Attaching a QRadar Network Insights appliance to QRadar on Cloud

To use an IBM® QRadar® Network Insights appliance with IBM QRadar on Cloud, you must use a token and run a command to attach the appliance to the console by using a virtual private network (VPN).

Before you begin

The appliance must be at the same version as the QRadar on Cloud console. If they are not the same version, the appliance cannot be attached to the console.

You must install a data gateway so that the flows collected by QRadar Network Insights can be sent to QRadar on Cloud.

Procedure

  1. Use the Self Serve app to generate a new token for your new host.
  2. After you receive your token, from the appliance, type the following command to attach the appliance to QRadar on Cloud: 
    /opt/qradar/bin/setup_qradar_host.py mh_setup interactive -p
  3. Open another ticket with IBM Support to connect the appliance to a data gateway.

    You must specify which data gateway that you want the QRadar Network Insights appliance to be connected to.
