2.4 Setting Up a Sentinel Link Connection

This section describes how to set up the Sentinel Link connection to receive messages from another Sentinel or Sentinel Log Management system, and enable the Collector to process the messages. To set up the Sentinel Link connection, you must, at a minimum, create and configure a Sentinel Link Event Source server. The Sentinel Link Event Source server automatically creates and configures the Connector, the Collector, and the Event Source nodes as needed. You can also manually create the Collector, the Connector, and the Event Source nodes.

For more information about manually configuring the Sentinel Link connection, see the documentation for the Sentinel Link Collector and Connector Plug-ins, available on the NetIQ Sentinel Plug-ins Web site.
