INGESTION PIPELINE HEALTH

Ingestion lag, drops and parsing errors cause quiet data loss, so events never reach detection and nobody sees the gap. The pipeline fails in ways the SOC never feels until too late.

Actors

  • Security Data Engineer
  • SOC Manager

Systems / Vendors

  • Data lake / pipeline

Business Question

  • Detects ingestion lag, drops, parsing errors and data loss.
