QRadar: Rules with email responses that leverage custom properties can cause search and ariel writer exceptions (APAR IJ21718)

Troubleshooting


Problem

This support technical article provides further guidance to administrators on the issue reported in APAR IJ21718: Ariel searches fail and events are not processes/written to disk when a concurrent modification exception occurs.

Symptom


UPDATE: For the latest information, see the Flash Notice for APAR IJ21718. Administrators must complete a Deploy Full Configuration, then install the available interim fixes. Interim fixes are available on IBM Fix Central to mitigate this issue.
Administrators or users might experience search errors in QRadar when the Event Processor or Console attempts to access an unreadable record of data for the timeframe defined in the query. As an Event Processor responds to the search request, a red alert bar is displayed with the search results to indicate one of the Event Processor appliances encountered a 'The server encountered an error reading one or more files' message. The error reading one or more files message is an indicator of APAR IJ21718.
