Installing

The  BMC Defender UTS is usually delivered as an embedded component of the BMC Defender SIEM Server. You can download it from the BMC Defender SIEM Server home screen to various UNIX platforms via a web browser. You can fetch specific tar.gz files for various UNIX platforms via a web browser, or push these packages to UNIX platforms using FTP. It provides a simple method of ensuring connectivity between the UNIX platform and BMC Defender SIEM Server, as well as providing a consistent way of controlling downloads within the enterprise.

 BMC Defender UTS is specifically designed not to scatter files into UNIX system directories. All UNIX files reside in a single directory selected by the root administrator. This directory is typically either /opt/BMC Defender, /usr/local/BMC Defender, or some other directory that the installer chooses.

After the UNIX files are installed on a platform, the root administrator configures and edits the CO-logmon.cnf or CO-fmon.cnf files (provided as part of the distribution) to supply the value for DestinationAddress (the IP address of the BMC Defender SIEM Server). The root administrator then launches the CO-logmon program or CO-fmon program as a background process and configures the program to launch via system startup.
