Remote XpoLog/PortX

To get data from remote XpoLog/PortX forwarders, configure an XPLG Listener account:

1. Go to Manager > left panel Data > Listen to Data. The Listeners management console opens.
2. Add XpoLog account, for each account the following should be configured:
1. Name: the name of the Listener account
2. Description: the description of the Listener account
3. Listening Node: the node in the cluster which will listen to the messages received from remote XpoLog instances/agents (appears only if a XpoLog cluster is deployed)
4. Token: a unique token that is identified with this listener and must be included in the used URL when forwarding data to this account - the token ensures only permitted devices send data and also tags the sent data to the desired XpoLog listener in XpoLog
    
5. Advanced Settings:
   
   General Information:
   Enabled: determine whether this account is enabled or not
   
   Dynamic Log Creation Configuration:
   Parent Folder: the parent folder which all logs from this listener will be place under in XpoLog Folders and Logs tree
   Collection Policy: the collection policy which will be associated to all logs from this listener (used mainly for storage location and data retention)
   
   Listener Data:
   Listener Data Location: the location which data will be stored to, by default XpoLog stores it in its data directory
   Indexing Node: the node in the cluster which will index the received Syslog messages (appears only if a XpoLog cluster is deployed)
   Indexing Interval: the frequency in which received Syslog  messages are indexed
   
   
3. Save the account.
4. Data received to the XpoLog listener account will be created under the configured parent folder and will be available for searching, reporting and alerting
