Hello People

Im new on this forum and using SSIM

I have my SSIM Server running and licensed. But I need to know and understand the configuration and steps for doing this.

We want to collect all the Windows events on our servers.

1. A - Do I need to install the agent and collector on all my servers? Or Just the agent?

1. B - If Yes, what collector do I need to install? Universal Event Collector for Windows? 

 

2. We need to create a sensor for all those servers to collect all the events?

 

3. Anyone have the best practice documentation for implementing SSIM?

 

Any help are welcome. Thanks

Use

Use "Microsoft_Windows_Event_Collector_4.3.30_AllWin_EN"

Software Download URL: https://fileconnect.symantec.com
You will need a Serial Number related to your product for access.

sorry, but I use translate.google.ru

Hello Ya4ept But It's

Hello Ya4ept

But It's necessary to instal the Symantec Event Agent 4.7 for Windows and the Universal Collector for Windows on the server?

Or just create a sensor for this server from the Microsoft_Windows_Event_Collector Product Configuration?

I use the following Symantec Products: Veritas Netbackup 7.1 On Windows Server 2003 SP2 Symantec EndPoint 12.1.100.157 RU1 On Windows Server 2003 SP2

Plz do not go for Universal

Plz do not go for Universal Collector, unless & untill it's critical for you.

If you are not able to receive perticular events into SSIM, then only you should use Universal collector.

All types of collectors are available for all products.

1. A - Do I need to install

1. A - Do I need to install the agent and collector on all my servers? Or Just the agent?

Not neccessary, you can either install Agent & collector on each box.

OR you can configure one of your server to fetch the logs remotely from other serves & can install the agent & collector on the box.

 

1. B - If Yes, what collector do I need to install? Universal Event Collector for Windows?  

For windows 2003>> windows Event collector

For windows 2008>> Msvista event collector.

 

2. We need to create a sensor for all those servers to collect all the events?

For all the ONBOX installation, you can have only one sensor setting.

For OFFBOX installtion, you need to create diff. sensors for diff. remote servers.

 

Where can I find the Symantec Security Information Manager (SSIM) Guides:

http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH89519

Hi,   I think your going in

Hi,

 

I think your going in the wrong path.

If you ar trying to integrate Windows server 2008 then you should use msvista collector.

try refering the msvista collector integration guide for more details on configuring sensors & all.

 

For more details, if you face any issues you can refer following articles if your are using domain account for integration.

Troubleshooting for Windows 2008 R2 Event collection using Windows Vista Event Collector :

You should be able to

You should be able to download it from fileconnect.

You will need a serial number for SSIM of course.

If you are not sure about your serial number you should contact customer care or support.

You won't get it anywhere

You won't get it anywhere other then fileconnect.

Just wait for some hours & then again try downloading the same.

You  are getting that message because you have already exceeded your download limit set for your account in fileconnect.
