Transaction Monitoring uses Threshold Editor to create and edit threshold sets. The Threshold Editor adds a threshold or threshold set to a scenario, pattern, or dataset to define tunable values. When scenarios are created, thresholds are established that enable you to modify the values of these thresholds in a production environment. Once the application is in the production environment, the user can use the Threshold Editor to modify threshold values of any installed scenario, and threshold sets to fine-tune how that scenario finds matches.
A threshold provides flexibility for changing variable values. Changes to values can be made by the Threshold Editor in the Administration Tools without having to change the values defined in the OFS Transaction Monitoring at the dataset or pattern level. These thresholds are applied to scenarios to find matches. Using this tool, you can enter a new value for a threshold (within a defined range) or reset the thresholds to their sample values
A scenario is installed using the pre-configured list of thresholds and values. You can create additional threshold sets to support specific business needs.
Threshold sets allow you to run the same scenario multiple times against a variety of sources (for example, currencies, or jurisdictions) with separate threshold values for each source. The sources are entries configured as per the customer requirements and are generated from a table.
NOTE |
Changing threshold values can generate significantly more or fewer alerts, depending upon the modifications made. |
To copy a threshold set:
1. Navigate to the Transaction Monitoring page.
2. Click
to
access the Navigation List. The Navigation
List displays the list of modules.
3. Click Threshold Editor in the Navigation List. The Threshold Editor page opens in a new window.
4. Click the Copy corresponding to the threshold set you want to copy.
5. Enter a threshold name for the copy and click Create.
To create a new threshold set, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to the Transaction Monitoring page.
2. Click
to
access the Navigation List. The Navigation
List displays the list of modules.
3. Click Threshold Editor in the Navigation List. The Threshold Editor page opens in a new window.
4. Click Add
on
the top right corner. The Create New Threshold
pane is displayed.
5. Provide the details as described in the following table:
Field |
Description |
Threshold Set |
Enter the name for the threshold set. |
Scenario |
Select the scenario pipeline. Depending on the scenario selected, additional configurable parameters are displayed. These parameters are specific to the selected scenario. |
Jurisdiction |
Select the jurisdiction. Jurisdiction refers to the division of data in the database based on criteria such as geographical boundaries, legal entities, and so on. |
Lookback (in days) |
Enter the lookback period. Lookback period refers to the number of seconds, minutes, hours, or days to lookback from the current date or time to create a time window which is used to consider cases for correlation. |
6. Click Save
to
save the changes. A new threshold set is created.
NOTE |
Pre-configured threshold sets cannot be edited or deleted. You can only edit or delete user-defined threshold sets. |
To edit a threshold set, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to the Threshold Editor page. The existing threshold sets are displayed on the left-hand side.
2. Click on the Threshold Set that you want to modify. The Edit Threshold pane is displayed.
3. Click Edit
on
the top right corner. Modify the required details.
4. Click Save
to
save the changes. The threshold set is modified.
NOTE |
You can modify the values of the existing parameters only, while you cannot add new parameters. |
NOTE |
Pre-configured threshold sets cannot be edited or deleted. You can only edit or delete user-defined threshold sets. |
To delete a threshold set, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to the Threshold Editor page. The existing threshold sets are displayed on the left-hand side.
2. Click Close
corresponding
to the threshold set that you want to delete. The threshold set is deleted.
