
+
+Downstream receivers such as Splunk (See
+[Forwarding to Splunk](/help/forwarding_to_downstream_receivers/forwarding_to_splunk))
+will need to know which host the event originated from. This rule adds a key/value
+pair for the downstream systems to parse and use as the original sending host.
+Otherwise, all events would appear to come from your local LogZilla server.
+
+## Forwarder Configuration Options
+
+The following configuration options can be defined in the main `forwarder.yaml` file
+(JSON format is also supported with a `.json` extension):
+
+### Global Options
+
+`match`  
+A filter that defines which events should be forwarded. The syntax is identical to
+that used in [Match Conditions in Rewrite Rules](/help/data_transformation/rewrite_rules).
+This serves as a global filter affecting all forwarders, but can also be configured
+in individual forwarders.
+
+`window_size`  
+The default time (in seconds) to retain messages while checking for duplicates.
+If not specified for a particular forwarder, this value is used. Higher values
+improve deduplication efficiency but introduce longer forwarding delays, as each
+message is held for the specified duration before forwarding. Setting this to `0`
+disables deduplication completely.
+
+`fast_forward_first`  
+The default behavior for handling the first unique occurrence of an event. When set
+to `true` (default), the first occurrence is forwarded immediately, while subsequent
+duplicates are collected and forwarded at the end of the window. When set to
+`false`, the first occurrence is grouped with its duplicates and all are forwarded
+together at the end of the window.
+
+`forwarders`  
+This section defines forwarders. Multiple forwarders and mixing Syslog and SNMP
+trap destinations may be used. Every element of the `forwarders` table has a
+mandatory field `type` which defines what type of forwarder it is - currently
+`snmp`, `syslog`, `file`, and `splunk-hec` are supported. Other fields depend on
+the forwarder type.
+
+For example, the following would forward to both an SNMP Trap receiver and a
+Syslog receiver:
+
+```yaml
+---
+forwarders:
+- oid_map:
+  - oid: ".1.2.0"
+    src: facility
+    type: s
+  - oid: ".1.3.0"
+    src: severity
+    type: i
+  - oid: ".1.4.0"
+    src: cisco_mnemonic
+    type: s
+  - oid: ".1.5.0"
+    src: message
+    type: s
+  - oid: ".1.99.0"
+    src: counter
+    type: i
+  oid_prefix: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.41.1.2.3
+  target: snmp-server:162
+  trap_oid: 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.991
+  type: snmp
+- protocol: bsd
+  rules:
+  - match:
+      field: counter
+      op: gt
+      value: 1
+    rewrite:
+      message: "$MESSAGE LZ_dedupCount=$COUNTER"
+  target: central-log-collector:514
+  transport: tcp
+  type: syslog
+
+```
+
+### Forwarder Configuration
+
+Every forwarder has two mandatory fields: `type` and `target`. Additional fields may
+be required depending on the forwarder type.
+
+#### Common Options for All Forwarder Types
+
+The following options can be used with any forwarder type:
+
+`match`  
+Defines which events this specific forwarder will process. Works the same way as the
+global `match` option but applies only to this specific forwarder.
+
+`window_size`  
+Overrides the global `window_size` setting for this specific forwarder.
+
+`fast_forward_first`  
+Overrides the global `fast_forward_first` setting for this specific forwarder.
+
+`rules`  
+Defines transformation rules to be applied to events before forwarding. You can
+specify any list of rules that will be applied to the event in order before it is
+forwarded. The syntax is identical to that used in
+[Rewrite Rules](/help/data_transformation/rewrite_rules).
+
+#### Forwarder Options for Particular Forwarder Types
+
+##### Syslog
+
+`target`  
+This is host and port of the target syslog server.
+
+`transport`  
+Either `tcp` or `udp`. The `tcp` transport can operate in either blocking or
+non-blocking mode depending on the configuration.
+
+`unsent_buffer_limit`  
+The maximum number of events (post predup) that will be buffered in case the
+destination is down. If the destination comes back up before overflowing, events
+will be forwarded in the original order. Otherwise, the buffer is emptied.
+Defaults to 25000. Applies only to `tcp` transport. Note that buffering is
+enabled **after** the forwarder realizes that the destination is down, which might
+be significantly later depending on network communication.
