Label Packages
Label Packages are the collection of labelling rules. Labels are tags applied to each log message, used to characterize logs and group similar logs. For example, you can label all the login failed logs as failed. Using the label failed, you can group all the logs where the user failed to log in successfully.
Labels can also be used to identify logs related to a specific threat technique or potential security attack.
In Logpoint, there are two types of Label Packages.
Vendor Packages: The label packages bundled with the Logpoint installation.
My Packages: The label packages that you add.
You can switch between My Packages and Vendor Packages by clicking the drop-down menu at the top-left corner.

Applying Labels using Normalization Signatures
You may need to add a label to particular types of logs or the logs collected by a specific device. For example, to add a label printer to all the logs collected from the printer, you can add a label to the signature of the normalization package that is used to normalize printer logs. This will add the label to all the logs processed by that normalization package.
