Overview¶
Functions allowing interactions with Artifacts.

This package contains 4 functions allowing you to interact with SOAR Artifacts for use with other automations.
Key Features¶
Searching for Artifacts
Add and Remove Tags
Deleting Artifacts
Requirements¶
This app supports the IBM Security QRadar SOAR Platform and the IBM Security QRadar SOAR for IBM Cloud Pak for Security.
SOAR platform¶
The SOAR platform supports two app deployment mechanisms, Edge Gateway (also known as App Host) and integration server.
If deploying to a SOAR platform with an App Host, the requirements are:
SOAR platform >=
51.0.4.0.10288.The app is in a container-based format (available from the AppExchange as a
zipfile).
If deploying to a SOAR platform with an integration server, the requirements are:
SOAR platform >=
51.0.4.0.10288.The app is in the older integration format (available from the AppExchange as a
zipfile which contains atar.gzfile).Integration server is running
resilient-circuits>=51.0.0.If using an API key account, make sure the account provides the following minimum permissions:
Name

The following SOAR platform guides provide additional information:
Edge Gateway Deployment Guide or App Host Deployment Guide: provides installation, configuration, and troubleshooting information, including proxy server settings.
Integration Server Guide: provides installation, configuration, and troubleshooting information, including proxy server settings.
System Administrator Guide: provides the procedure to install, configure and deploy apps.
The above guides are available on the IBM Documentation website at ibm.biz/soar-docs. On this web page, select your SOAR platform version. On the follow-on page, you can find the Edge Gateway Deployment Guide, App Host Deployment Guide, or Integration Server Guide by expanding Apps in the Table of Contents pane. The System Administrator Guide is available by expanding System Administrator.
Cloud Pak for Security¶
If you are deploying to IBM Cloud Pak for Security, the requirements are:
IBM Cloud Pak for Security >=
1.10.15.Cloud Pak is configured with an Edge Gateway.
The app is in a container-based format (available from the AppExchange as a
zipfile).
The following Cloud Pak guides provide additional information:
Edge Gateway Deployment Guide or App Host Deployment Guide: provides installation, configuration, and troubleshooting information, including proxy server settings. From the Table of Contents, select Case Management and Orchestration & Automation > Orchestration and Automation Apps.
System Administrator Guide: provides information to install, configure, and deploy apps. From the IBM Cloud Pak for Security IBM Documentation table of contents, select Case Management and Orchestration & Automation > System administrator.
These guides are available on the IBM Documentation website at ibm.biz/cp4s-docs. From this web page, select your IBM Cloud Pak for Security version. From the version-specific IBM Documentation page, select Case Management and Orchestration & Automation.
Proxy Server¶
The app does support a proxy server.
Python Environment¶
Python 3.9, 3.11, and 3.12 are officially supported. When deployed as an app, the app runs on Python 3.11. Additional package dependencies may exist for each of these packages:
resilient-circuits>=51.0.0
Installation¶
Install¶
To install or uninstall an App or Integration on the SOAR platform, see the documentation at ibm.biz/soar-docs.
To install or uninstall an App on IBM Cloud Pak for Security, see the documentation at ibm.biz/cp4s-docs and follow the instructions above to navigate to Orchestration and Automation.
App Configuration¶
No configuration required for this integration.
