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.

Invalid Imports

If you create a Log Source with an imported template consisting of a custom normalization package, the package is automatically created in your Logpoint. In the case of name conflict, the suffix “_1” is added to the custom package.

In the case of vendor normalization packages, if your Logpoint has the same or a newer version of the vendor normalization package, the new version is automatically selected. If your Logpoint has the older version or does not have the required package, you must download and install the latest package from the Service Desk.

Deleting Log Source Template

  1. Go to Settings >> Log Sources from the navigation bar and click Browse Log Source Templates.

  2. Click the (more) icon for the Log Source and click Delete Template.
