# Security Operations Integration - Sightings Search Flow

**Security Operations Integration - Sightings Search** flow is a high-level flow independent of integrations. It uses the configured queries to search for a set of observables based on the configured integrations which support the capability. Use it to fulfill an integration such as Splunk or Elasticsearch.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_si.analyst

## About this task

If a security incident has an observable attached to it, this flow is triggered when you click on **Run Sighting Search** in the **Actions on selected rows...** drop-down menu in the **Security Incident Observables** tab.
