The Argument Builder is a tool that simplifies the process of defining the event schema. The event schema determines what event fields are reported and how the event field data is displayed when logging to the File or Syslog channel in Translated Mode.
The Argument Builder provides a graphical interface from which you can select the event fields you want to display in the translated log file and how you want the field data to display. Based on your selections, the Argument Builder defines the event schema using a series of event field and format variables. For information on the event schema syntax, see Event Variables.
