A company receives log messages from multiple sources, including databases and security appliances. The security tool is presenting mismatched timestamps and undefined fields. Which approach is most likely to segment and align the data so that events can be recognized accurately?
Remove informational messages so the security tool receives fewer data points
Modify the main configuration to remove identical entries from logs
Introduce separate feeds for each data source using the default settings of each device
Use a standard pattern for all log messages before feeding them into the tool
Making the data follow a shared format ensures the security tool can identify key fields across various sources. This alignment reduces errors and duplicate entries. Methods that only transmit data without normalizing it lead to gaps in visibility or partial information. Filtering or disabling specific tools does not resolve structural inconsistencies.
