Linux OS

The Linux® OS DSM for IBM® QRadar® records Linux operating system events and forwards the events using syslog or syslog-ng.

If you are using syslog on a UNIX host, upgrade the standard syslog to a more recent version, such as, syslog-ng.

Note: Do not run both syslog and syslog-ng at the same time.

To integrate Linux OS with QRadar, select one of the following syslog configurations for event collection:

You can also configure your Linux operating system to send audit logs to QRadar. For more information, see Configuring Linux OS to send audit logs.
