Use this tab to configure system preferences for your Visualizer
sessions. Configuring preferences here only affects the system settings
for your local Visualizer client. If you change any of these settings,
exit, reopen, and log in to the Visualizer to see the changes.
- File Paths section
- Specify the default file paths that the Visualizer uses to load
UMF files and open the Centrifuge Desktop graphing tool. If you use
the Centrifuge Desktop application to visualize entity graphs and
entity data, enter the full path to the application. By entering the
full path here, you can access Centrifuge directly from the Visualizer.
- Minimum Score Values section
- Define the values for the minimum likeness score thresholds that
you can select from when you create a Find by Resolution query or
an attribute alert generator.
- By default, this section contains the recommended values for each
of these thresholds. These recommended values are conservative values,
intended to return fewer false positives. You can redefine the values
to suit your goals.
- Generally, the higher you set the value of a minimum score threshold,
the fewer the results that are returned. The lower the value is set,
the more results that are returned.
- Is Entity
- Enter the lowest resolution score that defines when the search
entity defined in a Find by Resolution query or an attribute alert
generator and an entity in the entity database are the same entity.
- The default value is 100. This default means that when the search
entity and an identity are compared, if the resolution score is 100,
the entity returned is the same as the search entity.
- Close Entity Match
- Enter the lowest resolution score that defines when there is a
"close match" between the search entity defined by a Find by Resolution
query or an attribute alert generator and an entity in the entity
database.
- The default value is 85. This default means that when the search
entity and an entity from the entity database are compared, if the
minimum resolution score is equal to or greater than 85, but less
than the Is Entity score, the entity returned
is a close entity match to the search entity.
- Good Relationship
- Enter the lowest score that defines when there is a close or strong
relationship between the search entity defined by a Find by Resolution
query or an attribute alert generator and an entity in the entity
database. The value represents the strength of the relationship.
- The default value is 35, which means that when the search entity
and an entity from the entity database are compared, if the minimum
resolution score is equal to or greater than 35, the relationship
between the two is good.
- Any Relationship
- Enter the lowest score that defines when there is any relationship
between the search entity defined by a Find by Resolution query or
an attribute alert generator and an entity in the entity database.
(The value represents the strength of the relationship.)
- The default value is 1. This default means that when the search
entity and an entity from the entity database are compared, if the
minimum resolution score is equal to or greater than 1, the two have
a relationship.
- Alert Display Filter Settings section
- Use this section to configure the default alert filter settings
that affect which alert summaries display in the Alert
Summary window. Each time you open a new Alert
Summary window, the system uses these default settings.
- Maximum alerts to display in alert list
- Enter a number that represents the highest number of alerts to
display in the Alert List table of the Alert
Summary window.
- The default filter value is 100, which means that, by default,
only the first 100 alerts of any selected alert summary display.
- Minimum relationship score
- Enter the lowest relationship score to filter unassigned role
alert summaries lower than that score from the display in your Alert
Summary window.
- For example, to only see role alert summaries where the relationship
score between the two compared entities is equal to or greater than
50, enter 50 in this field.
- The default is 0, meaning that all alert summaries for your Visualizer
Analyst group that are currently in the "Unassigned" status display
by default.
- Number of days of alerts to display (including today)
- Enter a number 1-99 that indicates the number of days of alerts
from the current date to display. Keep in mind that this "day" is
a full calendar day, which starts at 0:00:00 and ends at 23:59:59.
- The number starts with the current date and counts backwards.
If you want to see alerts generated within the last 90 days (the current
day and 89 days prior), enter 90.
- The default value is 99, meaning that you see
alerts generated today and 98 calendar days before today.
- Include filtered role alerts check box
- (Optional) Select this check box to display all unassigned role
alerts generated, even those alerts below the minimum alert threshold
that is specified in the role alert rule configuration. This check
box only displays if your system administrator has enabled this feature.
- The default selection is cleared, meaning that only role alerts
currently unassigned that meet or exceed the minimum alert threshold
(as defined in the role alert rule) display in the Visualizer.
- Miscellaneous Settings section
- Use this section to enable hover help and the exit confirmation
window.
- Enable Tooltips
- If ToolTips are enabled, whenever your cursor hovers over a toolbar
icon or over an area where extra information is available, hover help
displays. By default, ToolTips are enabled.
- Show Exit Confirmation Dialog:
- This option determines whether the system displays a confirmation
dialog when you exit the Visualizer.
- Select this check box to confirm your choice to exit the Visualizer
every time. The default setting is selected.
- Clear this check box to exit the Visualizer without displaying
the Exit Confirmation dialog every time you
choose to exit and log out of the Visualizer.
