    Important: Before entering a custom name, you must create a Custom Log Source and then enter its Log Source Identifier under Settings > Configuration > Log Source Identifier. To create a Syslog Log Source, see Create Syslog Log Source for IBM QRadar.

  10. Click Save.
    The configuration is validated. If the configuration is valid, a green message displays in the right upper corner of the page. If the configuration is invalid, a pop-up window describes the validation error with the option to still save the invalid configuration. If you encounter errors, see Troubleshooting the Carbon Black Cloud App in IBM QRadar.

    Configuration validation occurs every time you open the Carbon Black Cloud > Settings > Configuration page.

    Note: Administrators can reset and test the configuration any time using the Reset Configuration and Test Configuration options.
