Keyword Arguments

Name	Service	Uber	Type	Datatype	Description
assigned_to_uuid			body	string	A user ID to assign the detection to.
body			body	string	This endpoint modifies attributes (state and assignee) of detections. This endpoint accepts a query formatted as a JSON array of key-value pairs. You can update one or more attributes one or more detections with a single request. assigned_to_uuid A user ID, such as 1234567891234567891 ids One or more detection IDs, which you can find with the query_detects method, the Falcon console, or the Streaming API. show_in_ui true: This detection is displayed in Falcon false: This detection is not displayed in Falcon. Most commonly used together with the status key's false_positive value. status new in_progress true_positive false_positive ignored comment Optional comment to add to the detection. Comments are displayed with the detection in Falcon and usually used to provide context or notes for other Falcon users. A detection can have multiple comments over time. If you are using the other available keyword arguments, the body keyword is NOT REQUIRED when using this operation.
comment			body	string	Optional comment to add to the detection. Comments are displayed with the detection in Falcon and are usually used to provide context or notes for other Falcon users. A detection can have multiple comments over time.
ids			body	string or list of strings	ID(s) of the detection to update. String or list of strings.
show_in_ui			body	boolean	Boolean determining if this detection is displayed in the Falcon console.
status			body	string	Current status of the detection. Allowed values: ignored new in_progress true_positive false_positive

GetDetectSummaries

View information about detections

PEP8 method name

get_detect_summaries

Content-Type

• Consumes: application/json
• Produces: application/json

Keyword Arguments

Name	Service	Uber	Type	Datatype	Description
body			body	string	Full body payload in JSON format.
