CrowdStrike Discover

LAST UPDATED: NOVEMBER 12, 2025

Overview

CrowdStrike Falcon® Discover allows you to quickly identify and eliminate malicious or noncompliant activity by providing unmatched real-time visibility into the devices, users and applications in your network. Discover shows you the accounts that are logged in, the applications they're using, and the hardware and virtual hardware assets they're accessing.

D3 SOAR is providing REST operations to function with CrowdStrike Discover.

CrowdStrike Discover is available for use in:

D3 SOAR

V15.4.1.0+

Category

Identity Access Management

Deployment Options

Option II, Option IV

Known Limitations

  • The Falcon Discover API returns data only when the total response contains 10,000 or fewer items. Responses exceeding this limit trigger a 400 error. Use filter parameters to reduce the result set.

  • The default rate limit is 6,000 requests per minute per customer account. Each request, regardless of endpoint or client, counts toward this total. The limit is enforced using a sliding window.

  • Requests with missing, invalid, or expired bearer tokens are limited to 15 requests per minute per source IP address rather than per customer account.

  • When the rate limit is exceeded, subsequent requests return an HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests) error with the current rate-limit status included in the response headers.

For more information, refer to Falcon Discover APIs.
