Associating Parsers to a Device

You can attach a set of parsers to a device in CMDB. This overrides the default parser selection mechanism based on the Event Format Recognizer. When a device with a list of attached parsers sends a log, the specified parsers are attempted first.

  1. Go to CMDB tab.
  2. From the left panel, select the device(s) under Devices folder.
  3. Click Edit and select the Parser tab.
  4. Select the parsers from the Available Parsers list and move to the Selected Parsers list using the right arrow.
    You can use the up and down arrows to re-arrange the order of the parsers. Note that the parsers will be attempted in the order.
  5. Click Save to confirm the parser selection.
    The selected parsers are now associated to the device.
