Propagation labels problem

L3 Networker

Hi everybody, I am really having a hard time syncing content with tenants because propagation labels aren't working properly for me. To give you an example, I create an xsoarcommunity tenant and set the propagation label to carbon_test so that I can't sync cortex xdr content with this tenant by mistake. Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR - Investigation and Response content pack is already installed and I set the propagation label to xdr_test and xdr_master. In theory this pack shouldn't be syncable with the tenant I just created. Here is what happens, every single component of the content pack is now syncable.

Another thing to note is that if I set the propagation label to all in this case only the content pack is syncable, not every component.

I upgraded from 6.6 to 6.8 just to check if the latest release fixed the issue but unfortunately it didn't.

 

did I misunderstand how propagation labels work? If not is there anything I can do to fix this?

Hello Enes, I see your issue and agree there must be something more to this. I took a look at our documentation and found this note: 

"As of version 6.0, if there is no relevant propagation tag on your content, for example, a script or playbook, but it is a dependency of a package that you do propagate to a tenant, the unlabeled content is still synced to the tenant." You can find the full article here: https://docs-cortex.paloaltonetworks.com/r/Cortex-XSOAR/6.8/Cortex-XSOAR-Multi-Tenant-Guide/Manage-C...

 

Maybe this is the reason why the packages are being synced to the tenants even though they shouldn't. I also took a look at this other article that talks about content dependencies and syncing even when the propagation labels don't match so please read this one as well: https://docs-cortex.paloaltonetworks.com/r/Cortex-XSOAR/6.8/Cortex-XSOAR-Multi-Tenant-Guide/Content-...

 

Let me know if any of the above fixes your issue or if you need further assistance. 

Hi, thank you for your reply. Propagation confusion still triggers on a brand new server. After creation of the multi tenant server, a content pack carbon black edr is installed and  a new tenant is created. Even though the propagation label of the content pack and the tenant does not match, contents still propagate to the tenant.

> but it is a dependency of a package that you do propagate to a tenant, the unlabeled content is still synced to the tenant

 

In my understanding and according to the documentation on a brand new server this should happen only when a builtin component has cb edr as a dependency which is unlikely

1- I created a brand new tenant (not synced in the creation process)

2- Removed the propagation label "all" from all the content packs and set a new one just to see how we are dealing with dependencies.

3- Checked playbooks,integrations and automations to see if any playbooks are being propagated with labels.

4- Searched for incident fields that run a display script or run incident field change scripts.

 

I am stuck at this point, according to the screenshot below only way a playbook is propagated if it is a dependency of another playbook or incident type. There is no incident type in the list and none of the playbooks match the tenants propagation label.

This seems like a bug at the very least, I would recommend you keep the case you have open and work with our team that way.
