How to make Splunk ES override urgency changes?

[Dworsnop]

Hi all,

I have a correlation search that passes alerts from another system into ES and I need to prevent the urgency of the alert from being changed by ES.

Essentially I (think I) need ES to ignore the priority of any asset or identity associated with the incident so that the urgency doesn't change.

Cany anyone offer any advice on how to do this?

Thanks very much  🙂

Edit: I should add, I didn't create the original correlation search and I don't have much experience in this area, hence the question. Thanks again!

That is correct.

This is covered in the ES docs. https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/ES/7.0.2/User/Howurgencyisassigned

Thanks for the signposting @starcher 

Presumably I'm on the right lines here... "Severity defined in the search syntax results in an event where severity takes precedence over the severity defined in the notable event adaptive response action."

Therefore all I need to do is add " | eval severity="high" " to the end of my correlation search?
