Which TWO considerations are critical when planning custom indicator mapping for a non-standard JSON threat feed? Choose 2 answers.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Identifying correct JSONPath expressions for indicator fields
Mapping custom feeds requires identifying key JSON paths for indicator values and determining the correct mapping to standard XSOAR indicator schema fields.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Writing custom C++ kernel modules for memory parsing
Why it's wrong here
C++ kernel modules are neither supported nor required for feed mapping.
- ✗
Modifying the XSOAR source code repository
Why it's wrong here
Feed mapping is done via configuration parameters, not core source code modification.
- ✗
Configuring hardware load balancers for the feed server
Why it's wrong here
Load balancing is external to XSOAR indicator mapping.
- ✓
Identifying correct JSONPath expressions for indicator fields
Why this is correct
JSONPath expressions are required to extract specific fields from the payload.
- ✓
Mapping extracted values to standard XSOAR indicator schema attributes
Why this is correct
Mapping ensures extracted fields correspond to proper indicator properties like type, value, and score.
