Hi team,

In Chronicle SOAR case queries, I want to retrieve the Event Type value shown in the Events tab (for example RESOURCE_CREATION).

In the UI this appears under the TYPE column for the event. What is the correct field to reference in a case query to fetch this value?

Thanks!

In native dashboards, try case.alerts.metadata.collection_elements.references.event.metadata.event_type

Ex. 

case.alerts.metadata.collection_elements.references.event.metadata.event_type = $event_type
$event_type = "RESOURCE_CREATION"

match:
$event_type, case.alerts.metadata.case_name

SOAR connector as in the Chronicle connector? Or another connector? For the Chronicle connector, it seems to work for me. For others,  (ex. GTI Connector) it does not , returns EventType_Unspecified, and may be a different field instead.

Updated query I am trying:

$event_type = case.alerts.metadata.collection_elements.references.event.metadata.event_type
$case_id = case.response_platform_info.response_platform_id
$case_name = case.display_name
$case_status = case.status
case.alerts.metadata.type = "GCTI_FINDING" or case.alerts.metadata.type = "RULE_DETECTION"
case.source != "Simulated"

match:
$case_id, $case_name, $case_status

outcome:
$event_types = array_distinct($event_type)

order:
$case_id desc

Result:

In your initial post, is the screenshot from an alert that came in through Jira connector? Or an alert that came in through the SIEM connector?

I do not have a Jira connector, but based on my testing with the GTI connector, I am thinking the type field requires an enum value (like in SIEM with metadata.event_type = NETWORK_CONNECTION, USER_LOGIN, etc.). If the Jira connector does not follow this (it may, this is why I am asking for confirmation on your screenshot), I am thinking it then defaults to EVENTTYPE_UNSPECIFIED.
