Vertex-Triage User Guide
Vertex-Triage adds new Storm commands and Workflows to manage queues and tasks.
Getting Started
Check with your Admin to enable permissions.
Examples
Create a new queue
Queues can also be created via the dedicated workflow.
> vertex.triage.queue.add alerts --desc "A queue for work items relating to alerts"
proj:project=d9c916ac82d26f252c91a8af09935a8d
.created = 2025/10/21 18:23:20.791
:created = 2025/10/21 18:23:20.791
:creator = root
:desc = A queue for work items relating to alerts
:name = alerts
Create a new task within the “alerts” queue that references a risk:alert node
Tasks can also be created from a Node Action in the Research Tool.
> risk:alert#newalerts | vertex.triage.task.add alerts "alert investigation" --assignee visi --yield
proj:ticket=70c1e0ba23bb1cb23a61d20b5e9725f5
.created = 2025/10/21 18:23:20.821
:assignee = visi
:created = 2025/10/21 18:23:20.821
:creator = root
:name = alert investigation
:priority = medium
:project = d9c916ac82d26f252c91a8af09935a8d
:status = new
:type = task
:updated = 2025/10/21 18:23:20.821
Create a trigger to add a task when media:news:title
is set and contains a keyword
This example creates a new task when :title
contains the keyword malware
,
and adds it to the malware
queue. The title is used to populate the task name.
> trigger.add prop:set --prop media:news:title
--query { +:title~=malware | vertex.triage.task.add malware `triage "{:title}"` }
Added trigger: a241a94a4d9a2f3e77c2ea913f3a4693
> [ media:news=* :title="an article about malware" ]
media:news=ecc168d7d3c6e4e532739bc9187154c4
.created = 2025/10/21 18:23:20.856
:title = an article about malware
> proj:project:name=malware -> proj:ticket
proj:ticket=e20368a50c3b4d4fc2b8ecf128ae2d3e
.created = 2025/10/21 18:23:20.869
:created = 2025/10/21 18:23:20.868
:creator = root
:name = triage "an article about malware"
:priority = medium
:project = 17830b4792bfcd29ba7446296e8e4ee0
:status = new
:type = task
:updated = 2025/10/21 18:23:20.868
The task will also have a reference to the inbound node.
> proj:project:name=malware -> proj:ticket -(refs)> *
media:news=ecc168d7d3c6e4e532739bc9187154c4
.created = 2025/10/21 18:23:20.856
:title = an article about malware
Create a cron to check an external system and create a task based on the results
This example calls a placeholder module, and creates tasks in the extsys
queue.
A similar ingest routine could be written for calling an HTTP API.
> cron.add --hour +8 {
$mod = $lib.import(somemodule)
$data = $mod.getData()
for $item in $data {
vertex.triage.task.add extsys $item.name --desc $item.details
}
}
Created cron job: 388dbb07e923b7e3a2ed1d81cb3db165
Use of meta:source
nodes
Vertex-Triage uses a meta:source
node and -(seen)>
light
weight edges to track created nodes.
