What is the function of the QRadar QFlow collector?
QRadar QFlow Collector collects network flows from devices on your network. Live and recorded feeds are included, such as network taps, span ports, NetFlow, and QRadar flow logs.
What is QFlow collector?
IBM® QRadar® captures traffic from mirror ports or taps within your network by using an IBM QRadar QFlow Collector. The QRadar QFlow Collector is enabled by default, while the mirror port or tap is connected to a monitoring interface on your QRadar appliance.
What technologies does the QFlow collector use?
The QRadar QFlow Collector uses a dedicated Napatech monitoring card to copy incoming packets from one port on the card to a second port that connects to a IBM QRadar Packet Capture appliance.
Is QRadar owned by IBM?
QRadar on Cloud is a component of the IBM QRadar Security Intelligence Platform, which offers integrated capabilities for log management, SIEM, risk and vulnerability management, user behavior analytics and network packet inspection.
What is QRadar event collector?
QRadar Event Collector. The Event Collector collects events from local and remote log sources, and normalizes raw log source events to format them for use by QRadar. The Event Collector bundles or coalesces identical events to conserve system usage and sends the data to the Event Processor.
What types of events can QRadar collect?
QRadar accepts events from log sources by using protocols such as syslog, syslog-tcp, and SNMP. QRadar can also set up outbound connections to retrieve events by using protocols such as SCP, SFTP, FTP, JDBC, Check Point OPSEC, and SMB/CIFS.
What is DSM in IBM QRadar?
IBM® QRadar® uses Device Support Modules (DSMs) to log and correlate the data that is collected from external log sources, such as firewalls, switches, or routers. DSMs are regularly updated to ensure that QRadar can correctly interpret and parse security event information that is provided by external devices.
What does QRadar stand for?
QRadar translates or normalizes raw data in to IP addresses, ports, byte and packet counts, and other information into flow records, which effectively represents a session between two hosts.
Is IBM QRadar free?
IBM QRadar Community Edition is a free version of IBM QRadar intended for individual use, and is released without a warranty. IBM QRadar Community Edition provides many of the same capabilities as QRadar with a license for 50 events per second and 5,000 flows per minute.
What is Event Collector?
Event collection allows administrators to get events from remote computers and store them in a local event log on the collector computer. The destination log path for the events is a property of the subscription.
What are the different flow types in QRadar?
QRadar supports the following external flow sources:
- NetFlow.
- IPFIX.
- sFlow.
- J-Flow.
- Packeteer.
- Napatech interface.
- Network interface.
What are the core components of IBM QRadar?
QRadar includes the following components: event collectors, event processors, flow collectors, flow processors, data nodes and a central console. All components are available as hardware, software or virtual appliances.
