Troubleshooting


Problem

How do I determine the event that is causing the system notification message "Unable to determine associated log source" (QID 38750007)

Symptom

Tip: SIEM administrators can run a search for the system notification QID 38750007 - for example as a weekly audit to determine what new event sources might need manual log sources or a DSM Editor updates. 
 
System notifications are all outlined as part of the QRadar system notifications guide.
  • Procedure
    To complete a search for the event that triggered this warning.
    1. Log in to the QRadar Console.
    2. From the navigation bar, click the bell icon for notifications.
    3. Hover over the Unable to determine associated log source for IP address system notification for the details of the event.

    4. The highlighted IP address is the address for the event source, which an administrator would use in their investigation of why the log source was unable to parse.
