How to Create a Syslog Listener

You can use the listener wizard to create or edit syslog listeners. The listener controls how syslog events are routed to the CA Enterprise Log Manager server.

Note: You can use the subscription (pre-defined) syslog listener for almost all purposes. Certain users may want to adjust their syslog reception by using custom listeners, and these instructions are included for their purposes.

To take full advantage of this advanced feature, you need a thorough understanding of the syslog event sources in your environment.

Creating an integration includes the following steps:

1. Opening the listener wizard.
2. Adding components.
3. Selecting suppression rules.
4. Selecting summarization rules.
5. Setting default configurations.
