A file system collector reads the contents of files configured in a LogPoint. It is only applied to the localhost device to monitor the log files.
The file system collector collects all the internal logs generated in each LogPoint. It captures all the records from collectors, web servers, mergers, normalizers, and the applications used in LogPoint.
Go to Configure >> Built-in Collectors/Fetchers >> File System Collectors.
Select the LogPoint instances where you want to configure the file system collector.
Click Next.
