Mapping SiteProtector IBM QRadar Network Security IQNS (XGS) policy names to local appliance XML files

Question & Answer


Question

If you are reviewing an appliance support file or appliance system log, how can you tell which policy is relevant to the error based on the xml file that is referenced in the error message?

Answer

In many cases, this information is not commonly important. However, you might want to export specific policy files from your IQNS Series appliance for import into SiteProtector. You can export the current policy files, or create a support file and open it in many common archiver applications (WinRAR, 7zip, etc).


Note: The currently active policy or schema version of each policy (ex: ∗_∗ ) may change depending on installed firmware version. A useful way to find the active policy is to examine the latest modified date for the files in the directory specified. In most situations, the highest version will be the currently active policy file.
