  • 1.  RAW Log Store in QRadar

    Posted 12/16/19 02:22 PM
    Hi Team,
    I need an answer for my compliance Team. How does EP archive the RAW logs from Log Sources?
    If I had a log archival for 1 year, how does it is being stored in EP/ Data Node? Can we store the archive in txt\csv format?

    Thanks, Sushanta

    See the following article:

    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/event-processing-pipeline

    The events get stored on the EP and/or on the DataNode that is attached to the EP.

    They get stored there up to the duration of the retention policy for events which is set in Admin  > Event Retention in the UI.

    They are stored in compressed archives.

    I do not think you would want events to be stored in text/csv format (they are stored as compressed archives) as you would quickly run out of space and searches would most likely become inefficient.
