SecurityEventData

textarea
Properties
Nillable
Description
The set of features about the API activity that triggered this anomaly event.

Let’s say, for example, that a user typically downloads 10 accounts but then they deviate from that pattern and download 1,000 accounts. This event is triggered and the contributing features are captured in this field. Potential features include row count, column count, average row size, the day of week, and the browser’s user agent used for the report activity. The data captured in this field also shows how much a particular feature contributed to this anomaly event being triggered, represented as a percentage. The data is in JSON format.

Example
This example shows that the average row count contributed more than 95% to the anomaly being triggered. Other anomalous attributes, such as the autonomous system, day of the week the report was run, the browser used, and the number of columns, contributed much less.
