Issue/Introduction

Which username information does logs writing to SIEM contain ?
 

Environment

Carbon Black Cloud (formerly CB PSC): All versions 
Endpoint Standard (Formerly CB Defense): All versions 

Resolution

SIEM would only show the information for the "Installed by" user . It does not have a filter for the current/last active users . This is by design .

Additional Information

To know which user has triggered a particular event event/alert, an API can be called to get the “userName”.
