ThreatQ as a Virtual Instance (OVA)

Virtual Prerequisites

The OVA works on ESX(i) 5.5 and above. When you install the OVA in an ESX(i) 5.5 or higher environment, the system asks if you want to upgrade the hardware level of the virtual machine.  This is a supported choice as the OVA has been validated to run in both versions with the default hardware levels.

For instructions on installing the OVA on your Hypervisor, consult your Hypervisor's documentation.

Installing ThreatQ as a Virtual Instance

The page does not automatically refresh when the host has finished the reboot. Reboot times can vary based on the environment and may take up to several minutes.

1. Use the URL provided in your Welcome Letter to download a virtual machine image.
2. Import the OVA into your virtualization platform.

   Do not accept the OVA's default allocations.  Instead, allocate the system requirements described in Virtual and BYOD System Requirements. 

3. From the virtualization platform, launch the ThreatQ console and log in using the following credentials:
   User: root
   Password: fln75g98 (see phonetic spelling below)

   The root user cannot SSH by default. For SSH access, you must create a new user.

   Password Character	Phonetic
   f	foxtrot
   l	lima
   n	November
   7	seven
   5	five
   g	golf
   9	nine
   8	eight

4. Enter the following command to obtain the IP Address:
   ip addr
    

   The system enables DHCP by default. See Configuring Network Connectivity for static IP configuration.

5. Navigate to the returned IP Address in a web browser.
   The ThreatQ first boot page loads. You can now log in for the first time.
