Is there any way to get the number of cases triggered by specific entities through SIEM search? Or would that need SOAR?

Trying to make a dashboard widget that shows a SIEM entity and the number of cases it has triggered. I want to use SIEM search instead of SOAR because SOAR entities are username unique, so the same person appears as multiple entities, while SIEM already has it aggregated under a single entity.

Is there a way to achieve this?

So get a count for the number of cases a particular user entity is involved in?

You could try something like this:

case.response_platform_info.response_platform_id = $case_id
case.alerts.metadata.collection_elements.references.event.principal.hostname = $princ_host
case.alerts.metadata.collection_elements.references.event.principal.user.userid = $princ_user
$princ_user != ""

match:
$princ_user

outcome:
$case_count = count_distinct($case_id)

order:
$case_count desc
