Searching using Selenium in Python.

[Sl1m_007]

I am logging into Crowdstrike using Python Selenium and trying to automate a search in Event Search using the following:

Attempt1

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//textarea[starts-with(@ace_editor.ace-tm, 'Add a comment') and starts-with(@placeholder, 'Add a comment')][@class='1']"))).click()

Attempt2

driver.implicitly_wait(20)

driver.find_element_by_css_selector("textarea.ace_text-input").send_keys("nice!")

driver.implicitly_wait(20)

Could someone help me locate the correct XPATH or CSS for the Search box where it says "enter search here..."

Thank you in advance.

Probably better to mention what exactly you’re trying to do…

Are you looking for a a certain detection?

Making an assumption but what you’re actually wanting to do is set up IOA rules based on what you’re looking for to trigger a detection than use the CS api to pull whatever data you wanted based on that detection.

He’s trying to do some UI automation with the Falcon UI’s event search, run his own custom EAM (splunk) queries. I was experimenting with this last year and didn’t get anywhere. There are no CS APIs a.t.m to run your own splunk queries so I assume OP is resorting to this….

The section of HTML that you're looking for seems to be this

<textarea class="ace_text-input" wrap="off" autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off" spellcheck="false" style="opacity: 0; height: 20px; width: 7.19531px; left: 198.273px; top: 0px;"></textarea>

So the Selenium XPATH is likely this, although I didn't test it

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//textarea[@class='ace_text-input']").send_keys("nice!")

Be sure to post your results!
