Aggregation rules

Aggregation rule resources are used to group repeated events into aggregation events.

Available settings:

• Name (required)—a unique name for this type of resource. Must contain from 1 to 128 Unicode characters.
• Tenant (required)—name of the tenant that owns the resource.
• Threshold—the number of events that should be received before the aggregation rule is triggered and the events are aggregated. The default value is 100.
• Triggered rule lifetime (required)—time period (in seconds) when events are received for aggregation. On the timeout, the aggregation rule is triggered and a new event is created. The default value is 60.
• Description—up to 256 Unicode characters describing the resource.
• Identical fields (required)—in this drop-down list you can select fields that should be used to group events for aggregation.
• Unique fields—in this drop-down list you can select the fields that will disqualify events from aggregation even if their Identical fields parameter match the aggregation rule condition.
• Sum fields—in this drop-down list, you can select the fields whose values should be summed during aggregation.
• Filter—settings block in which you can specify the conditions for identifying events that will be processed by this resource. You can select an existing filter resource from the drop-down list, or select Create new to create a new filter.

  In aggregation rule resources, do not use filters with the TI operand or the TIDetect, inActiveDirectoryGroup, and hasVulnerability operators. The Active Directory fields for which you can use the inActiveDirectoryGroup operator will appear during the enrichment stage (after aggregation rules are executed).

  Creating a filter in resources

  1. In the Filter drop-down list, select Create new.
  2. If you want to keep the filter as a separate resource, select the Save filter check box.

     In this case, you will be able to use the created filter in various services.

     This check box is cleared by default.

  3. If you selected the Save filter check box, enter a name for the created filter resource in the Name field. The name must contain from 1 to 128 Unicode characters.
  4. In the Conditions settings block, specify the conditions that the events must meet:
     1. Click the Add condition button.
     2. In the Left operand and Right operand drop-down lists, specify the search parameters.

        Depending on the data source selected in the Right operand field, you may see fields of additional parameters that you need to use to define the value that will be passed to the filter. For example, when choosing active list you will need to specify the name of the active list, the entry key, and the entry key field.

     3. In the operator drop-down list, select the relevant operator.

        Filter operators

        • =—the left operand equals the right operand.
        • <—the left operand is less than the right operand.
        • <=—the left operand is less than or equal to the right operand.
        • >—the left operand is greater than the right operand.
        • >=—the left operand is greater than or equal to the right operand.
        • inSubnet—the left operand (IP address) is in the subnet of the right operand (subnet).
        • contains—the left operand contains values of the right operand.
        • startsWith—the left operand starts with one of the values of the right operand.
        • endsWith—the left operand ends with one of the values of the right operand.
        • match—the left operand matches the regular expression of the right operand. The RE2 regular expressions are used.
        • hasBit—checks whether the left operand (string or number) contains bits whose positions are listed in the right operand (in a constant or in a list).
        • hasVulnerability—checks whether the left operand contains an asset with the vulnerability and vulnerability severity specified in the right operand.
        • inActiveList—this operator has only one operand. Its values are selected in the Key fields field and are compared with the entries in the active list selected from the Active List drop-down list.
        • inDictionary—checks whether the specified dictionary contains an entry defined by the key composed with the concatenated values of the selected event fields.
        • inCategory—the asset in the left operand is assigned at least one of the asset categories of the right operand.
        • inActiveDirectoryGroup—the Active Directory account in the left operand belongs to one of the Active Directory groups in the right operand.
        • TIDetect—this operator is used to find events using CyberTrace Threat Intelligence (TI) data. This operator can be used only on events that have completed enrichment with data from CyberTrace Threat Intelligence. In other words, it can only be used in collectors at the destination selection stage and in correlators.

     4. If necessary, select the do not match case check box. When this check box is selected, the operator ignores the case of the values.

        The selection of this check box does not apply to the InSubnet, InActiveList, InCategory or InActiveDirectoryGroup operators.

        This check box is cleared by default.

     5. If you want to add a negative condition, select If not from the If drop-down list.
     6. You can add multiple conditions or a group of conditions.
  5. If you have added multiple conditions or groups of conditions, choose a search condition (and, or, not) by clicking the AND button.
  6. If you want to add existing filters that are selected from the Select filter drop-down list, click the Add filter button.

     You can view the nested filter settings by clicking the button.
