Hey all,

This is a quick update for everyone that the dev team released a new version of QDI yesterday as v3.0.0. The QDI 3.0.0 release is ONLY FOR CERTAIN VERSIONS OF QRADAR (7.3.3 Fix Pack 5 or 7.4.1 Fix Pack 1 or earlier). There is another release pending for 3.0.1 if you are on newer QRadar releases.

The difference between these two versions is that 3.0.1 uses the new Universal Base Image 8 for QRadar app development. QRadar admins who are on the most recent releases of QRadar will need to wait for 3.0.1.

If you use QDI and plan to upgrade to the latest version, be aware that there is a known issue linked on that page that users might want to pay attention to. If you use the health reports that are saved within the QDI app over time, you need to run a utility to ensure they those reports are migrated to persistent storage before you upgrade to QDI 3.0.0. If you install QDI without running the support utility, the older reports are no longer available after you upgrade. Running the utility will allow reports in the older version to be on the new Reports tab when you upgrade to 3.0.0 or 3.0.1 when released.

Support wrote a tech note on this issue here: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6454155

We wanted to call this out for QDI app users to be visible and that if you heavily use QDI to watch for 3.0.1 which is expected sometime later this month*.

*Release dates are determined by pending QA approvals.
