A correlator consists of two parts: one part is created inside the KUMA web interface, and the other part is installed on the network infrastructure server intended for processing events.
Actions in the KUMA web interface
A correlator is created in the KUMA web interface by using the Installation Wizard, which combines the necessary resources into a set of resources for the correlator. Upon completion of the Wizard, the service is automatically created based on this set of resources.
To create a correlator in the KUMA web interface:
Start the Correlator Installation Wizard:
As a result of completing the steps of the Wizard, a correlator service is created in the KUMA web interface.
A resource set for a correlator includes the following resources:
These resources can be prepared in advance, or you can create them while the Installation Wizard is running.
Actions on the KUMA correlator server
If you are installing the correlator on a server that you intend to use for event processing, you need to run the command displayed at the last step of the Installation Wizard on the server. When installing, you must specify the identifier automatically assigned to the service in the KUMA web interface, as well as the port used for communication.
Testing the installation
After creating a correlator, it is recommended to make sure that it is working correctly.
