The Event connector can collect event data from any generic text log file. Managing log files through CA SOI lets you monitor application logs for failure events that may contribute to service degradation. For example, you can configure the application log policy to monitor an important network activity log file for specific failures so that you can include these events in service impact analysis.
The connector can read any text log file on its system. You can monitor one log file at a time.
By default, the Event connector is configured to monitor the CA Event Integration Axis2 log file. Configure the source policy to monitor a different log file. You can specify the log file name and path in the applog-src.xml file from the CA Event Integration administrative interface. However, you must also customize the policy file directly to match the format of the log file to monitor and specify the type of information to collect from the file. For more information about policy customization, see the CA Event Integration Product Guide.
After customizing the policy file, deploy the catalog again for the connector to begin monitoring the log file according to the customized policy.
