11.0 Managing Event Sources

The Event Sources interface displays the health of the event source and the volume of data being received from it in events per second. The event sources page lists all the event sources, such as Syslog, Audit, File, and Database, which are configured in the Event Source Management interface.

You can refine the displayed event sources by selecting Collector Managers, Event Source Servers, and Collector plug-ins. You can also specify a filter on the event source name and select particular event source health states you want to view. All of these selections and filters are stored on a per-user basis, so that each time you log into the Sentinel server you can view event sources that match your last selections.You can also perform filtering based on tags. For more information, see Configuring Tags in the NetIQ Sentinel User Guide.
