Create the log source

Learn how to set up a Nozomi Networks universal log source in QRadar. This covers navigation, selection, and configuration of log source parameters, including type, name, and unique identifiers, sourced from the IBM QRadar GitHub repository.

  1. Open QRadar.
  2. Select Admin > Apps.
  3. In the Apps section, select QRadar Log Source Management.

  4. In the pane on the left, select Select Log Source Type.
  5. In the search field, search for and then select: Nozomi Networks Universal.

  6. In the bottom right corner, select Step 2: Select Protocol Type.
    The Select a protocol type page opens.
  7. In the search field, search for and then select: Universal Cloud REST API.

  8. In the bottom right corner, select Step 3: Configure Log Source Parameters.
    The Configure the Log Source parameters page opens.
  9. In the Name field, enter the name of the log source.

  10. In the Extension field, enter: NozomiNetworksUniversalCustom_ext
    Note: If you do not add the extension, the QRadar system will automatically assign it.
  11. In the bottom right corner, select Step 4: Configure Protocol Parameters.

    The Configure the protocol parameters page opens.
  12. In the Log Source Identifier field, enter an identifier. Concatenate the Nozomi Networks endpoint with the key_name, followed by either Alert or Asset string: nozominetworkscom.customers.eu1.io_AKdf6123_Alert
    The Log Source Identifier should be unique and should be similar to:
    ${/host}_${/key_name}_Alert ${/host}_${/key_name}_Asset
    host is the Vantage endpoint like: nozominetworkscom.customers.eu1.xxx.nozominetworks.io
    key_name is the key_name generated in Vantage.
    _Asset and _Alert are just strings.
    LogSourceIdentifier examples:
    • nozominetworkscom.customers.eu1.xxx.nozominetworks.io_AK023XXX_Alert
    • nozominetworkscom.customers.eu1.xxx.nozominetworks.io_AK023XXX_Asset
  13. In the Workflow field, enter the value.
    You can get the latest version from the IBM QRadar GitHub repository.
    Note: There are two types of workflow: Alerts and Assets.
  14. In the Workflow Parameter Values field, enter the value.
    You can get the latest version from the IBM QRadar GitHub repository.
    Note: In the Workflow Parameter Values field you must add:
    • host
    • key_name
    • key_token
    The endpoint of your instance, key_name, and key_token of a user having the permission to access the entities wanted. Below is an example:
    
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <WorkflowParameterValues xmlns="http://qradar.ibm.com/UniversalCloudRESTAPI/WorkflowParameterValues/V1">
    <Value name="host" value="nozominetworkscom.customers.vantage.nozominetworks.io" />
    <Value name="key_name" value="AK023xxx" />
    <Value name="key_token" value="fha0ef3b5f1a36Y9c30e352562e429eexxxxx" />
    </WorkflowParameterValues>         
                        
  15. In the bottom right corner, select Step 5: Test Protocol Parameters.
    The Test Protocol Parameters page opens.
  16. To make sure that the parameters of the log source configuration are correct, select Start Test.

  19. If there is an authentication error, the Error 401 page will show.
    This might be because the key_name and/or the key_token are not valid (incorrect or expired).
