Extended Direct Log Collection by Default Agent

At the CA Enterprise Log Manager installation, the Syslog listener, named Syslog_Connector, is deployed on the default agent to enable the collection of syslog events. The Linux_localsyslog integration, with the associated connector, Linux_localsyslog_Connector, is also available to collect syslog events.

The default agent can now directly collect more than syslog events. Using the WinRm connector, the default agent can collect events from products running on Microsoft Windows platforms, such as Active Directory Certificate Services and Microsoft Office Communication Server. Using the ODBC connector, the default agent can collect events from multiple databases such as Oracle9i and SQL Server 2005, and applications that store their events in these databases.
