Preparing New Agents for Use

Use the following procedures to prepare each agent for use:

  1. Apply subscription updates to new agents and connectors.
  2. Complete connector configurations, including configuring the event sources.

    Note: The Connectors.xml file derived from the first installed agent provides templates you can use as a basis for event-source specific connectors.

  3. Examine query results and reports to determine whether the data is being collected and refined as expected.
  4. Tailor the connector configurations to meet local requirements.
  5. (Optional) Create agent groups and move the agent to the desired agent group.

Note: For details on each procedure, see the Connector Guides for your operating environment and the Administration Guide.
