Configuring receipt of zVirt events

You can configure the receipt of zVirt 3.1 events in KUMA.

Configuring event receiving consists of the following steps:

1. Configuring export of zVirt events to KUMA.
2. Creating a KUMA collector for receiving zVirt events.

   To receive zVirt events, in the Collector Installation Wizard, at the Event parsing step, select the [OOTB] OrionSoft zVirt syslog normalizer, and at the Transport step, select the tcp or udp connector type.

3. Installing KUMA collector for receiving zVirt events
4. Verifying receipt of zVirt events in the KUMA collector

   You can verify that the zVirt event source server is correctly configured in the Searching for related events section of the KUMA Console.

Configuring export of zVirt events

ZVirt can send events to external systems in Hosted Engine installation mode.

To configure the export of zVirt events to KUMA:

1. In the zVirt web interface, under Resources, select Virtual machines.
2. Select the machine that is running the HostedEngine virtual machine and click Edit.
3. In the Edit virtual machine window, go to the Logging section.
4. Select the Determine Syslog server address check box.
5. In the text box, enter the collector information in the following format: <IP address or FQDN of the KUMA collector>: <port of the KUMA collector>.
6. If you want to use TCP instead of UDP for sending logs, select the Use TCP connection check box.

Event export is configured.
