List Collection Profiles (/collectionprofiles)

You can use this call to return a list of the available event collection profiles. Each profile contains the information required to configure event collection on a specific event source.

Note: Event Collection profiles are configured from the CA User Activity Reporting Module user interface. See the CA User Activity Reporting Module Online Help for more information on configuring Event Collection profiles.

Supported Methods: GET

GET curl -u elm_user:elm_password -k -H "Accept: application/xml" "https://hostname:8443/rest/am/1/collectionprofiles"

Returns:

<collectionProfiles>

    <collectionProfile>

        <name>Tenant1 - Linux</name>

        <description>Collects Linux syslog events for the first tenant</description>

        <credentialsRequired>false</credentialsRequired>

    </collectionProfile>

    <collectionProfile>

        <name>Tenant1 Windows</name>

        <description>Collects WinRM events for the first tenant</description>

        <credentialsRequired>true</credentialsRequired>

    </collectionProfile>

    <collectionProfile>

        <name>Tenant2 HPUX</name>

        <description>Collects HPUX syslog events for the second tenant</description>

        <credentialsRequired>false</credentialsRequired>

    </collectionProfile>

</collectionProfiles>

The “credentialsRequired” element indicates whether you must submit an event source userid and password during deployment:

• This value is true in the case of active (or pull) collection such as a WinRM connector, that polls event sources for information.
• This value is false in the case of passive (or push) collection such a syslog server that sends data directly to CA User Activity Reporting Module.
