What the data for this category looks like
Data sources for this category include SIEM, EDR, NDR, and external threat intelligence feeds. Update cycles cover real-time and daily updates. Daily associated documents include alarm disposal records, on-duty logs, threat intelligence bulletins, daily work reports, and weekly work reports. Data fields include alarm severity, attack type, disposal status, response duration, and no unified fixed units; they adjust according to the data source format. Service subjects include SOC analysts, security operation outsourcing teams, and enterprise security centers. Continuous follow-up of alarm judgment and escalation processes is required.
Constraints Imposed on Scheduled Tasks and Automation by These Characteristics
Dispersed data sources and widely varying update cycles require scheduled tasks to support multi-cycle trigger configurations, adapting to minute-level pulling of real-time alarms and daily synchronization of threat intelligence. Associated processing of multiple document types requires scheduled tasks to bind the knowledge base ID corresponding to the data source, avoiding cross-source data confusion. Alarm judgment and false positive elimination account for the majority of daily workload. Automated processes must prioritize high-priority alarms after scheduled triggering to prevent response timeouts. A failure retry mechanism must also be configured for real-time data streams to avoid missing real attacks due to single task interruptions.
How to Set Up Configurations
This document applies to FastGPT v4.17.0
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Task Trigger Cycle | Real-time alarms use 1–5 minutes, threat intelligence synchronization uses 24 hours | Adapt to data source update cycles; real-time alarms require rapid response, daily threat intelligence does not need frequent pulling |
| Knowledge Base Binding Rule | Bind the corresponding knowledge base ID by data source type | Avoid confusion of alarm data from different sources, ensuring judgment accuracy |
| Single Processing Alarm Limit | Top 20 high-priority alarms | Prevent single task overload leading to timeouts, prioritize high-risk events |
| Failure Retry Count | 3 times, interval 60 seconds | Address temporary network fluctuations or brief data source unavailability, reduce missed alarm risk |
| Task Timeout Threshold | 300 seconds | Match SOC duty response time requirements, avoid long task resource occupation |
| Alarm Filtering Rule | Exclude low-value alarms identified through testing | Reduce ineffective processing, focus on real threat events |
Three Common Misconfiguration Scenarios
- Symptom: Calling the knowledge base interface in the workflow returns a null value or cannot find the corresponding resource. Cause: The correct knowledge base ID was not bound according to the data source type, causing the task's pulled knowledge base to not match the data source.
- Symptom: The scheduled task is forcibly terminated after exceeding 180 seconds of execution. Cause: The task timeout threshold was not adjusted. The default timeout limit cannot cover complex alarm judgment and batch processing workflows.
- Symptom: Low-value alarm accumulation prevents subsequent tasks from running normally. Cause: No alarm filtering rules were configured, and invalid alarms were not excluded in advance, leading to task processing volume exceeding the single limit.
How to Confirm Successful Configuration
- Manually trigger a scheduled task. Check whether the task log correctly pulls alarm data from the corresponding data source, and verify that the knowledge base ID matches the configured value.
- Check the task execution duration to confirm it does not exceed the preset timeout threshold. Adjust the threshold to adapt to actual processing complexity.
- Review the alarm filtering results to confirm that preset low-value alarm types have been excluded, and remaining alarms meet priority requirements.
- Simulate a scenario where the data source is temporarily unavailable. Check whether the task triggers the failure retry mechanism, and confirm the retry count matches the configured requirements.
