Which is an example of Log Sources in Logging Analytics?

In OCI Logging Analytics, Log Sources are predefined parsers that extract fields from specific types of log data, enabling structured analysis.

Windows Events, Syslog Listener, and Database SQL parsers (B): These are examples of Log Sources in Logging Analytics. Each represents a specific log type with a predefined parser:

Windows Events: Parses event logs from Windows systems (e.g., security, application logs).

Syslog Listener: Handles logs in the Syslog format, common in Unix-based systems or network devices.

Database SQL parsers: Extracts fields from database logs (e.g., Oracle Database audit logs).These sources come with built-in field mappings and labels for analysis.

Why not A, C, or D?

Long, Integer, String fields (A): These are data types, not Log Sources.

File, Database, Windows Events System, Syslogs (C): While close, this mixes log locations (e.g., File, Database) with source types and isn’t a precise match to predefined Log Sources.

JSON, XML, CSV files (D): These are file formats, not Log Sources; Logging Analytics can parse them but they’re not predefined sources.

Log Sources streamline log ingestion by providing out-of-the-box parsing for common log types.
