This article supports the beta release for DLP Chat, and contains information about that feature that does not appear in the non-beta Rule log events article.
As your organization's administrator, you can use the audit and investigation page to run searches related to Rule log events. There you can view a record of actions to review your user’s attempts to share sensitive data. For example, you can review events triggered by data loss prevention (DLP) rule violation events. Entries usually appear within an hour of the user action.
Beta Rule log event data includes data for BeyondCorp Threat and Data Protection.
