Managing custom entities

This article explains how to manage custom entities. For information on managing custom entity types, refer to the documentation.

Adding custom entities to catalogs

When you import or create an entity, Cortex automatically assigns it to a catalog based on that catalog's entity type criteria. When you create a custom catalog, you define this criteria.

By default, any custom entity types you create belong to the Infrastructure catalog. To assign a custom entity type to a different catalog, add it to that catalog's definition.

Editing a custom entity

Users or API keys with the Edit Entities permission can edit a custom entity.

Follow the steps below to edit a custom entity.

1. Navigate to the entity's details page.

2. In the upper-right corner, click Configure entity.

3. Make any necessary changes. Note that the Type and Cortex tag fields are uneditable.
