Deploying Event Source Servers
Certain Event Source Connectors (such as the Syslog Connector) require a process to collect data
from the actual data source. These processes are called "Event Source Servers". They collect data
from the data source and then "serve" it to the Event Source Connector. Event Source Servers must
be added and associated to any Event Source Connectors that require a server.
To add an Event Source Server:
1 In the Live View, right-click the Collector Manager and select Add Event Source Server. Select
Connector window displays.
