  2. Navigate to ...\Trend Micro\Control Manager and search for Logforwarder.exe.
  3. Run the Logforwarder.exe application as an administrator.
  4. Configure the following information in the Logforwarder Tool:
    • Host: IP address of IBM Qradar
    • Protocol: UDP

    • Format: CEF or CM (Default value is CEF and more readable)
    • Logs to forward: multiple logs can be selected, but the tool will send by the order that is listed (e.g. if both C&C Callback and DLP logs are selected, the tool will send the C&C Callback logs first, before sending the DLP logs).
  5. Click Start, and then click Yes on the Log Forwarder pop-up window.
