MISP creates then an event for each file ingested, using the [stix import](https://github.com/MISP/MISP/blob/2.4/app/files/scripts/stix2misp.py) or [stix2 import](https://github.com/MISP/MISP/blob/2.4/app/files/scripts/stix2/stix2misp.py) scripts.
### Usage
## Usage
Depending of the python environment set in your MISP server, you will have to use the correct python command in order to be sure to reach the correct environment containing all the required libraries and dependencies:
- The recommended environment installed by default in most of our installation scripts, and virtual machine is a virtualenv available using `/var/www/MISP/venv/bin/python`
- If any other python environment is set instead, use the corresponding command. As an example, the built-in python3 provided with most of the linux distribution is available with a simple `python3`
**Please replace the python command in the next examples with your own setting if needed**

In order to connect to MISP, we need an URL and an API key.
You can either pass those parameters when you call the `ingest_python.py` script, or put them within the `setup.json` file that is passed by default to the script, or event use another setup file as long as it contains the same required fields:

## Important information to be aware of
There are a few reasons why the data you want to ingest may be truncated or there may be missing information:
- The most obvious reason is the impossibility to map 100\% of the STIX objects and fields into MISP format.
- The import of STIX data into MISP is made to keep the uuids when possible. If you import an indicator with an uuid already existing in MISP, it will be skipped.
- If one file raises an error and is not imported at all, there might be an issue in the import script.
Once the ingestion is completed, each ingested file is also saved within the corresponding MISP event, so the initial data is available if needed.
