Online Troubleshooting and Retrospective Analysis for Security Monitoring and SOC Duty: Deployment and Upgrade

Data for this category comes from SIEM, EDR, NDR, and threat intelligence sources. Update cycles fall into two categories: real-time and daily.

What the data for this category looks like

Data for this category comes from SIEM, EDR, NDR, and threat intelligence sources. Update cycles fall into two categories: real-time and daily. Regularly produced documents include alarm handling sheets, duty logs, threat intelligence reports, daily and weekly reports. Data fields include unique alarm identifiers, handling status, associated threat intelligence IDs, duty staff identifiers, and handling duration. All data is generated around the alarm analysis and upgrade handling workflow.

What constraints these characteristics impose on deployment and upgrades

Due to multiple data sources and real-time updates, interface permissions for multiple data source types must be configured during deployment to avoid data synchronization interruptions. Daily threat intelligence reports and weekly report data require stable structured storage. Configure MONGODB_URI and PG_URL to store unstructured and structured data respectively. Concurrent queries for real-time alarms consume a large number of database connections. Set DB_MAX_LINK appropriately to avoid connection pool exhaustion. During upgrades, ensure real-time alarm caching is not interrupted. Use REDIS_URL to set up a temporary cache layer to prevent loss of alarm data during upgrades. FastGPT v4.17.0 includes optimizations for multi-data source adaptation in SOC scenarios. Strictly follow version configuration requirements.

How to Set Configurations

Configuration ItemRecommended ValueRationale
DB_MAX_LINK100–200Adapts to the concurrent query demands of real-time alarms in SOC scenarios, prevents database connection pool exhaustion
MONGODB_URIActual MongoDB cluster connection address for deployment, with authentication parametersStores unstructured document data such as historical alarm handling sheets and duty logs
REDIS_URLLocal Redis service address, default port 6379Caches real-time alarm data to reduce repeated query pressure on data sources such as SIEM and EDR
FILE_TOKEN_KEY32-bit randomly generated stringEncrypts and stores attachment files related to alarm handling, prevents sensitive information leaks
PG_URLEnterprise internal PostgreSQL database connection addressStores structured alarm fields and handling process data
FE_DOMAINDeployed frontend access domain nameConfigures callback addresses for alarm push and frontend page access paths

Three Common Misconfigurations

  • Symptom: When creating a knowledge base, the locally deployed ChatGLM2 model cannot be selected, and the model list in the interface is empty. Cause: MONGODB_URI is not correctly configured to store model access configurations, or REDIS_URL is not used to cache model running status, causing the system to fail to recognize the deployed local model.
  • Symptom: A startup error occurs during Sealos simple application deployment. The container log shows a database connection failure. Cause: Access permission configurations for PG_URL or MONGODB_URI are not correctly filled in, or external access permissions for database ports are not opened.
  • Symptom: CosyVoice2-0.5B cannot be used normally, while whisper-large-v3-turbo runs normally. Cause: STORAGE_S3_ENDPOINT is not configured to store temporary files generated by the speech model, or the FastGPT version does not meet the v4.17.0 adaptation requirements for the model.

How to Verify Successful Configuration

  • Access the configured FE_DOMAIN and navigate to the model access page in system settings. Confirm that the deployed local model appears in the optional list.
  • Perform a database connection test. Input the configured DB_MAX_LINK value, initiate concurrent query requests of the corresponding quantity. Confirm that no connection timeout or rejection errors occur.
  • Upload an alarm handling sheet attachment. Verify that the file storage path is generated normally, with no permission or format errors.
  • Trigger a simulated real-time alarm. Confirm that the data cached via REDIS_URL is displayed normally in the system's alarm list.
