To increase the memory limit for the Carbon Black Cloud app to a higher value, perform the following procedure.

Prerequisites

See REST API Polling with IBM QRadar.

Procedure

  1. Find the application ID of the Carbon Black Cloud app. To do that, you must login (by using ssh) to the QRadar console and run /opt/qradar/support/recon ps. The output can resemble the following:
    App-ID Name Managed Host ID Workload ID Service Name Container Name Port
    1055 QRadar Assistant 53 apps qapp-1055 - 0
    1051 QRadar Log Source Management 53 apps qapp-1051 - 0
    1056 QRadar Use Case Manager 53 apps qapp-1056 - 0
    1057 VMware Carbon Black Cloud 53 apps qapp-1057 - 0
    

    The first column lists the App IDs. The second column lists the App names.

  2. Find the VMware Carbon Black Cloud row and copy the corresponding App ID.
  3. Open the following URL in your web browser:
    https://QRADAR_CONSOLE_IP/api_doc#version=19.0&api=%2Fgui_app_framework%2Fapplications%2F%7Bapplication_id%7D&method=POST
  4. Replace QRADAR_CONSOLE_IP with the IP address of your QRadar console.
  5. Login with an account that has administrator privileges. The resulting api_doc page should resemble the following:
    Example updated api_doc page
  6. In the application_id input textbox in the Value column, input the Carbon Black Cloud app ID.
  7. In the memory input textbox, enter 500.
  8. Click Try it Out!.
    The Carbon Black Cloud app will stop and then restart. This takes approximately a minute or two.
  9. To confirm that the memory limit has been successfully changed, open the following URL in your browser:
    https://QRADAR_CONSOLE_IP/api_doc#version=19.0&api=%2Fgui_app_framework%2Fapplications%2F%7Bapplication_id%7D&method=GET
  10. In the application_id input textbox in the Value column, input the Carbon Black Cloud app ID.
  11. Click Try it Out!.
    The Response Body section of the api_doc page should contain the following string: "memory": 500,.

Results

After the memory limit is increased and the Carbon Black Cloud app is restarted, it should forward all Carbon Black Cloud alerts and audit logs.
