The Event connector uses CA Event Integration technology to integrate raw event sources with CA SOI. The connector collects events from the sources, transforms the events into the USM alert format, sends events to the local Event Store, and displays the events as infrastructure alerts in CA SOI. The connector creates CIs automatically for objects associated with the alerts such as servers, routers, and CPUs. You can create services from the created CIs to manage the event sources from a service-oriented perspective, or you can manage the alerts in defined queues.
The Event connector events use a version of the Event Store that is installed with CA Event Integration, controlled by the CA EI Event Management service. All events go into a CA Event Integration-specific Event Store. The stored events then become available for various Event Management operations. After you perform the Event Management operations, the processed events appear as actionable alerts in the Operations Console for further analysis.
Note: The Event Management functionality is not supported on Solaris and Linux operating platforms.
The Event connector can send events from the following sources to CA SOI:
Note: The connector does not support sources marked "Windows only" when installed on Solaris and Linux operating platforms.
Note: For more information about the specific events that the connector can collect from each source, see the topics specific to each source in Configure the Event Connector. For more information about the Event connector, see the CA Event Integration Product Guide.
