Log template is a type of template which is used for doing log analysis. You can create a Log Template while adding a service to the application. To create a log template follow the steps below:

1. Click on New Application button to create a new application as shown below:

2. Following application details appears as shown below:

3. In the above form after adding the application details you need to add. To know more on how to add an application click here.

4. After you add the application details, you need to add the services to the application. To know more on how to add an application click here.

5. Next, you get the option to select the type of service you want to add. The options are:

• Approval

• Verification

• Test Verification

• Policy

Refer to the image below:

6. To add a log template select Verification or Test Verification type. The following options appear and click "+" Symbol:

7. The New Log Template form appears as shown below:

This Log template is independent of the data sources created. There can be multiple data sources. But for individual projects there can be individual log templates.

• Select the Level of Sensitivity from the drop-down. Sensitivity means the importance of warning or error. For example - If the sensitivity is high any error or warning will be considered as highly sensitive and the penalty in the final risk score will be more. If medium or low, the penalty in the risk score will be moderate or low respectively.