+
+`protocol`  
+Either `bsd` for the classic (RFC3164) protocol or the newer `rfc5424` protocol
+
+`octet_count`  
+Use the octet counting framing method for sending messages.
+
+#### File
+
+This forwarder saves all forwarded events in a file, in json or TSV format, one
+line per event.
+
+`target`  
+The path to the file where events are to be saved. This is a path in the container
+`lz_forwarder_module`, so this file can be accessed with docker cp or via
+`logzilla shell -c forwarder`. Previously known as `path`, which is still
+supported for backward compatibility. Also, if desired, this file can be saved
+directly on the host file system if the file is put in a path inside the
+`/var/log/logzilla/` directory, because that directory (and subdirectories) is
+shared between the host and the LogZilla docker container.
+
+`format`  
+Defaults to `json`, in which case it always save whole event. Another option is
+`tsv` which uses tab separated values, but other separators can be specified
+(defaults to TAB); with TSV format a list of fields that are written to output
+file can be provided.
+
+`separator`  
+For the TSV format this is the string used to separate fields (defaults to TAB).
+
+`fields`  
+The array of fields to be written in TSV format (defaults to
+`["host", "program", "message"]`).
+
+`rotate_period`  
+The time in seconds after which log file will be renamed with `.0` appended (so if
+it's `fwd.log` it will become `fwd.log.0`), and then the original path will be
+reopened as an empty file. As appropriate, each previous `.0` file will
+overwritten so there is always no more than just two log files - the previous and
+the current one. The default value of 0 disables rotation completely.
+
+#### Splunk-HEC
+
+This forwarder sends events in JSON format to Splunk HTTP Event Collector. The
+receiving splunk instance should be configured to: have a Splunk HEC source
+enabled; have a HEC token; globally enable HTTP source; and disable SSL (for now
+only http is supported). Documentation for these Splunk settings is available in the
+[Splunk HTTP Event Collector documentation](https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Data/UsetheHTTPEventCollector).
+
+`target`  
+The address in the format `HOST`, `HOST:PORT` or `http://HOST:PORT`, where `HOST`
+and `PORT` are replaced with the actual values of the host name and TCP/UDP port.
+If `PORT` is omitted, the default splunk value of `8088` is used. HTTPS is not
+supported for now.
+
+`token`  
+The HEC token as specified in Splunk.
+
+#### SNMP
+
+This forwarder sends an SNMP Trap for each matching event. A list of variables
+that will be added to the trap can be defined, with values copied from the
+particular fields of event.
+
+`target`  
+This is the host and port of the SNMP server.
+
+`trap_oid`  
+This will be set as the type of outgoing SNMP trap.
+
+`oid_prefix`  
+Whenever `oid` in the map starts with a dot, it will be prefixed with this prefix.
+
+`oid_map`  
+This is the list of variables that will be added to the trap. For every variable
+you define:
+
+`type`  
+For now only `i` (32 bit integer) and `s` (string) are supported.
+
+`oid`  
+The object id of this variable; if it starts with a dot then it is prefixed with
+`oid_prefix`.
+
+`src`  
+The name of the event field variable in which the value will be set.
+
+`value`  
+If no `src` is defined, a constant can be configured here that will be copied for
+this value.
+
+## Add the Forwarder Configuration(s)
+
+There are two methods to implement your forwarder configuration:
+
+### Method 1: Using the LogZilla command line utility
+
+Use the following command:
+
+```bash
+logzilla forwarder import -I NEW_CONFIG
+```
+
+Where `NEW_CONFIG` is the path to your forwarder configuration file. The file
+doesn't need to be named `forwarder.yaml` or `forwarder.json` when using this
+method.
+
+### Method 2: Manual file placement
+
+Copy the configuration file to the appropriate directory:
+
+```bash
+cp forwarder.yaml /etc/logzilla
+```
+
+### Configuration Locations
+
+Forwarders can be configured in two locations:
+
+1. In the main `/etc/logzilla/forwarder.yaml` or `/etc/logzilla/forwarder.json`
+   file using the `forwarders` element as described above.
+2. In individual configuration files placed in the forwarder configuration
+   directory.
