Automatic updates

Using IBM® QRadar®, you can either replace your existing configuration files or integrate the updated files with your existing files.

The QRadar console must be connected to the internet to receive updates. If your console is not connected to the internet, you must configure an internal update server. For information about setting up an automatic update server, see the IBM QRadar User Guide.

Download software updates from IBM Fix Central (www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/).

Update files can include the following updates:

• Configuration updates, which include configuration file changes, vulnerability, QID map, and security threat information updates.
• DSM updates, which include corrections to parsing issues, scanner changes, and protocol updates.
• Major updates, which include items such as updated JAR files.
• Minor updates, which include items such as extra online help content or updated scripts.
