You can install an agent directly on an event source. An event source is a host where an application, database, or operating system generates raw events. Or, you can install an agent on a collection point and collect events generated on remote event sources.
When you install the agent, you specify the target server. If you dedicate CA Enterprise Log Manager servers to different roles, the target server is a collection server. During the initial agent startup, the agent registers with the collection CA Enterprise Log Manager you identify during installation.
Event collection begins after you configure connectors on the agent. Each connector collects events from a single event source, performs preliminary event refinement, and then sends them to a CA Enterprise Log Manager server. If an event source is in close network proximity to the CA Enterprise Log Manager server, configure connectors on the resident default agent to collect events.
