A collector consists of two parts: one part is created inside the KUMA web interface, and the other part is installed on a server in the network infrastructure intended for receiving events.
Actions in the KUMA web interface.
The creation of a collector in the KUMA web interface is carried out by using the Installation Wizard. This Wizard combines the required resources into a set of resources for a collector. Upon completion of the Wizard, the service itself is automatically created based on this set of resources.
To create a collector in the KUMA web interface,
Start the Collector Installation Wizard:
As a result of completing the steps of the Wizard, a collector service is created in the KUMA web interface.
A resource set for a collector includes the following resources:
These resources can be prepared in advance, or you can create them while the Installation Wizard is running.
If you specified deploy_example_services: true parameter when installing KUMA and want to use the [Example] WEC Collector predefined resource set, make sure that a unique port is specified in the URL field in the collector settings in the Transport section.
Actions on the KUMA Collector Server
Install the collector on the server that you intend to use to receive events. On this server, you must run the command displayed at the last step of the Installation Wizard. 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 collector, you are advised to make sure that it is working correctly.
