What's new for the application framework in QRadar V.7.4.0

IBM® QRadar® V.7.4.0 introduces new features and enhancements.

Run apps in a multi-tenant environment

QRadar V.7.4.0 includes support for multi-tenanted apps. A number of out of the box apps, such as Pulse, Assistant, and Log source manager, can now be used in a multi-tenant environment.

App developers will now be able to mark that their app has been tested and works in a multi-tenanted environment. There are two forms of multi-tenancy support in apps:
  1. The app is tested and works with multi-tenancy, but it is not multi-tenancy aware. When a user installs the app, they are presented with the option to create a default instance. Users can select this option if they only want a single instance of the app, or the app does not need to support multi-tenancy. If a user does not select the Default Instance option, they must create a separate instance for each customer and associate each instance with a security profile to keep all client data separate.
  2. The app is tested and is multi-tenancy aware. In this case, only one instance of the app is necessary. This type of app is also beneficial if the app is designed to be used only by administrators.
