How to connect Kafka and QRadar

Step 1: Create a new workflow
Step 2: Add and configure nodes
Step 3: Connect
Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure Kafka and QRadar (using the HTTP Request node)

You can find Kafka and QRadar nodes in the nodes panel and drag them onto your workflow canvas. Kafka node comes with pre-built credentials and supported actions. QRadar can be set up with the HTTP Request node using a pre-configured credential type. The HTTP Request node makes custom API calls to QRadar. Configure Kafka and QRadar nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect Kafka and QRadar

A connection establishes a link between Kafka and QRadar (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.

Step 4: Customize and extend your Kafka and QRadar integration

Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect Kafka and QRadar with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

Step 5: Test and activate your Kafka and QRadar workflow

Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from Kafka to QRadar or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.

Build your own Kafka and QRadar integration

Create custom Kafka and QRadar workflows by choosing triggers and actions. Nodes come with global operations and settings, as well as app-specific parameters that can be configured. You can also use the HTTP Request node to query data from any app or service with a REST API.
