### Parser Coverage Map
Answers: *does each active data source have a parser running?*
Answers the question: *does each active data source have a parser running?*
**How it works:**
1. **Sync Live Sources**runs a PowerQuery against your data lake to pull every `dataSource.name` seen in the last 7 days, along with event counts.
2. **Load SDL Parsers** — reads parser files from `parsers/`, extracts the `dataSource.name` attribute from each, and stores the field list.
3. **Load STAR Rules**pulls your STAR detection rules from the management API and indexes which data sources each rule references.

2. **Load SDL Parsers** — reads parser files from `parsers/`, extracts the `dataSource.name` attribute from each, and stores the field list in the database.
3. **Load STAR Rules**retrieves your STAR detection rules from the management API and indexes which data sources each rule references.
**Matching logic (three-tier):**
1. Exact `dataSource.name` match between active source and parser attribute
2. Normalized substring match (ignores spaces, dashes, case) between active source name and parser's `dataSource.name`
3. Normalized substring match against the parser filename — catches files where the `dataSource.name` attribute is wrong or missing
1. Exact `dataSource.name` match between the active source and the parser attribute
2. Normalised substring match (ignores spaces, dashes, and case) between the active source name and the parser's `dataSource.name`
3. Normalised substring match against the parser filename — catches files where the `dataSource.name` attribute is incorrect or missing
**Parser detection from data:** During sync, a parallel PowerQuery checks whether each source has events with `event.type` populated in the data lake. If yes, a parser is confirmed running — the source is marked **Covered** even without a local parser file. This handles built-in and cloud-managed parsers that aren't in your `parsers/` folder.
**Parser detection from data:** During sync, a parallel PowerQuery checks whether each source has events with `event.type` populated in the data lake. If so, a parser is confirmed as running — the source is marked **Covered** even without a local parser file. This handles built-in and cloud-managed parsers that are not present in your `parsers/` folder.
**Status values:**
- 🟢 **Covered** — custom parser confirmed (local file or detected via parsed events in data)
- 🔴 **Parser Needed** — no parser found, or only a grok/dottedJson format (which typically signals an incomplete parser)
- 🟢 **Covered** — custom parser confirmed (local file or detected via parsed events in the data lake)
- 🔴 **Parser Needed** — no parser found, or only a grok/dottedJson format (which typically indicates an incomplete parser)
**Expected results:** After syncing sources and loading parsers, sources with active SDL parsers show as Covered. Sources sending raw unparsed data (only `message` and `timestamp` in the data lake) show as Parser Needed.

**Daily Event Volume** — bar chart of total events per day. In 1h mode, switches to a by-source breakdown of the current hour.

- Matched events in the period
- Estimated GB saved in the period
- Projected monthly events and GB if the filter were applied

Pulls raw events from a selected source directly from the data lake and renders every field that came back. The `message` column is pinned to the right of the table, with a **⎘ copy** button on each row for convenient extraction of raw log lines.
- **Empty fields** show as `∅` in gray — immediately highlights fields the parser isn't populating
- **Expected result on a healthy source:** Many fields populated (`src.ip`, `user.name`, `event.type`, etc.), `message` present as raw log backup

#### Field Population Rate
Samples up to 500 events from a source and measures what percentage of them have each field populated. Sorted worst-first.
Samples up to 500 events from a source and measures what percentage of them have each field populated. Results are sorted worst-first so the most pressing gaps are immediately visible.
When you select a source, the tool auto-discovers what fields exist in that source's events and pre-fills the field list — merged with SDL schema defaults. You can edit the list before running.
When you select a source, the tool automatically discovers which fields exist in that source's events and pre-fills the field list — merged with SDL schema defaults. The list is fully editable before running the analysis.
**Colour coding:**
- 🟢 ≥ 80% — healthy extraction
- 🟡 4079% — partial extraction, check regex patterns
- 🔴 < 40% — field is rarely populated; parser likely not matching this log format
- 🟡 4079% — partial extraction; check your regex patterns

**Expected result on a working parser:** Key fields like `src.ip`, `event.type`, `user.name` should be 70100%. Niche fields like `src.process.cmdline` or `tgt.file.path` will naturally be lower (not every event type produces them).

#### Parser Test Runner
Paste a raw log line, select a loaded parser, hit Test. The backend extracts SDL `$field=pattern$` format strings from the parser file, converts them to Python named-group regex, and tries each against your log line.

## Notes
- The backend queries your **demo tenant** (`demo.sentinelone.net`) — not usea1-purple or any other tenant. Keep your `S1_BASE_URL` and `SDL_LOG_READ_KEY` pointed at the same tenant.
- Parser files in `parsers/` are read at query time, not on startup — add or update files without rebuilding.
- The filter simulator is read-only and makes no changes to your tenant configuration.
