Configuring the Default Agent

The CA Enterprise Log Manager installation creates a default agent on the CA Enterprise Log Manager server that has two connectors ready for use, a syslog_Connector and a Linux_local Connector. The syslog connector is available for collection of syslog events sent to the CA Enterprise Log Manager server. The Linux_local connector is available for collection of OS-level events from the CA Enterprise Log Manager physical server, or from a syslog file.

In the basic two-server environment, configure one or more syslog connectors on the collection server to receive events.

The process for using the default agent includes the following steps:

  1. (optional) Review the syslog integrations and listeners.
  2. Create a syslog connector.
  3. Verify that the CA Enterprise Log Manager server is receiving syslog events.
