When you right-click on an IP address within an event in the QRadar Log Activity tab, you get a context-sensitive menu with these primary options:

Filter on: This is the main way to focus your view. It adds the selected IP address as a filter, showing you only events associated with that IP.

False Positive: Marking an event as a false positive helps QRadar's analytical engine learn and potentially reduce similar alerts in the future.

More Options: This expands the menu to show further actions you might take on the event such as:

Adding the IP to a reference set

Running an AQL query

Executing a custom action

Searching in other areas of QRadar using the IP address.

Quick Filter: Provides a quick, inline way to add additional filtering logic based on other fields of the event.

IBM QRadar Log Activity Tab Overview: This section of the QRadar documentation describes the actions available in the Log Activity tab: https://www.ibm.com/docs/SSKMKU/com.ibm.qradar.doc/c_qradar_log_activ_tab_over

To find information about an IP or URL within QRadar, analysts can use the right-click menu option "X-Force Exchange Lookup." This option is available when right-clicking an IP address or URL from the Offenses tab or event details windows, providing direct access to the X-Force Exchange interface for detailed threat intelligence and contextual information​​.

In QRadar, when you save search criteria, especially on the Offenses tab, the configured search criteria are retained for future use and do not expire. This permanence ensures that users can quickly access and reuse their preferred search configurations, thereby streamlining the process of monitoring and investigating offenses over time​​.

In IBM Security QRadar SIEM V7.5, custom rules play a crucial role in detecting and responding to potential security threats. These rules can be created from various tabs within the QRadar interface, offering flexibility in how and where analysts choose to define their custom detection logic. Specifically, custom rules can be created from the Offenses, Log Activity, or Network Activity tabs. From the Offenses tab, analysts can create rules that are triggered by specific offense characteristics or patterns. The Log Activity and Network Activity tabs allow for the creation of rules based on observed events or network flows, respectively. This multi-faceted approach to rule creation enables analysts to tailor their detection strategies to different aspects of their environment, leveraging the rich data and insights provided by QRadar to identify and mitigate threats effectively.

To perform an IP address X-Force Exchange Lookup in QRadar, you can follow these steps2:

Select the Log Activity or the Network Activity tab.

Right-click the IP address that you want to view in X-Force Exchange.

Select More Options > Plugin Options > X-Force Exchange Lookup to open the X-Force Exchange interface2.

The procedure to perform an IP address X-Force Exchange Lookup in QRadar involves selecting either the Log Activity or the Network Activity tab, right-clicking the IP address of interest, and then navigating through More Options > Plugin Options > X-Force Exchange Lookup to access the X-Force Exchange interface​​.

Context Menu: Right-clicking on an IP address in the Offense Summary window offers quick investigation actions.

IP-Related Tools: WHOIS and DNS Lookups are essential tools for:

WHOIS: Retrieving IP registration information (owner, contact details, etc.). DNS: Resolving domain names associated with the IP.

Events can be exported from the QRadar Log Activity tab in XML (Extensible Markup Language) or CSV (Comma-Separated Values) formats, providing flexibility in how data is extracted and used for further analysis outside of QRadar​​.

When deleting a generated content report in QRadar, all reports that were generated from the report template are deleted, but the report template itself is retained. This ensures that the structure for generating future reports remains intact, while only the instances of reports generated from that template are removed​​.

Event rules in QRadar test against incoming log source data processed in real time by the QRadar Event Processor. This real-time processing enables QRadar to analyze and respond to security events as they occur, enhancing the system's ability to detect and mitigate threats promptly​​.
