Where is the documentation on how to use the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) app for Splunk?

Ok I installed the app, now what? I have some pretty pull down menus... what do you do next?

Per jkat54 on question 257867, please have a look at:

$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/DBIR_splunk_app/appserver/static/html/dbir_help_basic.html

Also, similar to Enterprise Security, the PCI app for Splunk, and ITSI, your data will need to be normalized to conform to the Common Information Model (CIM) to integrate with DBIR. More information on CIM can be found here: Common Information Model Add-on Manual. CIM app

Thanks for the reply. So, does this app somehow coorelate existing data in my splunk environment with Verizon's data? How will it obtain the Verizon information, does it down load it somehow?

[nnmiller]

Based on this press release, and looking at the app, it appears using the DBIR historical data which is contained within the application itself.

There are more HTML help files in that html directory I mentioned in my answer.

If you are not familiar with CIM, then I strongly suggest you read the CIM documentation before going further with this app, since understanding how to normalize data (source typing, event types, tags), is essential.
