HI There,

Iam Elastic's SIEM for security analysis, but I would like to know if can add other datas to SIEM app, for example there are many logs sources sends syslog to my logstash .Can I have those logs as well in my Elastic SIEM. Because if i click on add data on the SIEM app it gives me only few options.

Any help would be really appreciable.

Thanks,  
Raj

Hi Raj\_Kumar,

If you want to add a new data source to the SIEM which you created what you want to do is to ensure you format your data in your index to be the ECS format:  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/ecs/current/ecs-reference.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/ecs/current/ecs-reference.html)

Add then add that index to your advanced settings to `siem:defaultIndex` here:

Ensure to format as many of your ECS fields as you can for each of the UI pieces to pick it up.
