Code samples

Example 1

This example returns the variance of all integers.

// This rule creates a detection when the file size variance in 5 minutes for a user is over a threshold.
events:
 $e.user.userid = $userid
match:
 $userid over 5m
outcome:
  $p1 = window.variance($e.file.size) // yields 16 if the event file size values in the match window are [10, 14, 18].
condition:
  $e and #p1 > 10

Example 2

This example returns the variance of all floats.

events:
 $e.user.userid = $userid
match:
 $userid over 5m
outcome:
  $p1 = window.variance($e.file.size) // yields 20.148300 if the event file size values in the match window are [10.00, 14.80, 18.97].
condition:
  $e and #p1 > 10

Example 3

This example returns the variance of negative numbers.

events:
 $e.user.userid = $userid
match:
 $userid over 5m
outcome:
  $p1 = window.variance($e.file.size) // yields 2366.333333 if the event file size values in the match window are [-1, -56, -98].
condition:
  $e and #p1 > 10

Example 4

This example returns a small variance value.

events:
 $e.user.userid = $userid
match:
 $userid over 5m
outcome:
  $p1 = window.variance($e.file.size) // yields 0.000000 if the event file size values in the match window are [0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000100].
condition:
  $e and #p1 > 10

Example 5

This example returns a zero variance.

events:
 $e.user.userid = $userid
match:
 $userid over 5m
outcome:
  $p1 = window.variance($e.file.size) // yields 0.000000 if the event file size values in the match window are [1, 1, 1].
condition:
  $e and #p1 > 10

Example 6

This example returns the variance of positive and negative numbers.

events:
 $e.user.userid = $userid
match:
 $userid over 5m
outcome:
  $p1 = window.variance($e.file.size) // yields 1.000000 if the event file size values in the match window are [1, 0, -1].
condition:
  $e and #p1 > 10
