Purpose
The firewall injection for Suricata IDS AB is used in the Use Case: Suricata IDS AB. This injection is composed of a short file to provide sample synthetic data on table ids.suricata.fast which also serves to test Suricata IDS Activeboard Use Case. The file is injected continuously (it starts over after injecting the last event) and events are sent at a frequency of 1 second.
Open synthetic data
Once the synthetic data has been launched, you can use the Open button at the top right of the card in Exchange to access the search window, where you can check the data table with the synthetic data. You can also access the data table using finders or LINQ via the Navigation pane (Data Search area → Explore your data tab).
Use synthetic data
After launching the synthetic data, you can use it in various contexts, such as the search window to perform operations to analyze the data, Activeboards to visualize and analyze the data graphically, or alerts to specify conditions to find anomalous events.
Synthetic data included inside a use case perform a key role in it, as they provide the necessary data to successfully understand what the use case intends to demonstrate.
