Exabeam (UEBA Advanced Analytics) sits on top of those existing data lakes and pulls specific sources by running continuous queries every few minutes into Exabeam. The image below shows a Splunk query to pull windows event logs into Exabeam Advanced Analytics over the port (8089). The query is complex.
