While summary of _any_ metron data ( perhaps by query etc ) would be good, let us not lose sight of the OP’s issue. Ever with summary|digest or one at a time, they are looking for sending mails to certain people based on rule. A pseudo path may be INDEXING -> New Topology or ?? -> evaluate rules

That makes a lot of sense, especially if you wanted the detail in the email as well. We could definitely use some good "reporting of alerts” functionality that would make something like that work. What do people think? Simon > On 13 Dec 2017, at 21:52, James Sirota wrote: > > I think there ma

I think there may be gaps in doing it with the profiler. You can record stats and counts of different alert types, and maybe even alert ids, but you can't cross-correlate these IDs to the alert body. At least not in the profiler. I was thinking about emailing something that looks like a zeppe

I agree with Simon. If you email each alert individually you will be overwhelmed. I think a better idea would be to email alert summaries periodically, which is more manageable. This is probably a feature worthy of consideration for Metron. 13.12.2017, 12:19, "Simon Elliston Ball" : > Metro

Metron generates alerts onto a Kafka queue, which can be used to integrate with Alert management tools, usually some sort of existing alert aggregation tool. An alternative approach common with this is to have a tool like Apache NiFi attach to the Metron alert feed and send email. The solution

Metron - Emailing Alerts

2017-12-13 Thread Ahmed Shah
Hello, Just wondering if Metron has a feature to email alerts based on rules that a user defines. Example: Rule A: Email the user 1...@1.com whenever ip_src_addr=100.2.10.* Rule B: Email the user 1...@1.com whenever payload contains "critical" If not, does anyone have any recommendations on wher
