Sentinel
Log Manager can collect data from a wide range of event sources, such as
TM
intrusion detection systems, firewalls, operating systems, routers, databases, switches, mainframes,
antivirus applications, and Novell applications. A modular architecture divides the task of protocol-
level connections (Connectors) and the parsing logic (Collectors) for specific event sources.