+
+To use individual forwarder configuration files, place each file in the
+`/etc/logzilla/forwarder.d` directory:
+
+```bash
+cp non-dedup.yaml /etc/logzilla/forwarder.d
+```
+
+## Restart LogZilla Modules to Enable New Configurations
+
+After adding or modifying any forwarder configuration, restart the `forwarder`
+module to apply your changes:
+
+```bash
+logzilla restart -c forwardermodule
+```

+# SNMP Trap
+
+The SNMP TRAP Forwarder module allows forwarding of all or specific matched events to a downstream trap receiver.
+
+For configuration detail on each section other than the actual `forwarders` section below, please see the section on [Downstream Syslog Receivers](/help/forwarding_to_downstream_receivers/downstream_syslog_receivers)
+
+##### Sample Forwarder Config File
+
+```yaml
+window_size: 60
+pre_match:
+- field: message
+  op: "~*"
+  value: duplex mismatch discovered on
+- field: severity
+  value:
+  - 1
+  - 2
+  - 5
+forwarders:
+- type: snmp
+  target: 10.10.1.200:162
+  trap_oid: 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.991

+  - type: s
+    oid: ".1.5.0"
+    src: message
+  - type: i
+    oid: ".1.99.0"
+    src: counter
+```
+
+This forwarder sends the specified SNMP Trap for every matching event (after it is dedup'd).
+
+As shown in [11.2 Downstream Syslog Receivers](/help/forwarding_to_downstream_receivers/downstream_syslog_receivers), a file (such as `fwd-snmp.yaml`) containing the above YAML would be placed in `/etc/logzilla/forwarder.d` and then the forwarder and parser restarted:
+
+```
+logzilla restart -c forwardermodule 
+logzilla restart -c parsermodule
+```
+
+
+>NOTE: OIDs can defined here based on your needs, LogZilla does not limit which OIDs you are permitted to send.
+
+##### trap_oid
+Used to set the type of outgoing SNMP trap. In the case of `1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.991`, it specifies that it is from the `UCD-SNMP-MIB`, Specifically, `NOTIFICATION-TEST-MIB`.
+
+##### oid_prefix
+The base OID for all subsequent fields in the `oid_map`.
+
+##### oid_map
+The list of variables to be added to the trap:
+
+* type: Only `i` (32 bit integer) and `s` (string) are supported
+
+* oid: Object id of this variable; if it starts with dot then it’s prefixed with `oid_prefix`
+
+* src: Name of event field from LogZilla placed in this variable
+
+* value: If no `src` macro is defined, you may use this to add extra information to each outgoing event.
+
+For example, in a Service Provider Network, this would allow the addition of a customer's BGP AS Number:
+
+```
+ { "type" : "i", "oid" : ".1.70.0", "value" : "64512" },
+ { "type" : "s", "oid" : ".1.70.1", "value" : "BGP_AS_ID" }
+```

+
+LogZilla NEO may also be used to reduce the amount of data sent to Splunk systems while, at the same time, generating more value in that data.
+
+LogZilla's preduplication module provides a way to allow Splunk to avoid having to deal with data storms.
+
+The forwarding module works the same way in terms of configuration on the LogZilla side. On the Splunk side, a transform can be used to indicate the original sending host so that Splunk doesn't think all events are coming from the same system.
+
+### `LZ_Forwarded_For`
+
+To help Splunk determine the correct source host, the forwarder module config (See [Downstream Syslog Receivers](/help/forwarding_to_downstream_receivers/downstream_syslog_receivers)) should add a `LZ_Forwarded_For ` key/value pair. 
+
+## Splunk Setup
+
+On your Splunk server, create or edit `$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/transforms.conf` and add:
+
+**Splunk Transforms**
+
+```
+[logzilla_forwarder]
+REGEX = LZ_Forwarded_For=(\S+)
+FORMAT = host::$1
+DEST_KEY = MetaData:Host
+```
+
+Next, create or edit the file `$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/props.conf` and associate the transform to your source. In the case of [this example](/help/forwarding_to_downstream_receivers/downstream_syslog_receivers), we're sending everything via TCP port 514, so the source used in Splunk's `props.conf` will be that.
