QRadar: How to find non-Linux OS events getting into Linux Log sources

How To


Summary

The Linux® OS DSM for IBM® QRadar® is designed to parse Linux operating system events. Events from other applications installed on top of a Linux system might be incorrectly identified and parsed as Linux OS events. Depending on the average event rate, incorrect payloads can reduce parsing performance, accuracy of log analysis and correlation.

It is more common to see this behavior for log sources or applications for which no available DSM exists. Correctly tuning log sources to handle those events can improve parsing performance.
