Create a connector profile from a template
Create a profile from a template with preconfigured connectors.
- On the SEM Console, navigate to Configure > Connector Profiles.
- On the Connector Profile toolbar, click Create, and then select From template.
- From the Connector profile template drop-down list, select a template, and then click Continue.
- Enter a new name and description for the profile, and then click Create and Next.
Under Configured connectors is a list of preconfigured template connectors.
- To configure an additional connector, click Add connector.
- Under Refine Results, expand the Type group, and then select Connector or Active Response.
- Find the connector to configure. Type part of the connector name in the search box, or use the filter menus in the Refine Results pane.
- Complete the connector configuration form. The following fields are common across most connectors:
- Name: Enter a user-friendly label for your connectors.
- Log File: Enter the location of the log file that the connector will normalize. This is a location on either the local computer (Agents), or the SEM appliance (non-Agent devices).
- Output: Normalized, Raw + Normalized, Raw. You only need to configure these values if SEM is configured to save raw (unnormalized) log messages.
- Click Add.
- Continue to add more connectors to the profile as needed, and then click Next.
- Click Assign agents to add one or more agents to the profile.
An agent can only be a member of one connector profile. Learn more about connector profiles here.
