    • Splunk Payload Template. The data to send to Splunk, in Jinga format. The field includes a default Jinja template that you can edit. The default template creates a JSON dictionary that include the key:value pair “event:Lucidum Vulnerability” and then additional key value pairs for each field included in the Output Fields field. For details on Jinja, see https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/3.1.x/templates/.

      • If you specify “0” (zero), Lucidum includes all the records from the query in each delivery to Splunk.

      • If you specify “1” (one), Lucidum examines the previous webhook payload and excludes records for asset IDs or user IDs that were sent in the delivery to Splunk.

      • If you specify “2” (two), Lucidum examines the last two webhook payloads and excludes records for asset IDs or user IDs that were sent in the previous two deliveries to Splunk.
