Troubleshooting
Problem
New custom QID is not mapping to events with successfully parsed Category and EventID that appear to match the QID.
Symptom
A new custom QID is created to map events with successfully parsed Category and Event ID, but even when the information extracted seems to match the mapping.
The events are going to "Unknown" and not mapping to the new QID.
For example, if an admin wants to map this sample event:
<13>Sep 30 07:13:59 hostname.doman.com EXEC[4182]: Cat: Security2 ID: NewEvent#123 MSG: New security event activity.
Security2 value is extracted for Event Category and NewEvent#123 for Event ID.
In the DSM Editor, in the Event Mapping tab, the values in the QID appear to match the values parsed from the events:
