QRadar Log Manager FE: Technical Overview
System Requirements
QRadar Log Manager Free Edition (FE) is delivered as a downloadable "virtual" appliance. Technical requirements for installing and using the solution are as follows:
- Installation requires a server with at least a dual 2GHz processor, 4GB memory, and 300GB available disk space *
- An operating system supported by VMWare's VM Player (e.g., Windows and Linux)
- Devices that support syslog log distribution
Downloading the Software
QRadar Log Manager FE is a subset of Q1 Labs' enterprise-class QRadar Log Manager solution. As such, it includes the ability to process events from a wide variety of event sources which results in a large software image (1.8GB). The download should be performed from a network with sufficient bandwidth (estimated download time for a 1Mbs network is three hours).
* Important Note: The QRadar Log Manager FE software is based on an enterprise-class log management solution running within a virtual machine. As such, the system where the software is installed must be enterprise class, with sufficient processing power, memory (at least 3GB), and disk as provided in the minimum specifications. Systems that do not meet the minimum specifications will result in the software failing or having unacceptable performance.
