QRadar: Modify Event or Flow Collector Connection

Troubleshooting


Problem

Your deployment may require that the Collector connection point to a processor different from the default. In other instances, when re-adding an Event or Flow Collector back into a deployment, it might need to be modified so that the collector points to the correct Processor.

  1. Log in to the QRadar UI.

    1. In IBM Security QRadar V7.3.1, click the navigation menu , and then click Admin to open the Admin tab.
