  • 1.  Custom predefined query for JDBC

    Posted Wed February 20, 2019 01:26 PM
    Dear All,

    Is there any chance to create a custom predefined query for Microsoft SQL JDBC connection, because with the given options we can not query the proper information from the SQL instance.
    Thanks,

    Edmond

    Hi Edmond

    We had the same problem. Our workaround was to create a new view with all the information we need and to query them.

    Regards

    Rouven is correct.

    The drop-down for Predefined Queries in the JDBC log source user interface is intended for vendors who integrate with QRadar. What this field is doing in the background is running a complex query with joins to get the retrieve the data required from different tables. Users who need to get data from multiple tables can create a view / materialized view then poll the view using JDBC as mentioned by Rouven.

    That being said, if you think a feature enhancement should be made to JDBC to allow users to create complex queries where materialized views might be restricted in your environment, you can open a Request for Enhancement (RFE) and our Offering Team can review this request. I've heard a few users talk in the support forums (https://ibm.biz/qradarforums) about not being the DBA in their org, so trying to get a view created/maintained is a painful process for them. If that is the case in your situation, then I would suggest getting a RFE created and explain your scenario. If you make your RFE public, other users can vote on them.
