Incidents Endpoint

Introduction

Incidents are a key resource in the Cisco Cloudlock application. They are triggered by the Cloudlock policy engine when a policy detection criteria result in a match in an object (document, field, folder, post, or file). Incidents in the Cloudlock application can be changed manually by a user (by updating incidents fields such as status or severity) or automatically as objects or events are reevaluated by the policy engine. Depending on the incident type, different incident information may be available.

Key information about an incident
Summary - Basic incident information and status
Details - Information about the relevant object(s) associated with this incident
Entity - Information about the object related to the incident
Matches - Matches represent the actual hits within the content (for content type policies)
