Disable Auto Detection for Specific Log Source Types in QRadar Using autodetection_config.py (V7.3.1+)

Troubleshooting


Problem

Administrators can experience issues where a log source type has events that are so similar that Traffic Analysis (TA), which is QRadar’s Log Source Auto Detection engine, incorrectly creates the log source. This is especially true when there are not enough events coming from the log source for Traffic Analysis to correctly identify the log source type. When this occurs, administrators might need to disable the offending log source type.
