AI Anomaly Detection Reports

AI Anomaly Detection Reports enable you to scan consolidated logs for User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) (e.g. Flag users that logon outside of their typical working hours). This report is typically used by network administrators that want to scan the archive log database for UEBA anomalies.

How to create an Artificial Intelligence Report

The Columns Tab

Use this view to configure the columns to check for anomalies. This Tab is not available when creating Template Trigger AI Anomoaly Detection Reports.

  • Use the Column definitions controls to add the columns you would like to check for anomalies. If the column is not extracted during log consolidation, add the column then specify the regular expression to extract the attribute's value.'
  • Use the Group by drop-down to group entries into their own tables.
  • Use the Regular expressions controls to specify the regular expressions to extract attribute values.
  • Use the Select distinct count drop-down to specify the required column to check for anomalies.
    Important
    This field is required.
  • Use the Query by controls to optimize the SQL WHERE statements.

The Options Tab

Use this view to configure the AI machine learning rules.

  • Use the Type drop-down so select the machine learning algorithm to apply.
AlgorithmDescription
SpikePredicts spikes in independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) time series based on adaptive kernel density estimations and martingale scores.
Change PointPredicts change points in an independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) time series based on adaptive kernel density estimations and martingale scores.
SeasonalityThis method detects this predictable interval (or period) by adopting techniques of fourier analysis.
  • Use the Column definitions controls to specify the columns to include in the report.
    Note
    The previously assigned Select distict column are automatically added to the 3rd column in the table.
  • Use the Sort by drop-down to select the columns to sort by.
  • Use the Group by time span to group anomaly periods.

Spike

  • Use the Confidence slider to fine tune the anomaly detection confidence.
  • Use the Sub type drop-down to determine whether to detect positive or negative anomalies, or both.
OptionDescription
NegativeOnly negative anomalies are detected.
PositiveOnly positive anomalies are detected.
Two SidedBoth positive and negative anomalies are detected.

Change Point

  • Use the Confidence slider to fine tune the anomaly detection confidence.
  • Use the Sub type drop-down to select the martingale used for scoring.
OptionDescription
NoneNo martingale is used.
PowerThe Power martingale is used.
MixtureThe Mixture martingale is used.

Seasonality

  • Use the Threshold slider to fine tune the anomaly detection threshold.
  • Use the Sensitivity slider to fine tune the anomaly detection sensitivity.
