Step 1. Connect event sources

This is a required step of the Installation Wizard. At this step, you specify the main settings of the collector: its name and the tenant that will own it.

To specify the basic settings of the collector:

• In the Name field, enter a unique name for the service you are creating. The name must contain from 1 to 128 Unicode characters.

  When certain types of collectors are created, agents named "agent: <Collector name>, auto created" are also automatically created together with the collectors. If this type of agent was previously created and has not been deleted, it will be impossible to create a collector named <Collector name>. If this is the case, you will have to either specify a different name for the collector or delete the previously created agent.

• In the Tenant drop-down list, select the tenant that will own the collector. The tenant selection determines what resources will be available when the collector is created.

  If you return to this window from another subsequent step of the Installation Wizard and select another tenant, you will have to manually edit all the resources that you have added to the service. Only resources from the selected tenant and shared tenant can be added to the service.

• If required, specify the number of processes that the service can run concurrently in the Workers field. By default, the number of worker processes is the same as the number of vCPUs on the server where the service is installed.
• If necessary, use the Debug drop-down list to enable logging of service operations.
• You can optionally add up to 256 Unicode characters describing the service in the Description field.

The main settings of the collector are specified. Proceed to the next step of the Installation Wizard.
