Library

Administrator feature

The Library is an administrator feature. The Library has a significant impact on the way TeskaLabs LogMan.io works. Some users don't have access to the Library.

The Library holds items (files) that determine what you see when using TeskaLabs LogMan.io. The items in the Library determine, for example, your homepage, dashboards, reports, exports, and some SIEM functions.

When you recieve TeskaLabs LogMan.io, the Library is already filled with files. You can change these according to your needs.

The Library supports these file types:

  • .html
  • .json
  • .md
  • .txt
  • .yaml
  • .yml

Warning

Changing items in the Library impacts how TeskaLabs LogMan.io and TeskaLabs SIEM work. If you are unsure about making changes in the Library, contact Support.
