How to Create a Connector

You can create a connector to gather events from a specific operating system or device in your environment. You use an integration or a listener as a template to create a connector, using the new connector wizard. Each new connector is applied to an agent in your environment.

You can create connectors of several types, including WMI and ODBC integrations, which actively gather events of their specified type. You can also create syslog connectors which receive events passively. Syslog connectors can receive events from more than one source, unlike the other types. Therefore the process of creating a syslog connector is slightly different.

The process of creating a connector has the following steps:

  1. Opening the connector wizard.
  2. Adding connector details, including selecting a listener for syslog connectors.
  3. Applying suppression rules.
  4. Applying summarization rules.
  5. Setting connector configurations.
