Information

You can start a new playbook from a blank template or a template with content. The difference is that a blank template doesn’t have any defined steps, whereas a template with content has one or more predefined steps that you can edit and add to.

3. All playbooks rely on data coming in. The most common way to ingest data is with event types. (If you want to ingest data using a step, such as a computation step, skip this step.)

• Click the Source icon in the top icon bar. Select one or more event types. If you don't see the event type you want, click Create a new Event Type to add a new one.
• Click Add to add the event type step to your playbook.

4. Use the date/time controls at the top to set a date/time range for the playbook data, and select a time zone from the dropdown list. Choose a range that is just wide enough for you to see data, but not so wide that you'll need to wait for query results. Depending on your data, you might need to adjust the interval to display data.

If you change the date when viewing data, the data you’re viewing updates automatically. By default, it will be 15 minutes.
5. Click the event type box to add details. The event type box shifts to the left panel and the settings show on the right. The step that you're focusing on is highlighted in yellow.

The results table shows all the data that matches the selected step for the specified time range. Scrolling and pagination controls are available.

You can now build out your playbook by adding additional steps. Based on how you are constructing your playbook, LogicHub may have some recommendations for what to do next. To view any LogicHub recommendations, click + on a step and select View Recommendations.

Additionally, the playbook allows you to copy and paste the time period from one flow to another in Advanced Mode. When you click on the copy icon in the time period field, a Copied to clipboard message appears and you can use the copied time period in another flow.

Manage Playbook in Advanced Mode:

Playbook editor in Advanced Mode has multiple icons to gather and use multiple inputs and apply data reduction and advanced correlation techniques to generate a single score or ranking as the output for each event. The playbook results in a decision for each event about whether it is acceptable or suspicious.

• Node Settings Pane

Select and/or choose respective icons in the top icon bar with multiple icons to manage the Playbook in advanced mode.

How to Tag the Steps to Present

Presentation mode is useful if you have a large playbook or one that performs multiple functions and wants to focus on a particular area of interest. The playbook itself remains the same. A single click allows you to toggle between displaying the selected steps and displaying the entire playbook by adding tags.

If you have a large playbook, it may be useful to view only a portion of it rather than the complete playbook. This can be accomplished by adding custom tags that make it simple to recognize and group a set of nodes (steps).

1. Open the playbook in Advanced Mode.
2. Select the step that you want to include in the presentation.
3. On the right pane, in the query area, enter the tag name and press return. You can add multiple tags to add in the presentation.

In the following playbook, the three steps in the highlighted box are tagged for the presentation.

Click on the Present icon to display the tagged nodes. To change back to the full playbook, click the Present icon again.

How to Use Present Mode

After tagging the group of nodes, click on the Present icon on the top-right corner of the playbook designer. The Presentations pane opens up on the left side of the page that consists of the following items:

• Tagged Nodes: This section will display each node that you have tagged in the playbook. Once you create the tags for each node, it cannot be deleted unless you go to the playbook and delete the tags to remove them. Each tag is called slides in the present mode. In the tagged nodes, click on the three dots to Add to New Presentation. A new presentation will be created below, with the three dots containing the following options.

The three dots for slides show the following options.

• New Presentation: Click New Presentation to add a new presentation and slides.
• Add Slide: Click Add Slide to add a new slide. You can select the tags that you want them to appear on the slide and click Save.

How to Make Default Slide

To set a slide as the default, hover your cursor next to the three dots to see the pin icon, and then click it to make the slide the default. If there is no default set, the slide that was most recently opened will be displayed.

Settings Pane (Right hand side)

Click +Actions on the Settings Pane on the right side allows to

• Edit Node details: Display Name, Node Name and Description
• Row Description: Name or provide a description for the Row.
• Create Baseline: Allows you to compare current (most recent) behavior with past behavior to determine whether the current behavior is consistent.
• Export Output Data as CSV: This allows you to download the results table in .csv format.
• Three dot option (mid-line ellipsis) on the top right corner can be used to Close All tabs or Close Other Tabs.

Also, the Settings pane accommodates the options Available Operators and UDFs and Update Table

• Available Operators and UDFs: Select the Available Operators and UDFs option to display the applicable Operator Catalog and UDFs for the respective Node highlighted in yellow color on left side pane.
• Update Table: Select the Update Table option to reflect the latest table data.

Edit Playbook in Advanced Mode:

1. Navigate to the My Library drop-down menu on the left navigation pane and select Playbooks.
2. Use the filters and search option to find the playbook in the list that is to be edited.
3. Click the midline ellipsis icon (...) to the right of the respective playbook listing and select Edit in advanced mode to open the advanced playbook designer.
