Synthetic Alerts

Alerts that are defined within SevOne are restricted to the trigger conditions within that policy. The idea here is to be able to define synthetic alerts based on the presence or count of another alert (or multiple). The main requirement is for alert count. A policy can have trigger conditions with a simple or compound rules, and it might be normal to occasionally but not when you have multiple occurrences within a time period.

example - rule exists for CPU util and type "baseline percentage". We want a synthetic alert that says if it is regularly going above the baseline percentage of 20%, create a new synthetic alert

i.e. policy #X occurs 5 times in 1 hour, create a new alert #Y (the severity of #X might be Warning, however when #Y is triggered, severity is Critical)

Slope variance using DFA and RSA can be difficult to get right, even when combining with static / other conditions. The ability though to create a synthetic alert based on the policy triggering multiple times within a time period, then becomes more practical.

    (DI does allow you to see alert occurrences, which is useful but limited)
