Content type identifiers for exporting custom content

When you export a specific type of custom content from IBM QRadar, you must specify the content type. You must use either the text identifier or the numeric identifier for the content type.

When you export content from a QRadar appliance, the content management script checks content dependencies, and then includes associated content in the export.

For example, when the content management script detects that a saved search is associated with a report that you want to export, the saved search is also exported. You can't export offense, asset, or vulnerability saved searches.

You use the content type identifier when you want to export all custom content of a specific type. If you want to export a specific content item from your QRadar deployment, you must know the unique identifier for that specific content item.

The following table describes the content type identifiers that are passed into the contentManagement.pl script for the -c parameter.
