Question 3 of 91

Consider the following series of events:
4:00 GMT Detection runs for interval 3:30-4:00
4:30 GMT Detection runs for interval 4:00-4:30
4:35 GMT Event 1 occurs on an endpoint
4:45 GMT Event 1 is indexed
5:00 GMT Detection runs for interval 4:30-5:00
5:05 GMT Event 1 finding is added to ES with timestamp 4:35
5:24 GMT Event 2 occurs on an endpoint
5:30 GMT Detection runs for interval 5:00-5:30
5:35 GMT Event 2 is indexed
6:00 GMT Detection runs for interval 5:30-6:00
What is the problem with the detection schedule chosen and how can it be solved?

The time window for the detection is too large, causing duplicate alerts.

The logs are delayed so the detection time window needs to be increased.

The time window for the detection is too small, causing duplicate alerts.

The logs are delayed so the detection time window needs to be decreased.
