There is no way to see the contents of a deployed custom feed using the Security Analytics UI.
The contents of a custom feed can be viewed using the shell console on the Log Decoder appliance, following the steps below.
- Connect to the Log Decoder using SSH as the root user.
- Go to the directory where the feeds are stored.
cd /etc/netwitness/ng/feeds/
- Use the NwConsole utility to dump the custom feed contents.
Note: Each time output file name should be different when running NwConsole command.
NwConsole -c feed dump <feed_file_name> <output_file_name>
- Use the cat command to display the contents of the feed.
To view meta keys involved in custom feeds, follow the below steps.
- Go to feeds directory using cd /etc/netwitness/ng/feeds
- Run NwConsole -c feed stats <feedname> to view meta key details for this feed.
Example:
[root@Dec feeds]# NwConsole -c feed stats FINUsersFeedSrc.feed
