Ingesting MacOS Unified Logs

You can enable real-time MacOS Unified Logs (MUL) ingestion using the LimaCharlie EDR Sensor.

First, navigate to the Exfil Control section of LimaCharlie and ensure that MUL events are enabled for your Windows rules.

Next, navigate to the Artifact Collection section and set up an artifact collection rule for the MacOS Unified Log(s) of interest. To ingest MUL real-time events in the timeline, use the mul://[Predicate] format, where the predicate is a standard MacOS MUL predicate. For example, to ingest the Safari logs, you'd use the following pattern:

mul://process == "Safari"

If you injest MacOS Unified Logs with a mul:// pattern, they are streamed in real-time as first-class telemetry alongside the native EDR events, and are included in the flat rate price of the sensor.

After you apply those, you should start seeing your MacOS Unified Logs data coming through for your endpoints within 10 minutes. You can verify this by going into the Timeline view and choosing MUL event type.
