Features of the BMC Event Adapters
The BMC Event Adapters can collect source events from:
- Operating system and application log files
- SNMP type 1 and type 2 traps
- The Windows Event Log
The BMC Event Adapters are: the LogFile Adapter, the SNMP Adapter, the Perl EventLog Adapter for Windows, and the IP Adapters.
The LogFile Adapter, the SNMP Adapter, and the Perl EventLog Adapter for Windows are preconfigured and include dedicated parsers. The IP Adapters require more extensive configuration, including the option to choose from a number of parsers.
The predefined adapter instances also provide collectors for organizing events in the Events View. Administrators can modify the predefined adapters and event classes, and implement their own event adapters.
