Edit the Configuration of a STIX/TAXII Context Table

To edit the configuration of a STIX/TAXII context table:

  1. On the Overview tab, click the Options icon (icon-options.png) to the right of a specific STIX/TAXII table and select Edit. The Configuration panel opens on the right.

  2. On the Definition tab, you can modify the following information:

    • Context Table Name – Enter a new name for the context table.

      Note

      Changing context table names is currently prohibited in order to avoid breaking functionality in downstream applications.

    • STIX/TAXII Collector – Select a different STIX/TAXII context collector as the source of the context table.

  3. Click on the Review Attributes tab to modify the attribute mapping for the context table.

    The attribute mapping table has the following columns:

    • icon-visible.png – Shows whether a specific attribute is visible as a column in the context table. Use the icon next to each attribute to toggle the display on or off.

    • Source Attribute – Shows a default set of attributes available from your STIX/TAXII source. Some source attributes are listed simply as Calculated attribute. These are attributes that are calculated, either in format or in value. To view a description of an attribute and its calculation, hover over the Calculated attribute tag in the Source Attribute column.

    • Target Attribute – The Target Attributes column shows the Exabeam common information model attributes that are mapped to the STIX/TAXII attributes in your context table. For an easy-to-read table of the default attribute mapping, see one of the following:

    • icon-key.png – Indicates that an attribute is designated as the key attribute for the context table. The designated key and its mapping cannot be changed.

    • icon-lock.png – Indicates that an attribute and its mapping cannot be changed.

    The only modification you can make to the attribute mapping is to decide whether or not an attribute should be visible as a column when the context table is displayed. Use the visibility icon (icon-visible.png) to toggle the display on or off for a specific attribute.

  4. When you are satisfied with the configuration edits, click Update to save the changes.
