Configuration
SNMP
AccelOps uses SNMP to discover and monitor this device. Make sure SNMP is enabled for the device as directed in its product documentation, then follow the instructions in Setting Access Credentials for Device Discovery to establish the connection between the device and AccelOps, and to initiate the device discovery process.
Syslog
AccelOps processes events from this device via syslogs sent by the device. Configure the device to send syslogs to AccelOps as directed in the device’s product documentation, and AccelOps will parse the contents.
For Syslog Server, or the server where the syslogs should be sent, enter the IP address of your AccelOps virtual appliance.
For Port, enter 514.
Make sure that the syslog type is Common Event Format (CEF). The syslog format should be the same as that shown in the example.
