To set up the connection with the Event Source, you must install the Syslog Connector plug-in.
Perform the following actions to install the Syslog Connector plug-in:
Download the latest Syslog Connector (.zip file) from the Sentinel Plug-ins website. The Syslog Connector is located under the Connectors tab. Save the file to the local computer where you want to run Event Source Management.
Log in to the Sentinel Control Center.
Go to the Event Source Management menu, and select the Live View option. For more information, see Configuring Data Collection for Syslog Event Sources in the Sentinel Administration Guide.
Select Tools > Import plug-in to display the Plug-in Import Type window.
In the Plug-in Import Type window, select the Import Collector or Connector plug-in package file (.zip, .clz, .cnz) option.
Click Next.
In the Choose Plug-in Package File window, browse to and select the Connector file you just downloaded.
Follow the remaining Import Plug-In Wizard instructions to import the Connector into the plug-in repository.
If another version of this Connector is already in use, you can click View Deployed Plug-ins to see which Event Source objects use the deployed Connectors.
(Optional) To update the deployed Connectors, select Update Deployed Plug-ins.
Click Finish.
