Configure general settings#

Set system-wide defaults for hostname, timezone, locale, and session timeouts for your Intelligence Center.

For your Intelligence Center to be fully functional, you must set:

  • A hostname to identify the instance on your network.

  • A timezone default that new users inherit and existing users can override.

  • A locale default that determines date and time formatting across the platform.

  • Session token expiration and user inactivity timeout values for security.

System-wide timezone and locale defaults apply to new users automatically. Existing users retain their current settings and can override defaults in their user profile preferences.

Note

Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).

Set the organization name#

Specify your organization name to identify your Intelligence Center instance.

  1. From the left sidebar, select Settings Platform settings > General.

  2. Click Edit settings.

  3. In the Organization Name field, enter your organization’s name.

  4. To store your changes, click Submit; to discard them, click Cancel.

Set the hostname#

Specify a working and valid hostname for EclecticIQ Intelligence Center.

EclecticIQ Intelligence Center validates the specified hostname to verify that the configured hostname points to the actual server hosting EclecticIQ Intelligence Center instance.

Caution

If you enter an incorrect Intelligence Center hostname or no hostname at all, the following functionality is either not available, or it may not work as expected:

  • Outgoing feeds

  • TAXII links to TAXII services

  • User password reset and password reset email notification

  1. From the left sidebar, select Settings Platform settings > General.

  2. Click Edit settings.

  3. In the Hostname field, enter the hostname of the machine hosting EclecticIQ Intelligence Center instance to identify it on the network.

    EclecticIQ Intelligence Center hostname you specify here must match exactly an existing server_name literal value or data pattern defined in the Nginx configuration file.

    If Hostname and server_name do not match, the Intelligence Center may return configuration errors, and it may not work correctly.

    For more information, see the official Nginx documentation and the Nginx wiki.

    Example: prod.platform.host.com, or 10.0.84.96

  4. To store your changes, click Submit; to discard them, click Cancel.

Set the timezone default#

The timezone default determines which timezone is used to display dates and times across the Intelligence Center for all new users.

While you can set a local or custom timezone default, the host system timezone must remain on UTC time. This includes the OS, databases, and any other products or components that interact with EclecticIQ Intelligence Center.

Users can override the timezone default in their user profile by selecting a custom timezone instead of “Use default setting”.

To set the timezone default:

  1. From the left sidebar, select Settings Platform settings > General.

  2. Click Edit settings.

  3. From the Timezone default drop-down menu, select the timezone you want as the system-wide default.

    The dropdown displays “Default” next to the currently selected value.

  4. To store your changes, click Submit; to discard them, click Cancel.

Note

  • New users automatically inherit the timezone default.

  • Existing users keep their current timezone settings when you change the timezone default.

  • Users can select a custom timezone in their user profile preferences. See Manage users.

Set the locale default#

Set a system-wide locale default that determines how dates, times, and regional formats display across the platform for all new users.

The locale default controls date and time formatting conventions, including:

  • Date format (day/month/year order, separators)

  • Time format (12-hour vs 24-hour, separators)

  • Default week start day (Monday or Sunday)

Users can override the locale default in their user profile by selecting a custom locale, date format, or week start day instead of “Use default setting” or “Based on locale”.

To set the locale default:

  1. From the left sidebar, select Settings Platform settings > General.

  2. Click Edit settings.

  3. From the Locale default drop-down menu, select the locale you want as the system-wide default.

    The dropdown displays “Default” next to the currently selected value.

  4. To store your changes, click Submit; to discard them, click Cancel.

Note

  • New users automatically inherit the locale default.

  • Existing users keep their current locale settings when you change the locale default.

  • Users can customize locale, date format, and week start preferences in their user profile. See Manage users.

Set the session token expiration#

Define how long a user session token remains valid before it expires.

Session tokens authenticate user requests to the Intelligence Center. When a session token expires, users must sign in again.

  1. From the left sidebar, select Settings Platform settings > General.

  2. Click Edit settings.

  3. In the Session token expiration (in minutes) field, enter the number of minutes before session tokens expire.

  4. To store your changes, click Submit; to discard them, click Cancel.

Set the user inactivity timeout#

Define how long an active user session can remain idle before EclecticIQ Intelligence Center automatically signs the user out.

  1. From the left sidebar, select Settings Platform settings > General.

  2. Click Edit settings.

  3. In the User inactivity timeout (in minutes) field, enter the number of minutes of inactivity before automatic sign-out.

  4. To store your changes, click Submit; to discard them, click Cancel.

Set the TAXII server name#

For environments where the platform is accessible via multiple domain names (e.g., internal and external networks), specify a dedicated hostname for TAXII services.

The TAXII server name allows TAXII clients to connect using a different domain than the global hostname, ensuring TAXII services remain functional in multi-domain deployments.

Note

If left blank, the platform uses the global Hostname value for TAXII services.

  1. From the left sidebar, select Settings Platform settings > General.

  2. Click Edit settings.

  3. In the TAXII Server name field, enter the hostname that TAXII clients will use to access TAXII services.

  4. To store your changes, click Submit; to discard them, click Cancel.

Configure TLP settings#

Configure how the platform handles Traffic Light Protocol (TLP) labels when converting the “Amber Strict” label for legacy systems or recipients.

TLP color codes provide handling and sharing guidelines for intelligence data. For detailed information about TLP labels and their usage, see Intelligence metadata | TLP.

The TLP settings determine how to convert TLP:AMBER+STRICT labels when sending or sharing intelligence to legacy systems or recipients that do not support the TLP v2.0 standard.

Options:

  • Red: Convert TLP:AMBER+STRICT to TLP:RED (most restrictive)

  • Amber: Convert TLP:AMBER+STRICT to TLP:AMBER (maintains amber level)

To configure TLP conversion settings:

  1. From the left sidebar, select Settings Platform settings > General.

  2. Click Edit settings.

  3. In the TLP settings section, from the Convert Amber Strict to drop-down menu, select either Red or Amber.

  4. To store your changes, click Submit; to discard them, click Cancel.

Note

This setting only affects how TLP:AMBER+STRICT labels are converted when sending data to legacy systems. Internal Intelligence Center operations continue to use the original TLP values.

Configure theme#

Set the visual theme for the Intelligence Center interface. You can allow users to choose their own theme or set a single theme for all users.

Options:

  • Let users choose color theme for their personal space: Users can select their preferred color theme in their user profile.

  • Set color theme for all users of the platform: Sets a single color theme for all user accounts and disables the user option to select their own theme.

Available themes:

  • Teal (Default)

  • Lavender

  • Dutch Blue

  • Ruby Red

To configure the theme:

  1. From the left sidebar, select Settings Platform settings > General.

  2. Click Edit settings.

  3. In the Theme section, select one of the theme options:

    • Select Let users choose color theme for their personal space to allow individual theme selection.

    • Select Set color theme for all users of the platform and choose a color theme to apply it system-wide.

  4. To store your changes, click Submit; to discard them, click Cancel.

Reset general settings#

Remove current server settings and configuration for EclecticIQ Intelligence Center and reset all options to their default values.
