Technical documentation and interface Q&A for security monitoring and SOC on-duty: HTTP interfaces and external systems

Data for this category comes from SIEM, EDR, NDR, and external threat intelligence sources, with an update frequency of real-time or daily. Daily

What data for this category looks like

Data for this category comes from SIEM, EDR, NDR, and external threat intelligence sources, with an update frequency of real-time or daily. Daily processed documents include alarm disposal sheets, duty logs, threat intelligence notifications, daily and weekly reports. Single alarm entries include fields such as alarm time, source IP, target port, threat level, and disposal status. Duty logs include fields such as duty period, number of alarms, and disposal results. Weekly reports summarize total weekly alarms, escalation dispatch times, and other content.

Constraints imposed by these characteristics on HTTP interfaces and external systems

Since this category's data comes from multiple types of security devices and intelligence sources, HTTP interfaces must support pulling multi-source data and be compatible with return formats of different devices. Real-time updated alarm data requires interface call delay to meet business response requirements. Daily batch-updated documents must support resumable transfers to avoid repeated pulling. Documents such as alarm disposal sheets and duty logs include structured fields, so interfaces must support filtering and pulling data within a specified range by fields such as alarm time and threat level. Because the consequences of errors include missed real attacks, interfaces must have retry mechanisms and exception reporting capabilities to ensure uninterrupted data synchronization.

Configuration settings

This configuration applies to FastGPT v4.17.0.

Configuration ItemRecommended ApproachBasis for This Approach
Interface authentication configurationUse the Authorization parameter to carry a Bearer TokenAdapts to the authentication requirements of most SIEM and EDR devices, and ensures the security of interface calls
Variable replacement rulesBind the variables parameter according to document field namesAdapts to structured fields in alarm disposal sheets and duty logs, ensuring accurate variable replacement
Return data formatSpecify responseData as structured JSON formatFacilitates parsing of fields such as alarm time and threat level by security operation systems, improving analysis efficiency
Call timeout period300–600 secondsAdapts to the delay requirements of real-time alarm pulling, avoiding alarm misses caused by timeouts
Single pull limitFirst 100 entriesMatches the single-batch processing volume of daily analysis for SOC on-duty work, avoiding data overload
Retry times3 timesResponds to temporary network fluctuations that cause interface call failures, ensuring the stability of data synchronization

Three common mistakes

  • Phenomenon: Preset variables do not return correctly in the text splicing results of an API call workflow, while variables can be spliced correctly during debugging. Cause: Structured service fields are not passed through the variables parameter, or the parameter format does not meet interface requirements.
  • Phenomenon: Clicking a knowledge base link returned by a call interface pops up an error "Only support .txt, .m". Cause: The returned responseData contains resource links in non-permitted formats, or invalid links are not filtered.
  • Phenomenon: The scheduled synchronization interface for alarm data does not trigger, or synchronized data is incomplete. Cause: A reasonable call timeout period is not set, or the retry mechanism does not take effect, causing a failure to re-initiate after a single call fails.

How to confirm configuration is complete

  • Call the interface and pass a legitimate variables parameter, check whether the returned result contains expected variable replacement content.
  • View the responseData format returned by the interface, confirm that all fields meet the parsing requirements of security operation systems.
  • Simulate temporary network fluctuations, verify whether the interface retry mechanism triggers normally and completes data synchronization.
  • Check whether the Authorization parameter is carried correctly, ensure that alarm data can be pulled normally after authentication is passed.

The values provided are common starting points and should be evaluated using samples from actual deployments.
