+# UDM Search Integration for Logstory
+
+## Overview
+
+Implemented **Option 1: Extend `_get_log_content()` to support UDM Search queries**.
+
+This feature allows logstory to fetch UDM events directly from Chronicle via UDM search queries, then replay them with updated timestamps into the ingestion pipeline—without needing pre-existing `.log` files.
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### 1. Core Logic (`src/logstory/main.py`)
+
+#### New Function: `_search_udm()`
+- Executes UDM search queries against Chronicle API
+- Parameters:
+  - `http_client`: Authenticated HTTP session
+  - `customer_id`: Chronicle customer ID  
+  - `query`: UDM search query string
+  - `start_time`, `end_time`: Time range for search (defaults to last 30 days)
+  - `region`: Chronicle region (US or EU)
+- Returns results as JSON lines (one UDM event per line)
+- Handles API errors and logging
+
+#### Modified Function: `_get_log_content()`
+- Now accepts optional UDM search parameters:
+  - `udm_query`: UDM search query to execute
+  - `http_client`: Authenticated client for the query
+  - `customer_id`: For API calls
+  - `region`: Chronicle region
+- Logic flow:
+  - If `udm_query` provided → execute UDM search and return results
+  - Otherwise → fall back to existing file-based logic (GCS or local filesystem)
+- Maintains full backward compatibility
+
+#### Modified Function: `usecase_replay_logtype()`
+- Added parameters to support UDM queries
+- Passes UDM parameters down to `_get_log_content()`
+- Works seamlessly with existing timestamp replacement and ingestion pipeline
+
+### 2. CLI Commands (`src/logstory/logstory.py`)
+
+#### New Command: `replay from-udm-search`
+```bash
+logstory replay from-udm-search "<UDM_QUERY>" \
+  --customer-id=<ID> \
+  --credentials-path=<PATH> \
+  --timestamp-delta=1d
+```
+
+Example:
+```bash
+logstory replay from-udm-search "metadata.event_type='PROCESS_EXECUTION'" \
+  --customer-id=01234567-0123-4321-abcd-01234567890a \
+  --credentials-path=/path/to/credentials.json
+```
+
+#### New Internal Function: `_replay_from_udm()`
+- Orchestrates UDM query execution and replay
+- Applies timestamp shifting via existing pipeline
+- Injects ingestion labels identifying the source as UDM search
+- Outputs verification query for finding replayed events in Chronicle
+
+### 3. Configuration (`src/logstory/logtypes_events_timestamps.yaml`)
+
+Added timestamp configuration for UDM events:
+```yaml
+UDM_EVENTS:
+  api: udmevents
+  timestamps:
+    - name: created_time
+      base_time: true
+      pattern: '("created_time":\s*"?)(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2})(.\d+Z?\s*"?)'
+      dateformat: "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S"
+      group: 2
+    - name: generic_event_timestamp
+      pattern: '("(?:event_time|timestamp|created_at|time)":\s*"?)(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2})(.\d+Z?\s*"?)'
+      dateformat: "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S"
+      group: 2
+```
+
+- **api**: `udmevents` (uses native UDM ingestion)
+- **timestamps**: Pattern matching for common timestamp field names in UDM events
+- Supports ISO 8601 format timestamps (RFC 3339)
+
+### 4. Tests (`tests/test_udm_search.py`)
+
+Created comprehensive test suite:
+- `test_search_udm_formats_results_as_jsonl()` - Verifies UDM API results conversion
+- `test_get_log_content_with_udm_query()` - Tests UDM query path in content retrieval
+- `test_get_log_content_without_udm_query()` - Ensures backward compatibility
+- `test_udm_query_requires_http_client()` - Validates error handling
+
+## Data Flow
+
+```
+UDM Search Query
+    ↓
+_search_udm() → Chronicle API
+    ↓
+JSON Lines (one UDM event per line)
+    ↓
+usecase_replay_logtype()
+    ↓
+Timestamp extraction & replacement (via existing regex patterns)
+    ↓
+post_entries() → Ingestion API (udmevents)
+    ↓
+Chronicle with updated timestamps
+    ↓
+Ingestion Labels:
+  - log_replay: true
+  - replayed_from: logstory
+  - source_type: udm_search
+```
+
+## Key Design Decisions
+
+1. **No new file dependencies**: UDM results flow directly through logstory's existing replay pipeline
+2. **Backward compatible**: Existing file-based replay unchanged; UDM is additive
+3. **Timestamp handling**: Reuses pattern matching from YAML configs; ISO 8601 patterns added
+4. **API abstraction**: Uses authenticated `http_client` from existing auth system
+5. **User-facing**: CLI command is simple and discoverable
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Basic UDM search replay
+```bash
+logstory replay from-udm-search "metadata.event_type='PROCESS_EXECUTION'"
+```
+
+### With custom timestamp shift
+```bash
+logstory replay from-udm-search "event.principal.ip_address='192.168.1.1'" \
+  --timestamp-delta=7d
+```
+
+### With environment variables
+```bash
+export LOGSTORY_CUSTOMER_ID=<ID>
+export LOGSTORY_CREDENTIALS_PATH=/path/to/credentials.json
+logstory replay from-udm-search "metadata.ingestion_time >= '2024-01-01'"
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+To find replayed logs:
+```
+metadata.ingested_timestamp.seconds >= <LOGSTORY_EXECUTION_TIME>
+metadata.ingestion_labels["source_type"]="udm_search"
+```
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+- Support for UDM Search time range parameters in CLI
+- Batch processing for large result sets
+- Result pagination support
+- Custom timestamp field mapping per query
+- CSV export option (phase 2 of original issue)

+# UDM Search Quick Start
+
+## What's New?
