How to Create Event Forwarding Rules

You can use event forwarding rules to send CA Enterprise Log Manager events to outside applications. For example, you could send events to CA NSM using syslog. Event forwarding rules allow you to set criteria for the events you want to forward, and set one or more receivers.

The process of creating event forwarding rules, using the forwarding rule wizard, has the following steps:

1. Opening the forwarding rule wizard.
2. Setting a name and optional description for the rule.
3. Creating simple and advanced filters to identify events to forward.
4. Setting rule attributes including forwarding destination and CEG fields to include in the forwarded event.
