Custom Event Ingestion via Splunk Enterprise - Custom Query
Details
This workflow searches for network detections events in a Splunk Enterprise tenant based on a custom search query (see template) and ingest them in the XDR Data Analytics Platform (detection findings) for incident generation. It is designed to run every X minutes (default 5) via a schedule rule
