SA-ThreatIntelligence `notable` macro is inactive
With the `notable` macro from SA-ThreatIntelligence
, the Threat Intelligence Supporting Add-on (SA), you can create a notable event in Splunk Enterprise Security and its respective incident in Splunk Mission Control. In a Splunk Enterprise Security search head environment, the `notable` macro from SA-ThreatIntelligence
is active by default, but users can activate or deactivate the macro through the Splunk Web menu.
The `notable` macro from SA-ThreatIntelligence is not the same as the `notable` macro from DA-ESS-ContentUpdate, the Splunk Enterprise Security Domain Add-on.
If the `notable` macro from SA-ThreatIntelligence
is inactive, you can reactivate it by following these steps:
- In the Splunk Web menu, select Settings and then Advanced search.
- Select Search macros.
- Using the drop-down list, select SA-ThreatIntelligence for the App.
- Locate the notable search macro in the table. You can filter the table results using the search bar.
- For the notable search macro, select Enable.
