You may choose from TLS, TCP or UDP.

We recommend TLS for security or TCP if TLS is not available for your SIEM instance.


If TLS is selected you will have the option to utilize a signed certificate. 

Alternatively, if you are using a self-signed certificate you should toggle this off.

*You should verify that the message was received by your QRadar instance. *

However, if the connection is not successful you will receive a message regarding the failure. 

Upon successfully completing the test you may toggle the "Enable" switch on and then click "Save".

This will finalize the SIEM integration set up.image-20240715-203324
