explain 'Map Field from reference table' - new Mapping Type feature has added in Event field mapping

[pavan garige]

Hi All,
New Mapping Type feature has added in Event field mapping which is 'Map Field from reference table ".
1. Can anyone briefly explain about this feature with example as how can we map field from reference table?
2. Explain about fields such as 'Field to Match' & Matching Alert field' as these are available in 'Map Field from reference table'  ?

Hi @pavan garige 

Use this rule type to extract a Source field value from the selected Reference table by matching the Field to matchvalue to the Matching alert field value and then mapping the Source field value to the Target field. The Matching alert field and the Target field may be event fields, additional info fields, or alert tags.
