Event collection via MID Server Configure connector instances to use script instructions that enable the MID Server to connect to external servers to obtain event information. Connector definitions are script instructions that enable the MID Server to connect to external servers to obtain event information. Use one connector instance for each type of event server that sends events via a MID Server. You can configure connector instances to use the default connector definitions for supported event sources. Alternatively, you can create a custom definition that lets the MID Server run a script for event collection. Table 1. Default connector definitions Connector definition Description HPOM Provides connectivity to HP Operations Manager. Hyperic Provides connectivity to VMware vRealize Hyperic servers. IBM Netcool Provides connectivity to an IBM Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServers and Impact Servers. SCOM Provides connectivity to Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM). SolarWinds Provides connectivity to SolarWinds Service & Application Monitor (SAM). SolarWinds NPM is supplied by default with Istanbul. If you are experiencing issues with SolarWinds NPM but cannot upgrade to Istanbul, contact Support. Ask to upload and activate the update set attached to PRB690140. vRealize Provides connectivity to VMware vRealize Operations. Connector instancesConnector instances use script instructions that enable the MID Server to connect to external servers to obtain event information. Each connector instance is specific to an event source vendor.Configure a default MID Server for connectorsYou can set a default MID Server for connectors, to ensure that there is always a MID Server available to receive external events.
