BehaviorCriteria

PDF

The criteria by which the behavior is determined to be normal.

Contents

comparisonOperator

The operator that relates the thing measured (metric) to the criteria (containing a value or statisticalThreshold). Valid operators include:

  • string-list: in-set and not-in-set

  • number-list: in-set and not-in-set

  • ip-address-list: in-cidr-set and not-in-cidr-set

  • number: less-than, less-than-equals, greater-than, and greater-than-equals

Type: String

Valid Values: less-than | less-than-equals | greater-than | greater-than-equals | in-cidr-set | not-in-cidr-set | in-port-set | not-in-port-set | in-set | not-in-set

Required: No

consecutiveDatapointsToAlarm

If a device is in violation of the behavior for the specified number of consecutive datapoints, an alarm occurs. If not specified, the default is 1.

Type: Integer

Valid Range: Minimum value of 1. Maximum value of 10.

Required: No

consecutiveDatapointsToClear

If an alarm has occurred and the offending device is no longer in violation of the behavior for the specified number of consecutive datapoints, the alarm is cleared. If not specified, the default is 1.

Type: Integer

Valid Range: Minimum value of 1. Maximum value of 10.

Required: No

durationSeconds

Use this to specify the time duration over which the behavior is evaluated, for those criteria that have a time dimension (for example, NUM_MESSAGES_SENT). For a statisticalThreshhold metric comparison, measurements from all devices are accumulated over this time duration before being used to calculate percentiles, and later, measurements from an individual device are also accumulated over this time duration before being given a percentile rank. Cannot be used with list-based metric datatypes.

Type: Integer

Required: No

mlDetectionConfig

The configuration of an ML Detect

Type: MachineLearningDetectionConfig object

Required: No

statisticalThreshold

A statistical ranking (percentile)that indicates a threshold value by which a behavior is determined to be in compliance or in violation of the behavior.

Type: StatisticalThreshold object

Required: No

value

The value to be compared with the metric.

Type: MetricValue object

Required: No
