5.4 Configuring Connectors

HTTP Sync Connector is primarily used to receive event data from the Agent to the Forwarder. Once the HTTP Connector is configured using default configuration, create the event destination for the agent to start sending event data. For more information, see Creating Event Destinations.

Sentinel Link Integrator Configuration sends event data from the Forwarder to Cloud Layer. For more information, see Enabling Event Data to Cloud. The Sentinel Link Integrator is configured at the forwarder to send the event data. Before you send events from the integrator, ensure that S Link server is running on the receiver computer.

NOTE:

  • If you are configuring the settings in a cloud forwarder, ensure that you are able to access the DNS or the IP address.

  • If the host name is reachable, you can configure multiple forwarders from a single machine.

  • If you are configuring the connectors in a proxy environment, ensure to enable the proxy settings. For more information, see Enabling Proxy Settings.

This section provides the following information:
