Use generic intelligence in search with inputintelligence

After you add generic intelligence to Splunk Enterprise Security, you can use the inputintelligence command to make use of the intelligence. See Add generic intelligence to Splunk Enterprise Security.

The inputintelligence command cannot be used with threat intelligence sources.

Description

Use the inputintelligence command to add intelligence from the threatlist directory to your search results. When downloaded, generic intelligence is parsed and stored in the $SPLUNK_DB/modinputs/threatlist directory.

Run the inputintelligence command on the search head where the input is configured within a search head cluster environment. Searches may fail if you run the inputintelligence command on search peers in a search head cluster.
