Configure Addy anomaly alert settings

You can configure anomaly alert settings that monitor when an anomaly, detected by the ExtraHop Addy™ service, has occurred on specific protocols. When the conditions configured in the alert settings are met, the ExtraHop system generates an anomaly alert, which you can view in the Alert History.

Anomaly alerts are useful for monitoring unusual behavior that you want to be notified of right away. For example, if you are worried about spikes in SSH sessions on specific servers, you can configure alert settings to watch for anomalies that occur over SSH and assign the alert configuration to SSH servers.

  1. Log into the Web UI on the ExtraHop Discover or Command appliance.
  2. Click the System Settings icon and then click Alerts.
  3. Click New to open the Alert Configuration window.
  4. Enter a unique name for the alert configuration in the Name field.
  5. From the Alert Type section, click Anomaly.
  6. Select the data source for the alert configuration from the Source Type list.
    You can assign the alert configuration only to the type of source selected.
  7. Select one of the following protocols options:
    Option Description
    Any protocol Watches for anomalies that occur over any protocol on assigned sources.
    Specific protocols Watches for anomalies that occur only over specified protocols on assigned sources.
  8. Select one of the following firing modes:
    Option Description
    Edge-Triggered Generates an alert only once when the alert conditions are true. The alert is generated again only if conditions are true after the metric value has returned to normal conditions twice.
    Level-Triggered Generates alerts continuously while the alert conditions are true for the specified time period.
  9. Click OK.
