Configure a CA Enterprise Log Manager Server as a Child Server

Configuring one CA Enterprise Log Manager server as the child of another is the essential step in creating a federation. Use this procedure to add servers to your federation at any time. You must install all of the CA Enterprise Log Manager servers you want to federate under the same registered application instance name prior to performing this part of the configuration. As you install each new server, its name appears in the list of servers available for federation. You can perform this procedure as many times as is necessary to create the federated structure you want.

To configure a CA Enterprise Log Manager server as a child server

1. Log into any one of the CA Enterprise Log Manager servers that is registered under the same application instance name as the others in your intended federation.
2. Click the Administration tab and select the Services subtab.
3. Expand the Event Log Store service folder, and then select the server name for the parent CA Enterprise Log Manager server.
4. Scroll down to the Federation Children list.
5. Select one or more server names that you want to configure as children of the parent server from the servers in the Available list.
6. Use the arrow buttons to move your selections to the list of Selected servers.

   The CA Enterprise Log Manager servers you selected and moved into the list are now federated children of the parent server.
