The Event connector uses CA Event Integration technology to enable integration with event sources. The connector relies on the CA Event Integration manager and requires a local or remote installation of the CA Event Integration manager. The connector also communicates with the SA Manager in CA SOI.
The Event connector supports installation on Windows, Solaris, and Linux systems. The CA Event Integration manager installation is supported only on Windows.
Note: For more information about specific platform support, see the CA Event Integration Release Notes.
By default, the Event connector is preconfigured to send the following events to CA SOI when installed on Windows:
The CA NSM and Windows Event Log sources must be local to the installation because the connector always collects events from the local Windows Event Log. If you want to collect CA NSM agent events, you must install the connector on a CA NSM server for the CA NSM event integration to work.
Note: You must customize the CA NSM source policy to handle non-agent events in the Event Console.
When installed on Solaris or Linux, no preconfiguration occurs, and you must manually configure the connector to collect events from specified sources and send them to CA SOI.
Installing the Event connector on a system that contains a previous version of CA Event Integration automatically upgrades the product. For more information, see Upgrade Existing CA Event Integration Connector.
Note: Integration of CA Event Integration with Event Management is automatically enabled if you use the CA Event Integration Event Connector option (CA Event Integration installation image) during installation. This option is for installing the CA SOI-specific Event connector that automatically configures integration with CA SOI. However, if you install CA Event Integration separately from CA SOI using the CA Event Integration option, the integration is not enabled automatically. In this case, you must manually enable the integration.
