QRadar: Setting up a Windows Multi-line log source to receive Splunk-forwarded Windows events

How To


Summary

Customers who use Splunk can use the option to forward events from that system to QRadar. One of the most popular options is to forward Windows Security Events. Windows security Events are sent from Splunk Universal and Heavy Forwarders to a QRadar Event Collector (EC) and Event Processor (EP) in mutli-line format, to a port listening that is designated for those events.

The QRadar TCP Multi-line Protocol receives those events, and based on the formatting, sections them off into individual payloads. Then, reformat the payloads into a format QRadar can parse.
