Outliers parameters

A list of Outliers parameters and what each one controls.

Though not recommended, it is possible to fine-tune the Outlier engine's parameters. If you'd like to adjust the parameters, contact IBM Guardium support.

To view and edit Outliers parameters, go to Global settings > Analytics settings in the Guardium® Insights UI.

	Parameter name	Description	Default value	UI/API
1	alertsPerDay	Budget of outlier alerts per day. This parameter has a learning period.	24	UI
3	cleanupKeepDays	Purge of unused users	90	API
9	maxMessageAlertsTopScores	Details on high-volume Outliers	500	UI
11	minDaysForAlerts	Warm up time, in days; max 14 (budgetTrainingDays) according to GDP GuardAPI doc.	7	UI
14	sensitiveObjectGroup	List of group IDs, separated by commas	Sensitive objects	UI
15	Admin Users	List of group IDs, separated by commas	Admin users	UI

The details in the table are the parameter values that are assigned by default. You can also edit parameters with APIs, in addition to the UI.

Activate the SWAGGER UI to run APIs, by running these commands

oc login … 
oc patch route staging-apigateway-docs --type merge -n staging -p "{\"spec\":{\"path\": \"/docs\" }}"

Then, go to the SWAGGER UI. To get the current configuration parameters, use:

GET /api/v1/configs?type=Analytics

To update one or more configuration parameters, use:

PATCH /api/v1/configs/{id}

For example, set the ID you see in the GET request both in the form and when you complete the details. Complete the details to update as follows. (More than one parameter or option can be set, if you’d like. Separate options with a comma):

{
  "Name": "",
  "Options": {
    "demoMode": "1"

  },
  "_id": "62bb14cd668afc81aaadad47"
}

Outliers-engine reflects the demoMode and other parameter values before each data source it starts to work on.
