Swimlane connector and action
editSwimlane connector and action
editThe Swimlane connector uses the Swimlane REST API to create Swimlane records.
Create connectors in Kibana
editYou can create connectors in Stack Management > Connectors or as needed when you’re creating a rule. For example:

Connector configuration
editSwimlane connectors have the following configuration properties:
- Name
- The name of the connector.
- URL
- Swimlane instance URL.
- Application ID
- Swimlane application ID.
- API token
- Swimlane API authentication token for HTTP Basic authentication.
Create preconfigured connectors
editIf you are running Kibana on-prem, you can define connectors by
adding xpack.actions.preconfigured
settings to your kibana.yml
file.
For example:
xpack.actions.preconfigured: my-swimlane: name: preconfigured-swimlane-connector-type actionTypeId: .swimlane config: apiUrl: https://elastic.swimlaneurl.us appId: app-id mappings: alertIdConfig: fieldType: text id: agp4s key: alert-id name: Alert ID caseIdConfig: fieldType: text id: ae1mi key: case-id name: Case ID caseNameConfig: fieldType: text id: anxnr key: case-name name: Case Name commentsConfig: fieldType: comments id: au18d key: comments name: Comments descriptionConfig: fieldType: text id: ae1gd key: description name: Description ruleNameConfig: fieldType: text id: avfsl key: rule-name name: Rule Name severityConfig: fieldType: text id: a71ik key: severity name: severity secrets: apiToken: tokenkeystorevalue
Config defines information for the connector type.
-
apiUrl
- An address that corresponds to URL.
-
appId
- A key that corresponds to Application ID.
Secrets defines sensitive information for the connector type.
-
apiToken
- A string that corresponds to API Token. Should be stored in the Kibana keystore.
Test connectors
editYou can test connectors with the run connector API or as you’re creating or editing the connector in Kibana. For example:

Swimlane actions have the following configuration properties.
- Comments
- Additional information for the client, such as how to troubleshoot the issue.
- Severity
- The severity of the incident.
Alert ID and Rule Name are filled automatically. Specifically, Alert ID is set to {{alert.id}}
and Rule Name to {{rule.name}}
.