+
+**Splunk Props**
+
+```
+[source::tcp:514]
+TRANSFORMS-lz_neo=logzilla_forwarder
+```
+
+For options on Splunk's transforms and props files, please reference [Splunk's Documentation](https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.2.5/Data/Overridedefaulthostassignments) for further help.

+
+# Installation of LogZilla AI Copilot Module
+
+The LogZilla Copilot module requires manual installation as it is not included
+in the standard LogZilla installation package. This module must be installed on
+the same host where LogZilla is running to ensure proper connectivity to the
+same Docker network.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker and Docker Compose installed
+- LogZilla instance running on the same host (minimum version v6.36)
+- Access to a suitable LLM (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or a local LLM hosted
+  with Ollama server)
+
+## Installation Steps
+
+### 1. Prepare the Directory Structure
+
+Create a dedicated directory for the LogZilla AI Copilot installation:
+
+```bash
+mkdir lz-ai
+cd lz-ai
+```
+
+### 2. Pull Current LogZilla AI Image
+
+```bash
+docker pull logzilla/ai
+```
+
+### 3. Create Configuration Files
+
+The installation requires two configuration files in the directory:
+
+#### Create compose.yaml
+
+Create a file named `compose.yaml` with the following content:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+    postgres:
+        image: postgres:13.3
+        environment: &env_postgres
+            POSTGRES_USER: ${POSTGRES_USER:-postgres}
+            POSTGRES_PASSWORD: ${POSTGRES_PASSWORD:-postgres}
+            POSTGRES_DB: ${POSTGRES_DB:-ai}
+        volumes:
+            - postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data
+        restart: always
+    qdrant:
+        image: "qdrant/qdrant"
+        ports:
+            - 6333:6333
+        volumes:
+            - qdrant:/qdrant/storage
+        restart: always
+    dcm_installer:

+            - qdrant
+            - postgres
+        volumes:
+            - ./config.yaml:/app/config.yaml
+        command: ["/app/bin/dcm", "install", "-i", "/app/dcm-install"]
+    web:
+        image: logzilla/ai
+        environment:
+            APP_NAME: "web"
+            <<: *env_postgres
+        links:
+            - qdrant
+            - postgres
+        depends_on:
+            dcm_installer:
+                condition: service_completed_successfully
+        volumes:
+            - ./config.yaml:/app/config.yaml
+        restart: unless-stopped
+        command: ["/app/bin/web-bot.py", "--port", "80"]
+        networks:
+            default:
+            lz_main:
+                aliases:
+                    - ai-web
+volumes:
+    qdrant: ~
+    postgres: ~
+networks:
+  lz_main:
+    external: true
+```
+
+#### Create config.yaml
+
+Create a file named `config.yaml` with the following content:
+
+```yaml
+# Configuration file for LogZilla AI bot
+

+```
+
+**Important Configuration Notes:**
+
+1. Set the `base_url` parameter to match your LogZilla server URL
+   (example: `http://logzilla.company.com/ai/`)
+
+2. Configure the LLM models:
+   - For cloud-based models (OpenAI, Anthropic), replace the placeholder API
+     keys with valid keys
+   - For local Ollama models, update the `base_url` with your Ollama server
+     address
+
+Multiple models can be configured as needed. The first model in the list
+serves as the default selection for users.
+
+### 4. Start the Services
+
+Launch the LogZilla AI services using Docker Compose:
+
+```bash
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+This command initiates the following services:
+
+- PostgreSQL database (for storing conversation history)
+- Qdrant vector database (for embeddings and semantic search)
+- Docs Collection installer (installs available documentation collections,
+  which may require additional time during the initial startup)
+- Web interface for the AI assistant
+
+It also connects the services to the `lz_main` Docker network, which is
+automatically created by LogZilla.
+
+### 5. Enable the AI Module in LogZilla
+
+Users should log in to their LogZilla instance and navigate to the `Settings`
+page. Under the "System Settings" tab, in the "Front" section, locate
+"AI Enabled" and set it to "On". This will restart the LogZilla UI. After a
+few seconds, the "Copilot" link should redirect to the Copilot UI page.
