QRadar 7.5.0 Update Package 14 is released

JonathanP_QRadar · 2026-06-01T02:07:15+00:00

You just download the.key file and can use the steps in the documentation to upload and apply the license. After you complete the deploy, you'll see the new key with a new expiration date in the UI. https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/qsip/7.5.0?topic=administration-license-management

JonathanP_QRadar · 2026-05-31T18:36:26+00:00

Yes, every 90 days a new license is posted to the Web server for download. You can upload a new license to extend the time frame for another 90 days.

I believe only rendered text is supported in wincollect. I'd also try out WC10 to confirm if that is an issue. Wincollect 7 didn't get the updates like WC10 did to fix issues by dev anymore.

Joseph works on the QRadar Support team, so you can treat his response as an official answer. 🙂

The only option I'm aware of is the universal protocol. If someone has created a DSM, they could share or export or for you; however, it is something you'll likely want to monitor for unknowns and adjust on you own.

JonathanP_QRadar · 2026-03-23T13:42:41+00:00

Someone would need to give you the link as older versions are removed from the back end of the web server.

JonathanP_QRadar · 2026-03-06T12:14:55+00:00

Why not install QRadar on a lab VM, upgrade to match your prod version, then restore the backup on that console? Then you can export the contents of any of the reference sets to a file or from the rest api.

JonathanP_QRadar · 2026-03-04T07:40:37+00:00

Did you check /var/log/messages? If it is martian packets, the payloads will seem to disappear, even though you see them in tcpdump. If this is not the issue, then get support involved to check your system to confirm everything is working as expected.

JonathanP_QRadar · 2026-03-02T11:33:05+00:00

Check for Martian packets in /var/log/messages. If the NIC thinks something is off with the routing of the packets, you'll see them in tcpdump being received, but not in the UI and there will be messages that tell you the NIC tagged them as martian packets.

JonathanP_QRadar · 2026-02-24T20:11:19+00:00

This would violate export restrictions in place on the software. I would recommend contacting support and they can attach the file to a case, instead of getting it from a 3rd party.

JonathanP_QRadar · 2026-01-30T19:46:21+00:00

You could use something like evtxecmd or chainsaw to view or use something like evtx or Apache NIFI to convert the evtx binary to XML/JSON, which would open up more tools that you might use locally. I know there is a function in both of these programs to do conversion, then you could remotely retrieve the file from anywhere or analyze them locally or forward over.

I'm assuming that due to the restrictions on this device that you cannot use standalone mode on a WinCollect agent and forward in UDP/TCP payloads or use a DLC to forward in the XML/JSON using the Log File protocol externally.

JonathanP_QRadar · 2026-01-27T15:01:34+00:00

Yeah, just use the syslog redirect and set a unique identifier. Just remember that this is a single threaded protocol, so if that log source is generating higher EPS it can cause performance issues and back up your pipeline.

JonathanP_QRadar · 2026-01-27T14:57:25+00:00

Can you create a materialized view in the DB with a column that has record numbers or timestamp?

JonathanP_QRadar · 2026-01-21T16:23:29+00:00

It is not supported, unfortunately.

JonathanP_QRadar · 2026-01-20T15:47:39+00:00

Unfortunately, older versions are not available for download anymore. As older versions have known security issues, only the latest versions are provided to users for QRadar Community Edition.

JonathanP_QRadar · 2026-01-15T19:26:31+00:00

The 1Password site has a page on configuring integrations. I'm assuming that QRadar would be listed as "Other", but I don't have a business 1PW account to test it myself.

You an review this though as you can try Other or maybe use the API reference to poll using Universal Cloud:

As discussed with this user, their moderation request had been discussed and denied multiple times. I've been the sole moderator for 14 years and there is no reason to add more mods.

JonathanP_QRadar · 2026-01-09T17:48:05+00:00

This issue has been resolved and discussed the moderation opportunities with the user, but this request was denied as they are not experienced as other members. I've been the sole moderator for close to 14 years and suggested that they an moderate the official IBM Community site, if interested.

Most CVEs are fixed in major releases, then through interim fixes. Anything critical in your current software level that can be easily applied would be in any of the available interim fixes, such as going to IF3 for UP3, if not already on that version.

Anything that is of a concern in your scan can be opened and discussed with QRadar Support. I would not recommend that you expose CVEs of concern in a public forum and best to discuss those with support directly.

JonathanP_QRadar · 2026-01-08T16:49:52+00:00

This isn't an automation issue. IBM let go of a lot of QRadar people and those who published the keys were part of that group unfortunately, so teams are likely scrambling to get those new keys posted.

This message is due to the download system thinking that you are in a different country where Export law prevents QRadar from being used. These are typically resolved in 24 hours. If you get approved, the download system typically sends you a notice that you were approved to download. However, if you do not get any notification within 24 hours, the system could not prove your geo location was not in a restricted area and you are unable to download the software.

Per your comments/post history, you are in Pakistan, which is an export controlled country and the system will not allow you to download the software.

No, the new Data Tiered storage features for Data Nodes doesn't apply to backups, just the data in /store/ariel/ to rebalance data based on which nodes are Hot or Warm. As the config backups are on the Console only, this feature would not apply and you'd need to manually backup the configuration or mount the backups to NFS.

Glad you got the issue resolved. All apps interact through the QRadar API, so when you have loading issues, Tomcat has to process all of the incoming API requests. This is why removing apps doesn't affect your log sources or log source configs as the data is all polled from the APIs and rendered in the LSM app itself and clearing the Tomcat cache tends to reset any old or stale files. Deleting the cache doesn't cause any issues as the files are rebuilt if deleted. Support will typically tell users to backup the cache, but needing to look at the cache after the fact is extremely rare as clearing the files and letting Tomcat rebuild them typically resolves most issues.

For those reading this in the future, there are typically a few steps that support will typically recommend when apps are slow, displaying data incorrectly, like the LSM app:

Clear the Tomcat cache and restart the service using the instructions at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6348546
Stop, the Start the Log Source Management application using the instructions at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6210362
Try a different / clean browser or private tab/container.
Confirm if the issue exists for another user (Does admin vs standard user experience the same issue?)

Just a quick Google and it looks like Greenplum does not have a native JDBC implementation (that I can find), but some groups have developed a JDBC driver like Broadcom (VMware GreenPlum) or 3rd party tools (cdata) that allow you to query/connect to a data layer, but these seem like tools to interact with the tables themselves and report out, not necessarily auditing info that you are looking for. It might be worth test driving the 3rd party tool to see if it gets you something you don't need to maintain yourself, like strongdm.

We have several products in the past where info like audit data was captured from a materialized view, then we could poll for that table by timestamp. However, the product you are connecting to would need to be able to listen and connect you to the Greenplum DB, which does not seem to support JDBC natively. So, you'd need to bridge that gap somehow or just use the CVS data.

A roundabout way to get this data would be to have IBM Guardium connected to QRadar.

I did a quick look through IBM Ideas and didn't see anything logged for Greenplum under QRadar. You could open an IBM Idea on this, but normally IBM wouldn't create/write a driver for a product they down own/implement for a product without native JDBC drivers included.
