About QRadar Community Edition
• Based off of QRadar 7.3.3 general availability (GA) build.
• The OVA download contains the CentOS Operating System
preinstalled and bundled with the 7.3.3 QRadar Community Edition
ISO.
The QRadar Community Edition in 7.3.3 is now being delivered as an OVA file.
• The QRadar Community Edition is based
on a smaller footprint for non-enterprise
use.
• The perpetual license is a low memory
and includes a 50 events per second
(EPS) and 5,000 Flows per minute.
• Apps are supported and can allocate
10% of the Console’s memory.

0: Community Edition Support
• QRadar Community Edition is a forum
support only product.
• An IBM id is required to use the forums.
• If you are an existing Full QRadar SIEM
user, QRadar Support does not take
cases for QRadar Community Edition
installations.
• QRadar Community Edition is an export
restricted product. If you have download
issues or receive error 53e, additional
checks are required before you can
download the OVA file.
• Software updates (fix packs, interim fixes)
are not available for QRadar Community
Edition.
• Where to I find logs to troubleshoot my
QRadar Community Edition instance?
General
/var/log/qradar.log
OR
/var/log/qradar.error
Installation
/var/log/setup-
{version}/qradar_setup.log

• New look for the download page.
• The Documentation and forums available
in the menu at the top of the page.
• Start by reviewing system
requirements and network
requirements is crucial to your success.
• Network configuration is done during the
OVA import or shortly after the import
completes.
NOTE: The previous implementation
required installation of CentOS iso followed
by the QRadar installation. Networking was
part of this process.
1: Read the documentation

• The Open Virtual Appliance (OVA) format is a
tar file containing the CentOS operating
system and the QRadar software ISO.
• Research virtualization products before you
download and install:
– Ease of setting networking configuration
– Direct import for the OVA format
– Cost
• Ensure the OVA file is downloaded in the
correct format.
• Check the SHASUM 256 of your downloaded
OVA file.
• Get more Jose videos:

2: OVA & install video tips

Minimum storage size
requirements are
enforced – minimum
250 GB during import
• 2 CPU Core (minimum)
• 6 CPU cores
(recommended)
• 8 CPU cores
(Ariel / X-Force Rules)
Apps will use additional
RAM. Each app has a
‘Memory required’
specification on the
X-Force App Exchange.
• Minimum RAM: 8 GB
• Better: 10 GB
(Ariel queries and
X-Force tests)
3: System requirement
Ensure to size your CPU, RAM, and disk storage
specifications for future usage and additional applications.

Your network adapter must have Internet access.
1. Bridged Adapter
– Use when you plan to limit usage to a single
network. Can use the Wi-Fi or a wired
connection of the host.
– IP assigned based on the host network,
hence direct access is possible
2. NAT
– Use when multiple networks access is
required
– VM assigned IP is in a separate network
– VM has external access, but direct external
access is not possible
– You must ensure port forwarding
4: Network configuration

1.Ensure Static Private and Public IP
addresses are assigned to the VM
2.The hostname must be the Fully Qualified
Domain Name
3.Network adapter with Internet access can
ping an external IP address
4.Manually edit configuration to assign
• Static IP
• CIDR Netmask
• Gateway
• DNS values
5: Network requirements
1. To check for IP on the network adapter,
type: ip a
2. To confirm the configured hostname, type:
hostname
3. To check for Internet access, type:
ping 9.9.9.9
4. To manually edit network configuration,
type: nmtui
NOTE: Network configuration values
should be the same as the Host
computer’s Networking Details.
& Network confirmation

• Generic message when the setup is aborted
• QRadar Community Edition generates a file that
extracts and saves your configuration file as part
of the installation process.
• If configuration is not set up correctly, the
AUTO_INSTALL_INSTRUCTIONS file is not
generated correctly.
• Fix the network configuration parameters before
you start your QRadar Community Edition setup.
