Modify an event map to manually categorize events to a QRadar
Identifier (QID) map.
About this task
Any event that is categorized to a log source can be remapped to a new QRadar
Identifier (QID).
Note: Events that do not have a defined log source cannot be mapped to an event. Events without a
log source display SIM Generic Log in the Log
Source column.
Procedure
-
On the Event Name column, double-click an unknown event for McAfee Web
Gateway.
The detailed event information is displayed.
-
Click Map Event.
-
From the Browse for QRadar
Identifier pane, select any of the
following search options to narrow the event categories for a QRadar
Identifier (QID):
-
From the High-Level Category list, select a high-level event
categorization.
-
From the Low-Level Category list, select a low-level event
categorization.
-
From the Log Source Type list, select a log source type.
The Log Source Type list gives the option to search for QIDs from other
log sources. Searching for QIDs by log source is useful when events are similar to another existing
network device. For example, McAfee Web Gateway provides policy events, you might select another
product that likely captures similar events.
To search for a QID by name, type a name in the QID/Name field.
The QID/Name field gives the option to filter the full list of QIDs for a
specific word, for example, policy.
-
Click Search.
A list of QIDs are displayed.
-
Select the QID that you want to associate to your unknown event.
-
Click OK.
QRadar maps any additional
events that are forwarded from your device with the same QID that matches the event payload. The
event count increases each time that the event is identified by QRadar.
If you update an event with a new QRadar
Identifier (QID) map, past events
that are stored in QRadar are
not updated. Only new events are categorized with the new QID.
