Configuring the vCloud REST API public address

IBM QRadar collects security data from the vCloud API by polling the REST API of the vCloud appliance for events. Before QRadar can collect any data, you must configure the public REST API base URL.

Procedure

  1. Log in to your vCloud appliance as an administrator.
  2. Click the Administration tab.
  3. From the Administration menu, select System Settings > Public Addresses.
  4. In the VCD public REST API base URL field, type an IP address or host name.

    The address that you specify becomes a publicly available address outside of the firewall or NAT on your vCloud appliance.

  5. Click Apply.

    The public API URL is created on the vCloud appliance.

What to do next

You can now configure a log source in QRadar.
