CrowdStrike Trigger

CrowdStrike Trigger

Certified
Enterprise Edition

Trigger a flow on a new CrowdStrike Falcon Spotlight vulnerability

Polls SearchVulnerabilities at the configured interval, filtered server-side to vulnerabilities created after the last delivered one, and fires one execution per newly discovered vulnerability (oldest first, one per poll cycle). The trigger tracks the created_timestamp of the newest delivered vulnerability in namespace KV to avoid re-firing; on the first poll, only the current baseline is recorded — no execution is fired — to avoid flooding on initial activation.

yaml
type: io.kestra.plugin.ee.crowdstrike.spotlight.Trigger

Trigger a flow whenever a new critical vulnerability is detected

yaml
id: crowdstrike_on_new_vulnerability
namespace: company.team

tasks:
  - id: log_vulnerability
    type: io.kestra.plugin.core.log.Log
    message: "New {{ trigger.severity }} vulnerability {{ trigger.cveId }} on {{ trigger.hostname }}"

triggers:
  - id: on_critical_vulnerability
    type: io.kestra.plugin.ee.crowdstrike.spotlight.Trigger
    clientId: "{{ secret('CROWDSTRIKE_CLIENT_ID') }}"
    clientSecret: "{{ secret('CROWDSTRIKE_CLIENT_SECRET') }}"

Properties

API client ID

Client ID of a CrowdStrike API client with the scopes required by the tasks and triggers being used.

API client secret

Client secret of the CrowdStrike API client. Exchanged for a short-lived OAuth2 Bearer token on every task run and trigger poll; never logged.

Defaultfalse

Specifies whether a trigger is allowed to start a new execution even if a previous run is still in progress.

Defaulthttps://api.crowdstrike.com

CrowdStrike API base URL

Base URL of the CrowdStrike Falcon API for your cloud region (for example: https://api.crowdstrike.com for US-1, https://api.us-2.crowdstrike.com for US-2, https://api.eu-1.crowdstrike.com for EU-1, or https://api.laggar.gcw.crowdstrike.com for US-GOV-1). Defaults to the US-1 endpoint. Using the wrong region for your tenant results in 403 Forbidden responses.

FQL filter

CrowdStrike Falcon Query Language expression applied in addition to the trigger's own time cursor (for example: status: 'open'+cve.severity: 'CRITICAL').

DefaultPT1M
Formatduration

Polling interval

How often to poll the CrowdStrike API for new items. Defaults to PT1M (every minute).

SubTypestring
Possible Values
CREATEDSUBMITTEDRUNNINGPAUSEDRESTARTEDKILLINGSUCCESSWARNINGFAILEDKILLEDCANCELLEDQUEUEDRETRYINGRETRIEDSKIPPEDBREAKPOINTRESUBMITTED

List of execution states after which a trigger should be stopped (a.k.a. disabled).

Defaulttrue

A condition that determines whether the trigger should run.

A Pebble expression evaluated at trigger time. The trigger fires only when the expression evaluates to a truthy value (true, a non-empty string, a non-zero number). Use this to gate trigger execution on dynamic runtime values such as execution labels, flow variables, or environment conditions.
