17.5.2 Setting Up a Sentinel Link Connection
This section describes how to set up the Sentinel Link connection to receive messages from another
Sentinel or Sentinel Log Management system, and enable the messages to be processed by a
Collector. To set up the Sentinel Link connection, you must, at a minimum, create and configure a
Sentinel Link Event Source server. The Sentinel Link Event Source server automatically creates and
configures the Connector, the Collector and the Event Source nodes as needed. You can also
manually create the Collector, the Connector, and the Event Source nodes. However, it is easier and
simpler to allow the Sentinel Link Event Source server auto-create them.
The instructions given in this section use the right-click menu items on the Event Source
Management Graph View. However, all the steps described in this section can also be performed
through the Event Source Management Table view and the Connect to Event Source option on the
tool bar.
NOTE: These instructions assume that you have already downloaded and installed the Collector to
process event data from the Sentinel Link Connector.

server, the required Collector, the Connector, and the Event Source nodes are automatically created
and configured when the server receives the events from the sender system. Allowing the Sentinel
