What are logs in the indexed phase referred to as?

In the indexed phase of log processing within FortiAnalyzer, logs are referred to as analytic logs. This term denotes that the logs have been processed and organized into an indexed format, making them more suitable for efficient searching, analysis, and reporting. Analytic logs facilitate the enhancement of data visibility and the ability to draw insights from logged events, allowing users to generate comprehensive reports, conduct forensic analysis, and optimize security operations.

Through the indexing process, logs are transformed into a structured format that supports advanced queries and analysis, which is pivotal for security monitoring and incident response. This distinguishes them from other types of logs that may not have undergone such processing, ensuring that users have access to the most relevant and actionable information available.