+
+Logstory now supports replaying logs directly from UDM searches without requiring pre-existing `.log` files. This is **Option 1** from issue #27: extend logstory's ingestion pipeline to accept UDM search results and apply timestamp shifting.
+
+## Quick Examples
+
+### Search for process execution events and replay with 1-day shift
+```bash
+logstory replay from-udm-search "metadata.event_type='PROCESS_EXECUTION'" \
+  --customer-id=YOUR_CUSTOMER_ID \
+  --credentials-path=/path/to/credentials.json
+```
+
+### Search for network connections from a specific IP
+```bash
+logstory replay from-udm-search "event.principal.ip_address='192.168.1.100'" \
+  --timestamp-delta=7d
+```
+
+### Search with time filtering
+```bash
+logstory replay from-udm-search "metadata.event_type='USER_LOGIN' AND metadata.severity='WARNING'"
+```
+
+### Use environment variables for credentials
+```bash
+export LOGSTORY_CUSTOMER_ID=01234567-0123-4321-abcd-01234567890a
+export LOGSTORY_CREDENTIALS_PATH=/path/to/credentials.json
+export LOGSTORY_REGION=US
+
+logstory replay from-udm-search "metadata.ingestion_time >= '2024-01-01'"
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. **Query UDM** — Logstory queries Chronicle's UDM Search API with your query
+2. **Get Results** — Chronicle returns matching UDM events as JSON
+3. **Shift Timestamps** — Logstory applies your timestamp delta (e.g., `--timestamp-delta=1d`)
+4. **Ingest** — Updated events are replayed back into Chronicle
+5. **Verify** — Special ingestion labels mark events as replayed from UDM search
+
+## Finding Your Replayed Logs
+
+After replay, search Chronicle with:
+```
+metadata.ingested_timestamp.seconds >= <EXECUTION_TIME>
+metadata.ingestion_labels["source_type"]="udm_search"
+```
+
+## Command Options
+
+```
+logstory replay from-udm-search [OPTIONS] QUERY
+
+Options:
+  --customer-id TEXT               Chronicle customer ID
+  --credentials-path TEXT          Path to service account JSON
+  --region TEXT                    Chronicle region (US or EU)
+  --timestamp-delta TEXT           Time shift (e.g., 1d, 2h, 30m)
+  --env-file TEXT                  Path to .env file
+  --api-type TEXT                  API type (rest or legacy)
+  --project-id TEXT                GCP project ID for REST API
+  --forwarder-name TEXT            Forwarder name for REST API
+  --impersonate-service-account    Service account to impersonate
+  --local-file-output              Write to local files instead of API
+```
+
+## Use Cases
+
+- **Incident Response** — Replay security events with current timestamps to test detections
+- **Testing** — Validate Chronicle configuration changes with historical UDM data
+- **Demos** — Show security scenarios with realistic event sequences
+- **Research** — Analyze subsets of historical data in a controlled replay scenario

+
+## FAQ
+
+**Q: Do I still need `.log` files?**  
+A: No, not for UDM search replay. Regular file-based replay still works as before.
+
+**Q: Can I combine multiple UDM searches?**  
+A: Use a complex query: `(metadata.event_type='PROCESS_EXECUTION' OR metadata.event_type='FILE_MODIFICATION')`
+
+**Q: What timestamp delta values are supported?**  
+A: Combinations like `1d`, `2h`, `30m`, or `1d2h30m`
+
+**Q: How far back can I search?**  
+A: By default, the last 30 days. Customize with start/end times (future enhancement).
+
+**Q: Are replayed events marked differently?**  
+A: Yes, they have ingestion labels: `replayed_from=logstory` and `source_type=udm_search`
