  • 1.  Identify QRadar version/ Fix pack from configuration backup file

    Posted 05/05/24 03:41 AM
    Edited by benlinux 05/05/24 03:42 AM

    Dear QRadar experts,

    I have a QRadar configuration backup file ( tgz), is there a way to identify the QRadar version and fix pack level from this file?
    I was expecting to see it in /opt/qradar/conf/patch_list after unpacking the configuration backup file, but this file (patch_list) does not exist.

    Any help will be highly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Hello Benlinux,

    Yes you can identify the correct version from file /storetmp/backup/backup-description.xml.
    You can extract mentioned file from the backup tar.
    And then grep for 
    "build-version" or "property" to get the exact version details or other details around backup.

        .
        .
        <property value="config" key="type"/>
        <property value="nightly" key="name"/>
        <property value="3199" key="appliance-name"/>
        <property value="2020.11.9.20230221200405" key="build-version"/>
        <property value="nightly_backup" key="description"/>
        <property value="myhostname.mydomain.com" key="host-full-name"/>
        .
        .
