This article describes how to verify that the ​X-Force server database updates are current by using the log file.

 

If you have a proxy configured in your network, administrators will need to update httpd as per KB31626 - [JSA] X-Force feeds not updated with proxy enabled; otherwise, JSA will not receive new feeds from the X-Force server.

 

To verify that the X-Force server is receiving daily updates to the database, manually check the dca log entries against the information provided in Versions Info.

When confirming the latest database versions in the link, check for the following:

SDK (Web) = url_database

SDK (IP Reputation) = ipr_database

SDK (Web Application Control) = wac_database

 

After the database update, you will see the following within dca_info.log.

Note: For JSA 2014.6 and later, the log is located in /var/log/dca/dca_info.log.

[root@qradar dca]# grep "url_database, version" dca_info.log | tail -1
45273 2017-03-15 14:45:52.979 N UpdateModule url_database, version = 6.00409691

[root@qradar dca]# grep "ipr_database, version" dca_info.log | tail -1
45273 2017-03-15 14:45:54.765 N UpdateModule ipr_database, version = 6.00611939

[root@qradar dca]# grep "wac_database, version" dca_info.log | tail -1
45273 2017-03-15 14:45:54.765 N UpdateModule dcafilterdb, version = 6.00611940

Note: These values change as often as every 5 minutes, so your system may not have updated to the posted values before they update again.
