Set Up Incident Classifier

Navigate to Settings -> Objects Setup -> Classification & Mapping -> New Incident Classifier. At the top, select the JSONSampleIncidentGenerator_url_events instance we created in the previous post. This allows us to work with sample events.

Go to Settings -> Objects Setup -> Incidents -> Types and select PAN-OS URL Log Incident. Use the Detach button to modify the object and explore its structure. After making your changes, click Reattach to restore the original state.
