  • Article

This document provides a list of Advanced Security Information Model (ASIM) parsers. For an overview of ASIM parsers refer to the parsers overview. To understand how parsers fit within the ASIM architecture, refer to the ASIM architecture diagram.

Important

ASIM is currently in PREVIEW. The Azure Preview Supplemental Terms include additional legal terms that apply to Azure features that are in beta, preview, or otherwise not yet released into general availability.
