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.
To deploy an Event Source Server:
In the Live View, right-click on the Collector Manager and select Add Event Source Server. Select Required connector window will display.
NOTE: To start the Add Event Source Server Wizard, locate the Collector Manager on which the Event Source Server process will run.
2. Select a connector that would support your device and click Next. If you do not have any connectors in the list that would support your device, click Install More Connectors. For more information on installing connector, see "Add Plug-in".
3. Configure the various parameters for the server with reference to the connector selected (For example, syslog connector, NAudit connector, HTTPS connector and so on.). The configurable parameters will be different for the different Connector types. Click Next.
4. Enter a Name for the Event Source Server. If you would want this server to be running, select the "Run" checkbox.
5. Click Finish. In the Health Monitor Display frame, the Event Source Server added here will appear with a dashed blue line showing the Collector Manager to which it is associated to.
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.
