ThreatQ Platform (TQ)

The following are bug fixes for the ThreatQ platform.

Notable Bug Fixes

• ThreatQ returned the following error when ingesting data from a TAXII integration: Error applying filter ParseSTIX. This error occurred when the feed included more than one STIX object with a relationship to the same location. We resolved this error by updating the parsing of location information.
• In the object details page, we changed the helper text displayed in the Audit Log and and Operations search fields from Object Object to Search # records where # represents the total number of records listed in the section.
• To improve performance, we modified the process the STIX parser uses to compare objects.

How to Upgrade

After you start the upgrade, do not cancel the installation. Doing so will leave your system in an unusable state.

Platform Check

ThreatQ provides you with the ability to run an independent preflight check, prior to upgrading, to ensure adequate disk space. The system will also scan your installed integrations for any incompatible versions.  You will be unable to perform the upgrade if an incompatible integration version is detected. 

This scan does not apply to integrations installed on third-party systems such as the ThreatQ App for QRadar.

Run a platform check for the most recent ThreatQ version:

# sudo /usr/local/bin/tqadmin platform check

Run a platform check for a specific version:

# sudo /usr/local/bin/tqadmin platform check -v <version number>

Upgrade Commands

To upgrade, run the following command:

# sudo /usr/local/bin/tqadmin platform upgrade

To upgrade to a specific version, run the following command:

# sudo /usr/local/bin/tqadmin platform upgrade -v <version number>
