    • You can export and import Splunk Enterprise Security profiles settings from one ServiceNow AI Platform instance to a different ServiceNow AI Platform instance.

    Vorbereitungen

    The settings you can export and import include profile name, correlation rules, mappings, filters, aggregation criteria, field translations, fetched sample data, scheduling, and configuration tile source information.

    Role required: sn_si.ingestion_profile_admin

    Hinweis:
    Users with the sn_si.admin role can perform all operations available to a profile admin, as the sn_si.admin role inherits the required permissions by default.

    Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

    This functionality allows the security administrator to copy profiles that have been tested and verified on one ServiceNow AI Platform instance, for example on non-production, to another ServiceNow AI Platform instance, for example production, without the need to redo all configuration settings. The settings that are exported and imported include profile name, correlation rules, mappings, filters, aggregation criteria, field translations, fetched sample data, scheduling, and configuration tile source information.

    Hinweis:
    When you export a manual event forwarding profile type, the attachment data used for the sample field mapping is copied, however, the attachment file itself is not exported.
