EMC VMWare log source parameters for VMware ESX or ESXi

If QRadar does not automatically detect the log source, add an EMC VMWare log source on the QRadar Console by using the EMC VMWare protocol.

When using the EMC VMWare protocol, there are specific parameters that you must use.

The following table describes the parameters that require specific values to collect EMC VMWare events from VMware ESX or ESXi:

Table 1. EMC VMWare protocol log source parameters for the EMC VMWare DSM
Parameter	Description
Log Source Name (Optional)	Type a name for your log source.
Log Source Type	EMC VMWare
Protocol Configuration	EMC VMWare
Log Source Identifier	Type the IP address or host name for the log source. This value must match the value that is configured in the ESX IP field.
VMware IP	Type the IP address of the VMware ESX or ESXi server. The VMware protocol prepends the IP address of your VMware ESX or ESXi server with HTTPS before the protocol requests event data.
User Name	Type the user name that is required to access the VMware server.
Password	Type the password that is required to access the VMware server.
