2.6 Supported Event Sources

Sentinel Log Manager supports a variety of devices and applications, including intrusion detection systems, firewalls, operating systems, routers, Web servers, databases, switches, mainframes, and antivirus event sources. The data from these event sources is parsed and normalized to varying degrees depending on whether the data is processed by using the generic event Collector that puts the entire payload of the event into a common field, or by using a device-specific Collector that parses the data into individual fields.

The following event sources are supported by Sentinel Log Manager:

NOTE:To enable data collection from the Novell iManager and Novell Netware 6.5 event sources, add an instance of a collector and a child connector (Audit connector) in the Event Source Management interface for each of the event sources. When this is done, these event sources appear in the Sentinel Log Manager Web interface > collection > Event Sources.

Collectors supporting additional event sources can either be obtained from the Sentinel Plug-ins Web site or built by using the SDK plug-ins that are available on the Sentinel Plug-in SDK Web site.
