QuestionQ3

Rules and subpatterns

FortiSIEM rules are typically evaluated as events are received (streaming).

How can a rule be created to evaluate events over an 8-hour interval?

  • A Configure a report to run the analytical query and run the report every 8 hours.
  • B Configure a crontab process on the FortiSIEM supervisor.
  • C Configure a 28,000-second time window under the Define Conditions tab.
  • D Set the Evaluation Mode to Scheduled under the General tab.
Explanation

Scheduled evaluation runs a FortiSIEM rule on a defined schedule, allowing it to evaluate collected events across a specified historical period such as eight hours. Streaming evaluation processes events as they arrive and is not the appropriate mode for this periodic analysis.
