# Export indicators

In the Indicators table, you can export indicators in a CSV or STIX file. You can also export indicators using an integration or a playbook.

<details>

<summary>Export indicators using the Generic Export Indicators Integration</summary>

You can export indicators in a hosted text file (External Dynamic list) from Cortex XSOAR or an engine using the Generic Export Indicators Service integration. Exported indicators can be used for example in firewall block lists, allow lists, and monitoring and analysis in Splunk. See [Generic Export Indicators Service](https://xsoar.pan.dev/docs/reference/integrations/edl).

The Generic Export Indicators Service integration can be configured to export specific fields in different output formats. Multiple instances of the integration can be configured for different indicator queries, and the output can be customized to work with a variety of third-party services.

You can set up the Generic Export Indicators Service integration by setting up a long-running integration. See [Forward requests to long-running integrations](/cortex-xsoar-8-on-prem/8.5/configure-cortex-xsoar/integrations/forward-requests-to-long-running-integrations.md).

If you configure the Generic Export Indicator to run on-demand, use the `!export-indicators-list-update` command for the first time to initialize the export process.

<summary>Export incidents and indicators to CSV using the UTF8-BOM format</summary>

By default, when exporting an incident or an indicator to CSV format, Cortex XSOAR generates the report in UTF8 format. If you need to export an incident or an indicator that contains Cyrillic characters such as Russian or Greek, you need to change the format to UTF8-BOM.

{% hint style="info" %}

### Note

When changing the format to UFT8-BOM you also change the format for incidents.
{% endhint %}

1. Select **Settings & Info** → **Settings** → **System** → **Server Settings** → **Add Server Configuration**.
2. Add the following key and value.

   Key: `export.utf8bom`

   Value: `true`
3. Save the server configuration.

<summary>Export indicators using playbooks</summary>

Cortex XSOAR provides numerous out-of-the-box playbooks for TIM, including playbooks that enable you to export indicators. All TIM-related playbooks have the 'TIM' prefix. Some are generic (for example, [TIM - Process Indicators - Fully Automated](https://xsoar.pan.dev/docs/reference/playbooks/tim---process-indicators---fully-automated)), and some are dedicated to a specific vendor, like QRadar (for example, [TIM - QRadar Add Domain Indicators](https://xsoar.pan.dev/docs/reference/playbooks/tim---q-radar-add-domain-indicators)) and ArcSight (for example, [TIM- Arcsight Add IP Indicators](https://xsoar.pan.dev/docs/reference/playbooks/tim---arc-sight-add-ip-indicators)).

{% hint style="info" %}

### Note

For TIM-related playbooks, you need a TIM license.
{% endhint %}

If you define a playbook task input that pulls from indicators, the entire playbook runs in Quiet Mode. This means the task or playbook information is not written to the War Room, and inputs and outputs are not displayed in the playbook. However, errors and warnings are still written to the War Room.

{% hint style="warning" %}

### Caution

You should not run a query on a field that you might change in the playbook flow. For example, you shouldn’t have a playbook with a query **`Verdict:Malicious`** and then change the indicator verdict as a part of the playbook.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xsoar-8-on-prem/8.5/investigate-and-respond-to-threats/threat-intel-management/export-indicators.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
