Overview

This article provides step-by-step processes on adding an event source in GFI EventsManager.

Process

An event source is defined as a target device that GFI EventsManager would be configured to collect events from. Event Sources can be added manually or through Synchronization:

• To manually add an event source:
  1. Open the GFI EventsManager Console and navigate to Configuration > Event Sources.
  2. Select the intended Group under Groups:
     • Do not select 'All event sources' node as this is not a group.
  3. Right-click on the selected source group or anywhere on the right-hand pane Add new event source'.
     
     

     
     
     

  4. Enter the name or IP of the required source machine and click Add.
     
     
     
     

  5. Click Finish.

     Note: To add an event source using synchronization, refer to Editing Synchronization Options in GFI EventsManager.
