    Hi,

    To configure external logging, you need to go to Admin-> Servers-> Local Site -> Configure External Logging configure external logging.JPG


    And I think the SSIM is able to accept the logs in syslog format. So if you provide the address of SSIM with the relevent information, it should be able to forward the logs.

    Best,

    Using Syslog forwarding will work but it is not the best way, as the problem with any syslog (TCP/UDP) is that is target is down messages can be lost. (also suing syslog the mapping won't be good as it won't be correlating events with Deepsight GIN data.


    SSIM has special Symantec EndPoint Collector 4.3. This collector goes directly in the DB to collect information (it support SQL or Sybase)

    If you are using SSIM 4.6 or 4.7, this collector is alredy pre-installed onboard.

    Laurent_C that is correct.

    I completed the configuration of SSIM to take information from SEPM with SQL server 2005 and the procedure was as follows:

    Install the SSIM agent on the SEP server.
    Install the collector on the SEP SEP server.
    Install the collector on the SEP State SEP server.
    Install from SSIM client on the SEPM server
    Configure the sensor on SSIM appliance.

    To">https://fileconnect.symantec.com/">To download the collectors must do so from: https: / / fileconnect.symantec.com /
