Manage Live Lists
- The 'Live List Management' interface lets you create and manage 'Live Lists', 'Range List' and 'IP Range List'.
- A single list can have several 'Types', where different sets of values for the same field are used in different queries and correlation rules.
- For example, you can create a live list called 'IP Blacklist'. The list could have two 'types' - 'Internal' (blacklisted IPs of internal hosts) and 'External' (blacklisted IPs of external hosts).
- The two types can be used separately in queries and rules.
- You can also define the validity period of a value.
Please note that the number of lists that can be active at a time depends upon your subscription.
Note: The live list management interface only allows you to create and manage lists for various fields. The values for the fields can be manually added from the respective 'List Content Management' interface. See Manage Live List Content, Manage Range List Content and Manage IP Range List Content for more details. |
- To open the 'Live List Management' interface, click the 'Menu' button from the top right, choose 'Lists' options and then click 'Live List Management'.
The interface shows all existing live, range and IP lists. You can add new lists, enable or disable lists, and view list values.
