Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Log Formats

DLP logs show information about DLP events where data identifiers were triggered and a violation occurred. DLP logs are available in all versions. A single DLP event can present in multiple rows of the logs when different data identifiers and file labels are triggered for the same content. Rows pertinent to the same content or event have the same Unique Event ID.
