Add Listener Components

To create a syslog listener, set details such as a name and configuration helper.

To add listener components

1. Open the listener wizard.
2. Type a name for the new listener.
3. (Optional) Select the following component from the drop-down list:

   Configuration Helper

   Defines the helper binary the integration uses to connect to the selected log store. Most integrations do not require a configuration helper.

   Note: The sensor type for a listener is always syslog.

4. (Optional) Type a description for the listener.
5. Click the appropriate arrow to advance to the wizard step you want to complete next, or click Save and Close.

   If you click Save and Close, the new integration appears in the user folder list, otherwise the step you select appears.
