Required setting.

URL

URL of the collector that you created to receive data using Windows Management Instrumentation, for example, kuma-collector.example.com:7221.

When a collector is created, an agent is automatically created that will get data on the remote device and forward it to the collector service. If you know which server the collector service will be installed on, the URL is known in advance. You can enter the URL of the collector in the URL field after completing the installation wizard. To do so, you first need to copy the URL of the collector in the Resources → Active services section.

Required setting.

Description

Description of the resource. Maximum length of the description: 4000 Unicode characters.

Default credentials

No value. You need to specify credentials for connecting to hosts in the Remote hosts table (see below).

Remote hosts

Remote Windows devices to connect to. Available settings:

• Host is the IP address or name of the device from which you want to receive data, for example, machine-1.

  Required setting.

• Domain is the name of the domain in which the remote device resides. For example, example.com.

  Required setting.

• Log type are the names of the Windows logs that you want to get. By default, the drop-down list includes only preconfigured logs, but you can add custom log to the list. To do so, enter the names of the custom logs in the Windows logs field, then press ENTER. KUMA service and resource configurations may require additional changes in order to process custom logs correctly.

  Logs that are available by default:

  • Application
  • ForwardedEvents
  • Security
  • System
  • HardwareEvents

  If a WMI connection uses at least one log with an incorrect name, the agent that uses the connector does not receive events from all the logs within this connection, even if the names of other logs are specified correctly. The WMI agent connections for which all log names are specified correctly will work properly.

• Secret is the account credentials for accessing the remote Windows asset with permissions to read logs. If you leave this field blank, the credentials from the secret selected in the Default credentials drop-down list are used. The login in the secret must be specified without the domain. The domain value for access to the host is taken from the Domain column of the Remote hosts table.

  You can select a secret resource from the drop-down list or create a secret. To create a secret, click . You can change the selected secret by clicking .
