Connector Editor Tabs

The Connector Editor provides several options you can adjust. The options are organized in tabs and subtabs, described below.

Tabs on the Connector Editor
Connector Tab Configuration Fields Basic identification, ownership, and date/time parameters.
Networks The ArcSight networks to which the connector is or can be assigned. Click the Add button on this tab to assign the connector to a network. Note: Network and zone assignment for connectors in a tiered ESM architecture In a tiered ESM architecture, you are sending events from one ESM source to the ESM destination. The ESM installations are similar and therefore the networks and zones are the same. You must therefore assign connectors (including Forwarding Connector) to the same network, and the network must be assigned to the zone. This ensures the preservation of Reference Pages information, if this resource group attribute is configured. See the following topics: Working with Assets, Locations, Zones, Networks, Vulnerabilities, and Categories for information on how to configure zones and networks in your asset model Working with Resource Groups for information about the Reference Pages attribute
Default Content Tab Configuration Fields Includes options for report batching, aggregation, and time corrections.
Default: Filters A filter condition editor for constraining what the connector reports. (See Managing SmartConnector Filter Conditions and Common Conditions Editor (CCE) for details on how to define filters for connectors.)
Alternate: Content A set of options identical to those under Default, which you can use to create alternate configurations. Appears only after you add an Alternate tab.
Alternate: Filters A filter condition editor for constraining what the connector reports, in an alternate configuration.
Notes: Table A text editor for, and tabular list of, configuration notes.
Notes: List A text editor for, and text presentation of, configuration notes.

Connector Tab Configuration Fields

Basic identification, ownership, and date/time parameters.

Networks

The ArcSight networks to which the connector is or can be assigned. Click the Add button on this tab to assign the connector to a network.

Note: Network and zone assignment for connectors in a tiered ESM architecture

In a tiered ESM architecture, you are sending events from one ESM source to the ESM destination. The ESM installations are similar and therefore the networks and zones are the same. You must therefore assign connectors (including Forwarding Connector) to the same network, and the network must be assigned to the zone. This ensures the preservation of Reference Pages information, if this resource group attribute is configured.
