Installing an App Host
You can run apps on an App Host instead of your Console to lessen the processing load on the Console. Install an App Host the same way you would any other managed host for QRadar. You can install an App Host on hardware or in a VM, and as either an appliance install or a software install.
Before you begin
If you have an App Node and you are upgrading to V7.3.2, see Migrating from an App Node to an App Host.
This procedure assumes that you are doing an appliance install. For more information about appliance and software installations, see QRadar installations.
For more information about supported VM environments, see Virtual appliance installations.
Ensure that all apps on your system are updated.
Resolve any issues with applications in an error state or not displaying properly.
Schedule a maintenance window for this task and ensure that users do not do any of the following during the migration.
- Do not install or uninstall apps.
- Do not do a full deploy.
- Do not do a restore.
- Do not delete the App Host.
- Do not re-IP the Console.
