  2. Click the previously created log source.

  3. Click the more (Ellipsis) icon and click Configure Template.

Accessing Templates

To use the created template as a log source, click the template and click Save Configuration. The template is now saved as a log source. However, Logpoint must have the normalizers and repos used in the template. If the repos are not there, you must either create repos with the same names or select different ones. For normalizers, you can either install the normalizer or deselect them.

Note

If Logpoint does not have the signature-based normalization package used in the imported template, Log source automatically installs it.
