Use of meta:source nodes

Synapse-VXIntel uses a meta:source node and -(seen)> light weight edges to track files observed from the VXIntel API.

> meta:source=115811adce1dedc6306e6f554ac65f43
meta:source=115811adce1dedc6306e6f554ac65f43
        .created = 2024/11/19 21:34:45.130
        :name = vxintel api

Storm can be used to filter nodes to include/exclude nodes which have been observed by Synapse-VXIntel. The following example shows how to filter the results of a query to include only results observed by Synapse-VXIntel:

> file:bytes#mytag +{ <(seen)- meta:source=115811adce1dedc6306e6f554ac65f43 }
