You can download the .run package installer from the LogRhythm Community. The file is named LRDataIndexer-.version.x86_64.run.After downloading the installer, use a program like WinSCP to copy it to the logrhythm user’s home directory on one of your Indexer appliances (for example, /home/logrhythm/Soft). When connecting to the Indexer system to transfer the file, connect as the logrhythm user. When upgrading the Linux Indexer, note the following:Your cluster can contain 1 or 3-10 physical hot nodes (must contain at least 1 hot node), and 1-10 warm nodes (optional).You only need to run the package installer on one of the cluster nodes.You should run the upgrade installer on the same server where you ran the original installer.Each Indexer appliance or server in a cluster must be of identical specification. For example, the same appliance model, or same configuration of processors, hard drives, network interfaces, and RAM. Download TLS 1.2 Patches and HotfixesTo enable communication over TLS 1.2 for all LogRhythm SIEM components, your base deployment must meet the following requirements:Platform Manager is running SQL Server 2016 Standard SP1, SQL Server 2019, or SQL Server 2022.LogRhythm SIEM core components on Windows are running Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2. .NET 4.7.2 will be installed by component installers that require it. After ensuring that your base deployment meets the above requirements, .NET 4.7.2 rollup updates are required on all Windows appliances or servers running LogRhythm components. If the target appliance is up-to-date with important Windows updates, some hotfixes may not be required. If this is the case, the installer indicates that. Installers for all the required patches and hotfixes are available in a .zip file on the Community

For customers looking to leverage additional visualization tools, LogRhythm SIEM is compatible with Kibana. Designing Kibana with LogRhythmBy default, Kibana connects to the local Elasticsearch node running on the host where you install Kibana, listening on localhost:9200 by default. This connection to the local node allows you to visualize data from all nodes within the same cluster. In a Windows/XM configuration, you should run one Kibana UI for each XM in your environment. This could be multiple instances if you have a DR configuration.For Linux DX configurations, you should run one Kibana UI for each cluster from which you want to visualize data. You can pick any node in the cluster from which to run Kibana and it will visualize all data within that cluster. Kibana can visualize open index data only (hot tier), so any closed indexes (warm tier) will not be visible. Support for multi-cluster Kibana configurations is out-of-scope for this documentation. Please refer to our Professional Services team for assistance with this type of configuration.Kibana VersionsThe version of Kibana must match the version of Elasticsearch being used, and the OSS version must always be used. In the event that your LogRhythm version is upgraded, you may need to upgrade Kibana. LogRhythm Versions 7.8 - 7.17 - Elasticsearch 6.8.23 - Kibana 6.8.23 DownloadLogRhythm Versions 7.18+ - Elasticsearch 7.10.2 - Kibana 7.10.2 DownloadWarnings and Disclaimers Kibana is a third-party software and is licensed under third-party terms. The OSS edition falls under the Apache 2.0 license agreement and can be used with LogRhythm. All other editions of Kibana should not be used. Kibana may have a detrimental effect on LogRhythm SIEM’s indexing and search performance. Use of Kibana is at your own risk. It is important to note that Kibana requires storage space within the Elasticsearch clusters, which can negatively impact your Data Indexer’s ability to store logs, and can decrease the TTL of available log data. LogRhythm cannot provide support for Kibana, and if Kibana negatively impacts your Data Indexer, LogRhythm may ask you to remove the instance of Elasticsearch per LogRhythm’s Support Services Addendum.LogRhythm SIEM and Kibana ConfigurationEnsure the Elasticsearch cluster is healthy by performing the following steps:On the DX server, run the curl command: BASH curl localhost:9200/_cluster/health?prettyIf the status isn’t green, consider working with LogRhythm Support to ensure your cluster is healthy before configuring Kibana.Download Kibana.
