Link Incidents With Related Artifacts

LAST UPDATED: AUG 27, 2024

Links incidents that have related artifacts in 3 steps. First, search for relevant artifacts by their type and/or name. With the relevant artifacts identified, specify if incidents should be linked only if they have the exact set of artifacts or if they share any of the artifacts. Lastly, refine the selection by filtering the relevant incidents based on site, status, time range, and by limiting the number of incidents linked.

READER NOTE

This command is only applicable within an Incident Playbook.
