Create Cases from Advisories

Use cases to track the work of fixing advisories in your existing workflow. When a Mondoo space has the cases feature configured, any team member can create a case from an advisory. Creating a case can:

  • Directly create a new a Jira issue, GitHub issue, GitLab issue, or Zendesk ticket

  • Send an email message to the recipient of your choice, such as a listener for your ticket, issue tracking, or project management software

For an overview of cases, read Track and Fix Findings with Cases and Your Ticket System.

note

Only team members with Editor or Owner access can perform this task.

  1. In the Mondoo Console, navigate to a space that is set up to use cases.

  2. In the side navigation bar, under Vulnerabilities, select Advisories.

  3. Select the advisory you want to track using a case and a corresponding issue in your ticket system.

    Add a case in Mondoo

  4. To the right of the advisory name, select the CREATE CASE button and select Selected Assets to jump to the bottom of the page and see all assets affected by the advisory. (You can also select All Assets to create a case for all assets affected by the advisory.)

    Create a new Jira issue in Mondoo

  5. Check the boxes beside all the assets for which you want to track this advisory. Note that this creates a single case (and therefore a single ticket in your ticket system) for all the assets you choose. (If you want to track assets separately, create a new case for each asset.)

    Select the CREATE CASE button.

  6. Define the case:

    • In the Integration box, specify where you want Mondoo to add or send the case information.

    • Choose the external destination for the case, such as the project, email recipient, or organization and repository.

    • If you want, change the Summary (title) and add your own notes in the Additional comments box.

  7. Select the CREATE CASE button.

Mondoo creates a new case in the space and then creates a corresponding issue or ticket in your ticket system, or sends email to the selected recipient.
