Run Responders and Review Reports for an Alert#

Cortex responders execute actions on cases, alerts, observables, tasks, and task logs.

Run responders on an alert to execute automated actions such as closing an external ticket or performing a predefined response within TheHive.

Only responders authorized for alerts and matching their TLP (traffic light protocol) and PAP (permissible actions protocol) levels are available.

Observables not included

Running a responder on an alert doesn't run it on the observables linked to the alert. To run responders on an observable, see Run Responders and Review Reports for an Observable.
