Managing SmartConnectors on ArcMC
ArcMC can remotely manage previously-installed, software-based SmartConnectors; however, the remote management feature is disabled on software SmartConnectors by default.
You can install several SmartConnectors on a single host if supported by the hardware. ArcSight certifies a maximum of 4 SmartConnectors on Windows hosts and 8 on Linux hosts.
To manage software-based SmartConnectors with , you need to enable remote management on each connector, as follows:
- In a text editor, in the installation directory for the SmartConnector, open the file
/<install_dir>/user/agent/agent.properties.
- Add the line:
remote.management.enabled=true
- If desired, customize the connector's listening port. The default is 9001. To change this value, add the line:
remote.management.listener.port=<port_number>
, where<port_number>
is the new port number. - Save the file.
- Restart the SmartConnector for changes to take effect.
