To integrate Microsoft DNS Debug with QRadar, complete the following steps:
  1. If automatic updates are not enabled, download and install the most recent version of the following files from the IBM Support Website in the order that they are listed on your QRadar Console:
    • .sfs file for WinCollect
    • DSMCommon RPM
    • Microsoft DNS Debug RPM
  2. Configure WinCollect to forward Microsoft DNS Debug events to QRadar. For more information, go to Log Sources for WinCollect agents in the IBM QRadar WinCollect User Guide. (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/SS42VS_SHR/com.ibm.wincollect.doc/c_ug_wincollect_log_sources.html).
  3. If QRadar does not automatically detect the log source, add a Microsoft DNS Debug log source on the QRadar Console.
