Hi all,

How can we resolve the issue of Cycognito Correlation search not triggering any alerts in Splunk over the past month?

index= cycog sourcetype="cycognito:issue" severity="Critical"
| stats count, values(affected_asset) as affected_asset, values(title) as title, values(summary) as description, values(severity) as severity, values(confidence) as confidence, values(detection_complexity) as detection_complexity, values("evidence.evidence") as evidence, values(exploitation_method) as exploitation_method, earliest(first_detected) as first_detected, latest(last_detected) as last_detected, values(organizations) as organization by cycognito_id
| eval date_found=strptime(first_detected,"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%QZ")
| eval control_time = relative_time(now(), "-24h")
| where date_found >control_time

When you run the search manually, does it detect any Critical events?  If not, then the alert won't trigger.  Debug the query one pipe at a time to see where it fails to detect the desired events.

Does the alert write to the Triggering Alerts dashboard?  If so, are you seeing anything there?

Is it possible all of the detected events have an ID that were previously reported and are now throttled?

@richgalloway ,

Hi

When I manually execute the search, I noticed that by excluding the last line from the search query, I am able to visualize the critical events successfully. Nevertheless, despite this observation, it's worth noting that there are no alerts appearing in the incident review panel dashboard.

The last line is the one that determines if the event happened in the last 24 hours or not.  If the results fail that test then there's no need for the alert to trigger.  Sounds like it's working as intended, but maybe the intentions aren't clear?
