# LevelBlue Generic Data Source

The LevelBlue Generic Data Source is a predefined view of events which displays log data when the USM Anywhere <Tooltip tip="Sensors are deployed into an on-premises, cloud, or multi-cloud environment to collect logs and other security-related data. This data is normalized and then securely forwarded to USM Anywhere for analysis and correlation.">Sensor</Tooltip> is unable to match them with any BlueApps based on hints and manual associations.

This view works the same as the events list view. On the left you can find the search and filter options. In the upper side of the page, you can see any filters you have applied, and you have the option to create and select different views of the events. The main part of the page is the actual list of events. Each row describes an individual event.

If you want to analyze the data and see the additional columns without having to scroll left and right, you can maximize the screen and hide the filter pane.
