Blumira Findings

Overview

Findings are Blumira's primary security detection unit — they represent threats, suspicious activity, or policy violations detected across your environment. This skill covers the full finding lifecycle from discovery through resolution.

Key Concepts

Finding Statuses

Finding Severity

Findings have severity levels (e.g., LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, CRITICAL) that indicate the potential impact. Always triage CRITICAL and HIGH findings first.

Resolution Types

When resolving a finding, you must specify a resolution type:

API Patterns

List Findings

blumira_findings_list
  status.eq=10          # Open findings only
  severity.in=HIGH,CRITICAL
  order_by=-created     # Most recent first
  page_size=25

Get Finding Details

blumira_findings_get
  finding_id=<UUID>

blumira_findings_details
  finding_id=<UUID>

The details endpoint returns enriched data including related context, evidence, and recommended actions.

Resolve a Finding

blumira_findings_resolve
  finding_id=<UUID>
  resolution_type=10    # Valid
  notes="Confirmed brute force attempt. Blocked source IP in firewall."

Assign a Finding

blumira_findings_assign
  finding_id=<UUID>
  user_id=<UUID>

List Comments

blumira_findings_comments_list
  finding_id=<UUID>

Add a Comment

blumira_findings_comments_add
  finding_id=<UUID>
  comment="Investigating source IP. Checking firewall logs for correlation."

Common Workflows

Triage Open Findings

1. blumira_findings_list with status.eq=10 and order_by=-severity
2. Review CRITICAL and HIGH findings first
3. For each finding, use blumira_findings_details to get context
4. Assign to an analyst with blumira_findings_assign
5. Add investigation notes with blumira_findings_comments_add

Investigate a Finding

1. blumira_findings_get to retrieve the finding
2. blumira_findings_details for enriched context and evidence
3. blumira_findings_comments_list to review prior investigation notes
4. Add findings with blumira_findings_comments_add
5. Resolve when investigation is complete

Resolve Multiple Findings

1. blumira_findings_list with filters matching the batch (e.g., same detection rule)
2. Review a representative sample to confirm the resolution applies
3. Resolve each with blumira_findings_resolve and appropriate resolution type
4. Document the rationale in the notes field

Filter by Date Range

blumira_findings_list
  created.gt=2025-01-01
  created.lt=2025-02-01
  status.eq=10

Error Handling

Finding Not Found

Cause: Invalid finding ID or finding not accessible in current org scope Solution: Verify the finding ID. If using MSP credentials, use blumira_msp_findings_get instead.

Cannot Resolve — Missing Resolution Type

Cause: Resolution type not provided or invalid Solution: Provide a valid resolution type: 10 (Valid), 20 (Not Applicable), or 30 (False Positive).

Cannot Assign — Invalid User

Cause: User ID doesn't exist or isn't a member of the organization Solution: Use blumira_users_list to get valid user IDs.

Best Practices

• Always triage by severity: CRITICAL → HIGH → MEDIUM → LOW
• Add comments before resolving to document the investigation trail
• Use resolution types accurately — false positive tracking improves detection tuning
• Filter by date range when reviewing historical findings to avoid overwhelming results
• Assign findings to specific analysts for accountability
