@cestella Thanks for laying out your other ideas for Medium and Longer
term. We can open those up for community debate on separate JIRAs, but it was
very worthwhile for you to begin laying those out here. They provided some
good context.
@ottobackwards Not sure which part your comment was in reference to. Do
you have any concerns specifically with the "Near Term" items that I will
tackle as part of this PR? I'd like to make sure we reach consensus on those
first. We can debate the other items later (if that works for you.)
> Triage Metrics Produced by the Profiler

> h3. Problem
> The motivating example is that I would like to create an alert if the number
> of inbound flows to any host over a 15 minute interval is abnormal.
> The value being interrogated here, the number of inbound flows, is not a
> static value contained within any single telemetry message. This value is
> calculated across multiple messages by the Profiler. The current Threat
> Triage process cannot be used to interrogate values calculated by the
> Profiler.
> h3. Proposed Solution
> I am proposing that we treat the Profiler as a source of telemetry. The
> measurements captured by the Profiler would be enqueued into a Kafka topic.
> We would then treat those Profiler messages like any other telemetry. We
> would parse, enrich, triage, and index those messages.
> This would have the following advantages.
> 1. We would be able to reuse the same threat triage mechanism for values
> calculated by the Profiler.
> 2. We would be able to generate profiles from the profiled data - aka
> meta-profiles anyone?
