SUMMARY
This article describes how to configure Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) to monitor and collect UNIX syslog messages.



MORE INFORMATION
To configure MOM to monitor and collect syslog messages from UNIX-based computers, first configure MOM to process the syslog messages, and then configure the UNIX-based computers to forward the syslog messages to a computer where a MOM agent has been installed. The agent can then create events for these messages.

The following steps summarize the procedure for configuring MOM and the applicable UNIX-based computers:  Configure MOM to process syslog messages:  Create a syslog provider. Create a Computer Group for the computers that are to receive syslog messages. Create a Processing Rule Group and the necessary processing rules to process the syslog messages.  Configure each UNIX-based computer to forward syslog messages to a computer that is in the syslog Computer Group.</ol>

For more detailed information about configuring MOM to collect UNIX syslog information, refer to pages 77 to 79 in the MOM Installation Guide.
