Predictive Analytics dashboard

Use the Predictive Analytics dashboard to search for different varieties of anomalous events in your data. Predictive Analytics uses the predictive analysis functionality in Splunk to provide statistical information about the results, and identify outliers in your data.

These field filter options are available:

Filter	Description
Data Model	Specifies the data model (from a drop-down list) for the search. Available data models are shown in the drop-down list. Choose a data model on which to base your search.
Object	Specifies the object within the data model for the search. Objects are searches that are available in the selected data model.
Function	Specifies the function within the object for the search Functions specify the type of analysis to perform on the search results. For example, choose "avg" to analyze the average of search results. Choose "dc" to create a distinct count of the results.
Attribute	Specifies the constraint attributes within the object for the search Attributes are constraints on the search results. For example, choose "src" to look at results from sources.
Time range	Specify the time range for the search

Choose a data model, object, function, attribute, and time range to analyze and click Search.

Prediction Over Time

The Prediction Over Time panel shows a predictive analysis of the results over time, based on the time range you chose. The shaded area shows results that fall within two standard deviations of the mean value of the total search results.

Outliers

The Outliers panel shows those results that fall outside of two standard deviations of the search results.

Create a correlation search

From this dashboard, create a correlation search based on the search parameters for your current predictive analytics search. This correlation search will create an alert when the correlation search returns an event.

Click Make Correlation Search... to open the Create Correlation Search dialog.

Select the Security domain and Severity for the notable event created by this search. Add a search name and search description. Click Save.

To view and edit correlation searches, go to Configure > Correlation Searches. See "Modify correlation searches" in the Splunk App for Enterprise Security Installation and Configuration Manual for more information.
