On August 11, 2023, Cisco announced that Cisco SecureX will go end-of-life on July 31, 2024. The content in this Github repository will not be actively maintained following this announcement.

Importing Git Content

Using the Git repositories configured in SecureX orchestration, you can import a wide variety of content published by Cisco.

Import and Export


Note on the “Import as a New Workflow (Clone)” Checkbox

When importing workflows and atomic actions, you’ll see a checkbox labeled: Import as a New Workflow (Clone). If you’re trying to import an object that already exists, you need to be careful whether or not you check this box.

If you’re importing something that already exists and:

  • The box is checked: A copy of the object will be made.
  • The box is NOT checked: You will be asked if you want to overwrite the existing object. This cannot be undone and any changes made to a workflow will be lost if you overwrite it.

Importing from GitHub

The process for importing workflows and atomic actions is exactly the same. The only different is which Git repository you select since we keep workflows in one folder and atomic actions in another.

  1. On your Workflows page, click the Import Workflow button (next to the New Workflow button).
  2. Select the Git Repository you want to import content from. If you followed our configuration instructions, you should select:
    • CiscoSecurity_Workflows for workflows.
    • CiscoSecurity_Atomics for atomic actions.
    • Note: You can have other GitHub repositories, so feel free to select whichever repository you intend to import content from!
  3. Once the Filename list loads, look for the item you want to import and select it.
  4. Next, the Git Version list will populate. Select the version of the item you want to import (you’ll usually want the latest version).
  5. If applicable, check the Import as a New Workflow (Clone) box (see note above).
  6. Click the Import button.

Importing from Text or a File

If you want to import a workflow that’s not committed to GitHub, you can simply copy/paste its definition JSON into SecureX orchestration or import it from a file (containing the workflow definition JSON).

  1. On your Workflows page, click the Import Workflow button (next to the New Workflow button).
  2. Under the Import From heading, select the Browse tab.
  3. If you have a workflow’s JSON to import, you can paste it into the box. If the workflow JSON is in a file, click Browse and select the file.
  4. If applicable, check the Import as a New Workflow (Clone) box (see note above).
  5. Click the Import button.
