[TOC]
Plaso is a framework for running modules to extract timestamps for various types of files. The Plaso ingest module runs Plaso to generate events that are displayed in the Autopsy \ref timeline_page. For more information on Plaso, see <a href="https://plaso.readthedocs.io/en/latest/"> the documentation</a>.
\section plaso_config Running the Module
The Plaso ingest module runs dozens of individual parsers and can take a long time to run. In testing, the slowest parsers by far were <tt>winreg</tt>, <tt>pe</tt>, and <tt>chrome_cache</tt>. <tt>chrome_cache</tt> is always disabled as it duplicates events created by the \ref recent_activity_page. You can choose to enable the <tt>winreg</tt> and <tt>pe</tt> modules on the ingest module configuration panel.

Plaso will only run on \ref ds_img "disk image data sources".
\section plaso_results Viewing Results
The Plaso events will be shown in the \ref timeline_page Timeline. Note that events created by Plaso are not displayed in the \ref tree_viewer_page.
