Improve incident matching by moving beyond cosine similarity for alert analysis
Action Steps
- Analyze alert data to identify limitations of cosine similarity
- Explore alternative similarity metrics such as Jaccard or Levenshtein distance
- Implement a custom alert matching system using a suitable programming language
- Test and refine the system using real-world alert data
- Integrate the new system with existing incident management tools
