# Indicator management
Create, edit, search, export, and delete indicators in Cortex AgentiX.
Indicators are artifacts associated with security issues and are an essential part of the case management and remediation process. They help correlate issues, create hunting operations, and enable you to easily analyze cases and reduce Mean Time to Response (MTTR).
#### Indicators
Displays a list of indicators added to Cortex AgentiX, where you can perform several indicator actions.
You can perform the following actions on the **AGENTIX Indicators** page.
| Action | Description |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Investigate an indicator | Click on an indicator to view and take action on the indicator. |
| Create an indicator | Indicators are added to the indicators table from feed integration or you can manually create a new indicator in the system.
When creating an indicator, in the Verdict field, you can either select a verdict or leave it blank to calculate it later by clicking Save & Enrich, which updates the indicator from enrichment sources. After you select an indicator type, you can add any custom field data.
|
| Edit | Edit a single indicator or select multiple indicators to perform a bulk edit. |
| Delete and Exclude | Delete and exclude one or more indicators from all indicator types or a subset of indicator types.
If you select the Do not add to exclusion list checkbox, the selected indicators are only deleted.
|
| Export CSV | Export the selected indicators to a CSV file. |
| Export STIX | Export the selected indicators to a STIX file. |
| Upload a STIX file | To upload a STIX file, click the upload button (top right of the page) and add the indicators from the file to the system. |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-agentix/detect-investigate-and-respond-to-threats/threat-intel-management/indicator-management.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