+
+### 6. Test the Integration
+
+Access the AI chat interface by navigating to the LogZilla URL with the `/ai`
+path appended:
+
+```text
+{LogZilla-URL}/ai
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- If redirection to the documentation page occurs after enabling the feature
+  when accessing the /ai URL, check the LogZilla logs at
+  `/var/log/logzilla/logzilla.log` for errors
+- For unresponsive AI services, examine the Docker logs using the command
+  `docker compose logs`
+- Verify that the LogZilla network (`lz_main`) exists in the Docker
+  environment
+- Confirm that all API keys in the `config.yaml` file are valid and current
+
+## Upgrading
+
+To upgrade the LogZilla Copilot module, follow these steps in the installation
+ directory:
+
+1. Pull all updated images:
+
+   ```bash
+   docker compose pull
+   ```
+
+2. Recreate all containers with the new images:
+
+   ```bash
+   docker compose up -d
+   ```
+
+3. Verify the upgrade was successful:
+
+   ```bash
+   docker compose ps
+   ```
+
+This ensures all services are updated consistently while preserving any custom
+configurations.
+
+For additional information, consult the
+[LogZilla documentation](https://docs.logzilla.net) or contact LogZilla
+support.

+Features:
+- Document listing and statistics  
+- Full-text document retrieval
+- Search functionality via integrated search tools
+- Support for stdio, HTTP, and HTTPS transports
+
+- Advanced configuration with environment variables

+# MCP Docs Server — Tests & CI
+
+This repo includes a comprehensive, real implementation test suite for:
+
+- `index_builder_faiss.py`
+- `models.py`
+- `search_engine_faiss.py`
+- `server.py`
+
+The tests use real libraries (sentence-transformers, FAISS, tiktoken, etc.) for higher confidence.
+
+---
+
+## Quick start
+
+```bash
+# Python 3.10–3.12 recommended
+python -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate    # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
+python -m pip install -U pip
+
+# Test dependencies
+pip install pytest pydantic pydantic-settings sentence-transformers faiss-cpu tiktoken beautifulsoup4
+
+# Optional for HTTP tests
+# pip install fastapi uvicorn httpx
+
+# Run tests (unit + integration)
+pytest -q
+````
+
+> Some tests are marked slow; set `SKIP_SLOW_TESTS=true` to skip.
+
+---
+
+## Test layout
+
+```
+tests/
+  conftest.py                       # real fixtures and sample data setup
+  test_index_builder.py             # index builder tests (real libraries)
+  test_models.py                    # models.py coverage
+  test_search_engine.py             # FAISS engine init/search/cleanup tests (real)
+  test_server.py                    # MCP server tests (real)
+pytest.ini                          # marks and default settings
+```
+
+---
+
+## Useful pytest invocations
+
+Run all (excluding perf):
+
+```bash
+pytest -m "not performance" -q
+```
+
+Only a single file:
+
+```bash
+pytest tests/test_search_engine.py -q
+```
+
+Only one test:
+
+```bash
+pytest tests/test_index_builder.py::test_build_index_e2e_with_real_libraries -q
+```
+
+Show print/log output:
+
+```bash
+pytest -s
+```
+
+Increase verbosity:
+
+```bash
+pytest -vv
+```
+
+---
+
+## Markers
+
+* `@pytest.mark.integration` — multi-module flows (kept quick)
+* `@pytest.mark.performance` — perf/stress; **skipped by default**. To include:
+
+  ```bash
+  pytest -m "performance"
+  ```
+
+---
+
+## Coverage (optional)
+
+```bash
+pip install coverage
+coverage run -m pytest -m "not performance"
+coverage report -m
+```
+
+---
+
+## CI with GitHub Actions
+
+A ready-to-use workflow is provided in `.github/workflows/python-tests.yml`. It:
+
+* Runs on Python 3.10–3.12
+* Installs `pytest`, `pydantic`, and `pydantic-settings`
+* (Optionally) you can enable FastAPI/uvicorn if you add tests that rely on them
+* Executes `pytest -m "not performance"`
+
+> See the full workflow file below for adjustments (e.g., add coverage upload).
+
+---
+
+## Environment
+
+`server.py` imports `pydantic`/`pydantic_settings` unconditionally. Ensure those packages are installed.
