XSIAM Content Update Notifications pack

PA_nts — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 06:23:24 GMT

Hi,

has anyone deployed this to date and have it working?

just started looking at this as a means to notify our platform team when we need to perform content updates etc as we manage a number of xsiam tenants..

and out the box both the playbooks fails, so would imagine some customization is needed.

the deployment documentation is sparse at best also

thanks

Hello @pa_tv

With reference to your query, I understand that you are looking to receive notifications for content pack updates in your Cortex XSIAM tenant. In this case, you can leverage the "Content Update Manager" playbook available within Cortex XSIAM, which helps both in notifying about updates and managing content pack upgrades through automation. Attached screenshot of the playbook for your reference.

If I have misunderstood your requirement, please feel free to clarify I would be happy to assist you further.

If this suggestion addresses your query, kindly consider giving it a like

Thanks & Regards,

Thanks.. and yes this is the correct playbook to use..

however out the box it wont work.. and needs some customization.. and the documentation is sparse to say the least to get it working..

for one.. in my case to have it send an email, you have to edit the 'playbook start' task and add the email address you want it to be sent to in here (under inputs/outputs)

then second..the 'check for updates' task will fail if you don't have a core_api_rest datasource and api key defined.

thirdly.. in the same settings under 'playbook start' you need to change the 'demisto_rest_api_name' to your rest api datasource instance name defined above.

this playbook also uses the subplaybook 'check for content installation' to do the actual updates.. but here also, you need to follow same process as third item above. to add the rest api instance name..

I am slowly working my way though this playbook if and when i get time.. i am still not able to get it to update the content packs.. for now I can

trigger the playbook, sends me an email, i click the link as select to update the content packs.. but the update fails still.. so it is a work in progress.
