Set Connector Configuration

When creating or editing a connector, you can set individual configurations, which determine how the connector receives and transmits events. You can either set the configurations for each connector, or use saved configurations.

Saved configurations are collections of data access settings that you can reuse. You can apply saved configurations to multiple connectors.

To set connector configurations

  1. Open the connector design wizard and advance to the Connector Configuration step.
  2. If you selected the syslog listener/log sensor, select the integration or integrations you want the connector to use.
  3. Select the saved configuration you want from the drop-down list, or alter the displayed configuration values. Connectors inherit their configuration settings from their integration, or the listener in the case of syslog connectors.
  4. (Optional) Click the Help link to view the connector guide for the selected integration. The displayed guide provides details.
  5. Click Save and Close.

    The connector appears in the connectors list.
