QRadar Risk Manager: Adobe Flash end of life and changes to Configuration
Source Management (CSM)
Document Information
More support for: IBM Security QRadar Risk Manager
Component: QRadar Risk and Vulnerability Manager
Software version: 7.3.3, 7.4.1
Operating system(s): Linux
Document number: 6326009
Modified date: 11 September 2020
Administrators with QRadar Risk Manager appliances in their deployment are
being alerted to changes in Configuration Source Manager due to the approaching
end of life of Adobe Flash. Due to removal of Adobe Flash, the Configuration
Source Management (CSM) functionality is integrated in to the Configuration
Monitor. The updated Configuration Monitor interface is available to
administrators who upgrade their QRadar deployment in upcoming fix pack
releases.
QRadar Risk Manager administrators are being alerted to an upcoming user
interface change to the Configuration Source Management (CSM) component. Due to
the End of Life (EOL) announcement for Adobe Flash, QRadar Risk Manager has
deprecated the default Configuration Source Management interface and integrated
device backup and configuration functionality in to the Configuration Monitor.
The Configuration Monitor interface includes the same device backup
functionality, but was developed without Adobe Flash to ensure that
administrators can comply with Adobe's 31 December 2020 end of life
announcement. Administrators who are in corporate environments who are required
to remove Adobe Flash can discuss upgrades to a QRadar version that includes
the updates to the Configuration Monitor. All created schedules (Scheduled
Discovery, jobs) are automatically moved from the legacy Admin tab
Configuration Source Management interface to the Configuration Monitor on the
Risks tab after you upgrade.
Product versions
The following versions integrate scheduling and device configurations on the
Risks tab in to the Configuration Monitor:
o QRadar Risk Manager 7.4.1 fix pack 1 (unreleased) and later
o QRadar Risk Manager 7.3.3 fix pack 5 (unreleased) and later
How to identify the issue
A notice is displayed in the Configuration Source Management component to
advise administrators that the Configuration Source Management is deprecated.
Administrators who see this information message can upgrade to a QRadar version
that includes the Configuration Monitor to avoid interruptions with device
configurations after 31 December 2020 due to Adobe Flash end of life (EOL)
issues.

Flash.

Configuration Source Management user interface.
Locating the Configuration Monitor
QRadar 7.4.1 fix pack 1 and QRadar 7.3.3 fix pack 5 updates move the
functionality of discovery, backups, credentials and scheduled to the Risks
tab. Administrators can use the Configuration Monitor to make changes to their
devices after an upgrade to the QRadar deployment. The functionality between
Configuration Source Manager and the Configuration Monitor is identical and the
Configuration Monitor does not include dependencies on Adobe Flash.
Procedure
1. Log in to QRadar.
2. Click the Risks tab.
3. In the Risk Manager pane, click Configuration Monitor.

4. Use the Configuration Monitor to manage your devices.
Schedules and device backups
Schedules Configuration for QRadar Risk Manager allows administrators to define
backup jobs or device discovery in the Configuration Monitor. Schedules are now
setup using the Configuration Monitor. Devices can be added to the schedule and
a trigger defines the time and recurrence for the backup or device discovery,
which can occur either once, daily, weekly, monthly, or defined as a cron job
expression.
image 5888Figure 4: Schedules are now defined in the Configuration Monitor for
the Risk Manager versions defined in this technical note.
Procedure
1. Click the Risks tab.
2. Expand the Configuration Monitor and select Schedules.
3. On the Scheduled page, click Add to create a new schedule or select and
existing schedule and click Edit.
4. Type a unique Name for the schedule.
5. Select a Group from the drop-down list or type a new Group name.
6. Select a schedule type:
Select a schedule type to either backup or discover new devices
+----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Option | Description |
+----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|Backup |Backup schedules allow users to collect device configuration changes from |
| |discovered network devices. |
+----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|Discovery |Updates the telemetry (neighbor) information for devices and adds newly |
| |discovered network devices. |
+----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Note: If a discovery schedule exists, you must select Backup. You cannot
change the Type of an existing schedule.
7. If you are creating a discovery schedule and want to add newly discovered
devices to a product, select Crawl.
8. If you are creating a backup schedule, click Edit and add or remove devices
to be targeted for backup. Then perform one of the following actions
9. Use the arrows to move devices from the Available Devices list to the
Selected Devices list.
10. Select Search to configure a search to dynamically target devices based on
IP address, operating system, model, or hostname.
Tip: You can search for Admin or Interface IP addresses with a
comma-separated list of IP addresses or CIDR ranges.
11. Select a Trigger to specify the frequency you want the schedule to run.
o Once
o Daily
o Weekly
o Monthly
o Cron

Note: Cron expressions that repeat more than once per hour are not
accepted.
12. Click Save.
Device discovery
Device Discovery is now located in the Configuration Monitor on the Risks tab
for the QRadar Risk Manager versions discussed in this technical note. Device
Discovery streamlines adding network devices through network management
appliances, such as Check Point Management Servers, Palo Alto Panorama, Juniper
NSM, or by crawling the network with SNMP for discoverable IP addresses. The
Device Discovery functions in QRadar Risk Manager allow users to set up
multiple networks and run discovery to automatically add new firewalls, IPS,
and other network devices so they can be backed up and added to the Topology.
It is important that administrators do not add overlapping address ranges or
CIDR addresses when discovering devices to prevent duplicates.

status or logs for added devices.
Credentials
Device credentials can be added to access and download the configuration of
devices such as firewalls, routers, switches, or IPSs in the Configuration
Monitor on the Risks tab. Administrators can add credentials for individual
devices or for multiple network devices that use the same credentials and
prioritize the credential order QRadar Risk Manager uses to back up network
device configurations.

Figure 6: Device credentials can be added in the Configuration Monitor.
Configuring protocols
QRadar Risk Manager users can define the protocol, port, and other details
required to communicate to a set of network devices. You can assign devices to
network groups, which allows you to group together protocol sets and address
sets for your devices.
Procedure
1. On the Risk tab, click Configuration Monitor.
2. In the navigation menu, click Protocols.
3. Select Add from the toolbar.
4. Type a Name for the protocol set.
5. In the Address Sets section, click Add.
6. In the Add Address field, type the IP address or CIDR range that you want
to apply to the network group, then click OK.
Tip: You can use IP4 or IP6 address or CIDR ranges.
7. Select the check box for each protocol you want to enable.
Tip: Select a protocol and click Increase Priority or Decrease Priority to
adjust the order you want the protocols to be used.
8. Select a protocol to configure its relevant properties. You can configure
the following values for the protocol parameters:
