Step 2. Transportation
This is a required step of the Installation Wizard. On the Transport tab of the Installation Wizard, select or create a connector and in its settings, specify the source of events for the collector service.
To add an existing connector to a resource set,
select the name of the required connector from the Connector drop-down list.
The Transport tab of the Installation Wizard displays the settings of the selected connector. You can open the selected connector for editing in a new browser tab using the 
button.
To create a new connector:
- Select Create new from the Connector drop-down list.
- In the Type drop-down list, select the connector type and specify its settings on the Basic settings and Advanced settings tabs. The available settings depend on the selected type of connector:
When using the tcp or udp connector type at the normalization stage, IP addresses of the assets from which the events were received will be written in the DeviceAddress event field if it is empty.
When using a wmi or wec connector, agents will be automatically created for receiving Windows events.
It is recommended to use the default encoding (UTF-8), and to apply other settings only if bit characters are received in the fields of events.
Making KUMA collectors to listen on ports up to 1,000 requires running the service of the relevant collector with root privileges. To do this, after installing the collector, add the line
AmbientCapabilities = CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICEto its systemd configuration file in the [Service] section.
The systemd file is located in the /usr/lib/systemd/system/kuma-collector-<collector ID>.service directory.
The connector is added to the resource set of the collector. The created connector is only available in this resource set and is not displayed in the web interface Resources → Connectors section.
Proceed to the next step of the Installation Wizard.
