Collecting user information

Use the GetUserInfo utility to collect user information from the user information sources and store the data in a reference data collection.

About this task

Use this task to collect user information on demand. If you want to create automatic user information collection on a schedule, create a cron job entry. For more information about cron jobs, see your Linux® documentation.

Procedure

  1. Using SSH, log in to your IBM QRadar Console as the root user.
    1. User name: root
    2. <password>
  2. Type the following command to collect user information on demand:

    GetUserInfo.sh <UISName>

    Where <UISName> is the name of the user information source you want to collect information from.

What to do next

The collected user information is stored in a reference data collection on the database. If no reference date collection exists, a new reference data collection is created. If a reference data collection was previously created for this user information source, the reference map is purged of previous data and the new user information is stored. For more information about reference data collections, see Reference data collections for user information.
