Build Event Type utility

noun

A tool which dynamically creates event types based on the analysis of a selected event. To access it, run a search, locate an event in the search results that might make a good event type, and then select Build event type from the event menu.

The Build Event Types utility enables you to try out different field/value pairings for the event type search, test potentially useful event types, and save the event types that perform well.
