LEM Agent Alarm Notifications and Triggers

Hi, Aaron.

Provided the computers that have the LEM Agent installed have network access to the LEM Manager (i.e. no firewall in the way), the Agents should connect automatically. The LEM Agent for Windows has three tools configured by default, so you should start getting alerts for these resources immediately: Windows Security Log, Window System Log, and Windows Application Log. If you want to see additional alerts from these computers (AV alerts, for example), you'll have to configure a tool for each additional product. You can set up new tools for your LEM Agents in the Manage > Agents view under Agent gear icon > Tools.

Regarding your devices that are logging to the LEM Manager, their tools are set up on the Manager side. This can be done in the Manage > Appliances view under Manager gear icon > Tools.

If you're looking for more detailed information about setting up rules, filters or specific tools for email alerts, console notifications (blinking filter names, popup messages, etc.), or alerting for complex devices, respectively, please check out our knowledge base at http://knowledgebase.solarwinds.com.

Let me know if I didn't answer your question.

Thanks.

Thanks Phil,

Do you have any steps or procedures that would help me accomplish the following:

1. What are the steps or procedures on how to use' the event correlation' ,like, I need to know the relationships of any number of events with some identifiable patterns - relationships between events.

2. What are the steps to collect logs from Cisco Iron Port S Series web filter? Is there any plugin to install or a tool where i can activate logging on this machine and what are the steps or procedures?

This question was addressed in the following thread: LEM Event and Log Correlation.

Thanks.

Thanks Phil for the answers. They are very helpful.
