Understanding the UEBA Dashboards

User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) dashboards provide insight into user and asset activity, behavioral anomalies, and associated risk scores.

The UEBA dashboards use detections and findings from the Risk data model to help you identify abnormal behavior and prioritize investigations. They combine high-level visualizations and detailed analysis views so you can monitor trends, investigate suspicious activity, and understand why a user or asset’s risk score increased.

Note: You cannot modify the underlying SPL or detection logic of UEBA detections.

UEBA Dashboards Overview

The following dashboards are available in the UEBA app:

DashboardDescription
UEBA OverviewDisplays high-level behavioral metrics and overall entity risk across your environment. Use it to identify entities with the highest recent activity or anomalous behavior.
User AnalysisProvides detailed behavioral and contextual information for a specific user, including risk score, connections, detections, and investigations.
Asset AnalysisDisplays the same analytical panels as the User Analysis dashboard but focused on assets such as servers, endpoints, or devices.
Entity Risk ScoreShows the current and historical risk score for an entity, with detailed contributions by factor and MITRE ATT&CK tactic.
Entity Detection ActivityLists detections, findings, and associated scores for the selected entity. Includes options to view risk details, finding exclusions, and UEBA baselines.
All Related InvestigationsDisplays investigations from Mission Control that are linked to the selected user or asset.
Tip: It is normal for dashboards to appear empty right after setup. Risk calculations and lookups might take 10–30 minutes to populate. If no data appears after one hour, verify findings in index=risk before contacting Splunk Support.

Key Panels in the User and Asset Analysis Dashboards

PanelDescription
Entity Risk ScoreDisplays the entity’s calculated risk score for the past seven days with a trend sparkline. Select Show calculation to view score contributions and MITRE ATT&CK mappings.
Entity DetailsShows enriched information from the Assets and Identities tables to help you understand where the entity fits within your organization.
Connection PanelsDisplay related users and assets based on recent activity. Select Show related users and connections to explore additional relationships.
Detection Heat MapVisualizes the number of findings per detection. Hover over a data point for additional context about the findings.
Entity Detection ActivityLists detections with finding counts, score contributions, and first/last seen timestamps. Use the Actions icons to view risk details, open finding exclusions, or display UEBA baselines.
Contributing RiskShows details about findings or intermediate findings contributing to the overall risk score.
Finding ExclusionsOpens the Finding Exclusions workflow to exclude intermediate findings from a detection.
UEBA Baseline VisualizationsDisplays an interactive visualization of the UEBA model baseline and anomalies.
All Related InvestigationsLists current and past investigations associated with the selected user or asset, sourced from Mission Control.
Look-back PeriodLets you adjust the time range for data shown in dashboard panels (for example, Last 7 days or Last 30 days).
