Log sources for WinCollect agents

A WinCollect agent can collect and forward events from the local system, or remotely poll a number of Windows-based log sources and operating systems for their events.

You can add log sources that communicate through a WinCollect agent individually for remote polling. If the log sources contain similar configurations, you can simultaneously add multiple, or bulk add log sources. A change to an individually added log source updates only the individual log source. A change that you make to a group of log sources updates all of the log sources in the log source group.

You can add a local log source for local collection. You can create a log source manually, if it wasn't autocreated.

Important: If your deployment has the same user name accounts on different domains, ensure that you configure domain information when you create the WinCollect log source.
