Planning Agentless Log Collection

Agentless log collection can be implemented by installing an agent on a collection server that collects events from multiple remote event sources.

Consider the following when planning the configuration of agentless log collection from a collection server:

• The fewer connectors deployed to an agent, the better the performance.
• The maximum number of connectors you should configure on a given agent depends on whether the agent is installed on a dedicated server, how powerful this server is, and the kinds of event sources you are targeting. As a rule-of-thumb, you should probably configure no more than forty or fifty connectors on a single agent.
• There is no performance advantage to grouping connectors of the same type configured on different agents to the same collection server. By extension, there is no performance advantage to directing events from same types of event sources to a given CA Enterprise Log Manager server in a federation.
