What This Category of Data Looks Like
This category of data primarily originates from SIEM, EDR, firewall logs, and host images. Updates occur in real time or per triggered incident. Daily produced documents include incident response reports, forensics records, remediation plans, and notification materials. Data fields include incident occurrence time, attack traceability paths, isolation operation records, evidence file hashes, and additional relevant fields. Single data entry volume ranges from a few KB to tens of MB, varying based on incident complexity. Typical service stakeholders include security operation centers, incident response engineers, and security program leads.
What Constraints Do These Characteristics Impose on the Citation and Traceability Workflow
Decentralized data sources require the citation process to support parallel recall across multiple data sources, to avoid missing critical logs and image information. Real-time update cycles require index synchronization mechanisms to adapt to high-frequency writes triggered by incidents, preventing data lag. Document structures combine structured operation records and semi-structured evidence information, requiring precise matching of field association logic to ensure full restoration of attack paths during traceability. The wide range of single data entry volumes requires configuration to balance recall scope and context length, avoiding exceeding model processing limits. The requirement for complete evidence chains mandates retaining traceability identifiers for all associated data, to support subsequent compliance reviews and regulatory reporting.
How to Configure Settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Single Search Limit | Top 10 entries | Matches the high-frequency associated log volume of emergency incidents, avoids redundant data occupying context |
| Maximum Context | 8000–12000 token | Adapts to the total length of single-incident forensics records and reports, aligns with FastGPT v4.17.0 model processing range |
quoteMaxToken | 2000 token per entry | Limits token consumption per piece of evidence data, prevents overall context overflow |
responseData | Includes event ID, attack source IP | Ensures traceability results carry core identification fields, facilitating subsequent associated verification |
detail | Enable full field display | Restores complete details of forensics records, meets evidence integrity requirements for compliance reviews |
| Reranking Strategy | Sorted by event time in descending order | Prioritizes displaying the latest attack and remediation actions, aligns with incident response timeline organization needs |
Three Common Configuration Errors
- Phenomenon: The number of model context entries displayed on the page does not match the number sent to the call interface. Some knowledge base blocks exceed the set citation limit and are still recalled. Cause: No incremental synchronization rules configured for real-time updated log data, leading to inconsistency between index cached old data and latest source data.
- Phenomenon: Some core fields in the traceability results returned after a call are empty. Cause: The
detailconfiguration item is not enabled, only summary information is recalled, and key details of forensics records are lost. - Phenomenon: Response timeout occurs. Cause: The single search limit is set too high, recalling too many low-correlation log entries at the same time, exceeding model processing time limits.
How to Verify Proper Configuration
- Review FastGPT v4.17.0 knowledge base index synchronization logs to confirm the real-time or incident-triggered update mechanism operates correctly.
- Submit a traceability request for a simulated emergency incident, and confirm returned results include core identification fields such as event ID and attack source IP.
- After adjusting the
quoteMaxTokenconfiguration, test if single evidence data token consumption stays within the preset range. - Check the number of returned data entries from the call interface, and confirm it matches the context entry count displayed on the page.
