Hi Guys,

I have a quick question regarding the usability of meta-alerts within the 
investigator UI. We have a high(ish) volume log source (firewall logs, with 
accept packets being logged). Threat intelligence feeds will match connections 
to rouge IP addresses and the investigator UI is showing hits with a threat 
score as advertised.


The issue I'm experiencing is that I have to place a filter 'is_alert:true' 
within the search bar, otherwise I'll pull in millions of non-interesting 
events. This view gives me a powerful threat score alert feed, however, when I 
merge together a group of alerts into a meta-alert, it will not appear in this 
filtered search any more (because I've specified 'is_alert:true'). If I remove 
this filter I'll have to trundle through a few billion events to find the 
meta-alert! It's effectively disappeared into the ether.


Have I implemented this abnormally? It seems that the investigator UI could do 
with an implicit is_alert:true filter? Then allowing meta-grouped alerts to 
float into this implicit search base?


Cheers,

Oliver Fletcher
