  1. Enter the Splunk SH
  2. Go into the app Extreme Rules
  3. Use the following configuration values for the App Setup Page

    Data Store Configuration: Stand Alone
    Mongo Host: 127.0.0.1
    Mongo Port: 27020
    Password: Create a password and store in XDR Vault for records

  4. Once the App Setup actions commplete create the following directory on the Splunk Search Head as the splunk system user

    mkdir /opt/splunk/etc/apps/SCM-Framework/scm/exports
    

Base Context Setup

Content Team has to export the "live" Context and Models from XR on Caasp

This can manually be done from inside Splunk like the following. Keep in there may be more rule packages to process.

| xmExportRules RULE_PACKAGE XDRAuthFailureAbusiveSrc VERSION 2 APPLICATION XR
| xmExportRules RULE_PACKAGE XDRXRSignalASNVolume VERSION 2 APPLICATION XR

However XR app packs are built with scheduled jobs to backup the file from the local SH mongo nightly to local disk. Example: DA-ESS-AFS-XDR-XR-AuthenticationSecurity Searches: XDR - XR XDRAuthFailureAbusiveSrc - Backup and XDR - XR XDRXRSignalASNVolume - Backup

  1. The various json files need to be collected and copied to the new or restored search head if XR is missing.
  2. Copy the files into place as the Splunk user

    Once SCP to the SH make sure Splunk can read them
    chmod o+r *.json
    mv *.json /tmp
    sudo -iu splunk
    cp /tmp/*.json /opt/splunk/etc/apps/SCM-Framework/scm/exports/
    
  3. Import the rule packages from the json files into the XR app in Splunk. This populates Mongo.

    | xmImportRules APPLICATION XR VERSION 2 FILE /opt/splunk/etc/apps/SCM-Framework/scm/exports/XDRAuthFailureAbusiveSrc_rule-export.json REPLACE true
    | xmImportRules APPLICATION XR VERSION 2 FILE /opt/splunk/etc/apps/SCM-Framework/scm/exports/XDRXRSignalASNVolume_rule-export.json REPLACE true
    
  4. Now the system is ready for XR content to be enabled.
