QRadar: Upgrading QRadar or installing an Interim fix can remove the HOSTNAME property from /etc/sysconfig/network

How To


Summary

During a software update, the SFS installer can incorrectly remove or comment out the hostname property in /etc/sysconfig/network file. When the hostname value is missing, it can cause application issues. A quick test to confirm this issue is to run the recon tool to determine whether the error message 'endpoint not specified' is displayed. Administrators on QRadar 7.4.x or 7.5.x can experience this issue on either the Console or an App Host appliance. This technical note includes a procedure for administrators to temporarily resolve this issue.
