Splunk SOAR

Getting fields from artifact in playbook

Hello! This is probably a simple question but I've been kind of struggling with it. I'm building out my first playbook which triggers off of new artifacts. The artifacts include fields for: type, value, tag. What I'm trying to do is have those fields from the artifact passed directly into a custom code block in my playbook. How do I go about accessing those fields?

I've tried using phantom.collect2(container=container, datapath=["artifact:FIELD_NAME*"]) in the code block but it doesn't return anything. I thought maybe I needed to setup custom fields to define type, value and tag in the custom fields settings, but that didn't change anything either. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Thanks! I initially tried that call and  wasn't working for me but I ended up realizing it was because I was adding my fields to the "Custom fields" and not the "CEF" settings.

After speaking with the Splunk team it sounds like Custom fields are meant for reference within SOAR, like adding some information into the HUD, whereas CEF is what's actually used to access the artifact data.

I appreciate your reply

Try this:

phantom.collect2(container=container, datapath=["artifact:*.cef.FIELD_NAME"])
