Adding a User Custom Datasource

Adding and configuration of custom datasources is undertaken through the configuration section of Event Manager. Once you have selected the asset to which the custom datasource applies, using the Select the asset to audit option, select Actions to Audit.

As this is an asset for which no “out-of-the-box” solution exists, it is necessary to create a custom datasource.

TIP: Custom datasources can also be used to add additional information to an asset for which “out-of-the-box” monitoring is supplied.

The datasource options are listed in the left-hand navigation panel of this display. The first time this option is taken against this asset, no datasources are defined.

To assign a new custom datasource to this asset click the ‘+’ symbol next to the User Custom Datasources option. A pop-up menu panel is displayed from which the required custom datasource can be selected.
