QRadar: Identifying Possible Contributors to Event Drops

How To


Summary

When a QRadar Managed Host enabled for Event Collection has an Incoming Event Rate that exceeds the License Threshold, events may be dropped at the Ingestion (ecs-ec-ingress) stage of the Event Pipeline. Events are associated with a specific Log Source at the Parsing (ecs-ec) stage, so it is not possible to directly determine the Log Source associated with dropped events. This technote contains some tips to help narrow down possible candidates for Log Sources that are sending the most events, and as a result are causing the License Threshold to be breached.
