Alert graph

The Alert graph produced by the graphing tool displays a specific role alert, based on the alert ID. The Alert graph helps you to visualize the entities involved in the role alert and the attributes that link the entities.

Example of an Alert graph
A role alert occurs when one or more entities is linked through a relationship that meets or exceeds a configured role alert rule. Role alerts are based on configured roles and role alert rules and can indicate:
  • a warning or a problem, such as a customer is linked to a suspect on a watch list
  • relationships of interest, such as a customer is also a vendor or an employee is linked to several customers through a particular phone number

Tips for using the Alert Graph

  • If you see a related entities indicator for an entity involved in the alert, use the Show remaining related entities right-click menu option to show the remaining related entities. The graph redraws to display all the entities related to the chosen entity. The graph also automatically links those remaining entities to any existing entities on the graph to which those remaining entities are also related.
  • The Alert graph displays only the attributes for each entity that contributed to the alert. To see all the attributes associated with a particular entity, right-click on the entity and select Show remaining attributes.
  • To see the entity resume for a particular entity on the graph, right-click on the entity and select Show resume. The entity resume provides additional details about the entity, including the identities of that entity and other alerts that the entity is involved in. This right-click menu option is only available if the link is correctly configured and you have access to the product that generates entity resumes, such as the Analyst toolkit.
