Deploying Event Source Servers

Certain event source Connectors (such as the Syslog Connector) require a process to collect data from the actual data source. These processes are called event source servers. They collect data from the data source and then serve it to the event source Connector. Event source servers must be added and associated to any event source Connectors that require a server.

  1. In the Live View, right-click the Collector Manager and select Add Event Source Server. The Select Connector window displays.

    To start the Add Event Source Server Wizard, locate the Collector Manager on which the event source server process runs.

  2. Select a Connector to support your device and click Next. If you do not have any Connectors in the list to support your device, click Install More Connectors.

    For more information on installing a Connector, see Adding Connectors/Collector Plug-Ins.

  3. Configure the various parameters for the server with reference to the Connector selected (For example, Syslog Connector, NAudit Connector, and so on.). The configurable parameters are different for the different Connector types.

  4. Click Next.

  5. Provide a name for the event source server. If you want this server to be running, select the Run check box.

  6. Click Finish.

    In the Health Monitor Display frame, the event source server added here displays with a dashed blue line showing the Collector Manager to which it is associated.

NOTE:This Add Event Source Server Wizard can also be initiated from within the Add Connector Wizard if a compatible event source server has not yet been added.
