Managing Live List Content
The values for a Live List can be populated in two ways:
- The values can be manually entered to the list.
- Correlation rules that are used for identifying events based on certain criteria and to generate incidents, can be configured to feed the values from the events identified by it, to the live lists. Refer to the explanation of List Mappings in the section Managing Rules.
This section explains on manually adding values to lists and managing existing values. The 'Live List Content Management' interface allows the administrator to view the values added to all or selected lists, manually add new values, edit existing values and remove values from a list.
To open the 'Live List Content Management' interface, click the 'Menu' button from the top right, choose 'Lists' and then click 'Live List Content Management'.
By default, the Live List Contents table shows the values added to all the lists. You can filter the table to view the values added to a specific list using the filter options from the top.
