Connecting to an Event Source
There are several methods to configure an event source. Event sources can be deployed by right-
clicking on an existing Collector Manager, Collector, or Connectors.
To deploy an event source, you need the following components:
Collector Script: Collector scripts can be downloaded from the
(http://support.novell.com/products/sentinel/sentinel6.1html)
implementation (4.x or 5.x), or built by using the Collector Builder.
Connector: A Connector can also be downloaded from the
support.novell.com/products/sentinel/sentinel61.html). There are also some Connectors
included in the installed Sentinel system, but there might be more recent versions on the Web
site.
Configuration information for the event source
To connect to the event sources:
1 Click Tools on the menu bar and select Connect to Event Source. Alternatively, click the
Connect to Event Source button on the toolbar. The Connect to Event Source window displays.
