About Event Sources
Event Sources covers the various methods for collecting events from external monitoring tools, including pull connectors, push listeners, and direct ingestion via email, SNMP, or web services.
Why This Matters for Your Exam
Knowing which connectors are available and how to configure event sources is fundamental to Event Management implementation. The exam tests your knowledge of specific connector capabilities, supported versions, and push vs pull methods.
Key Concepts to Master
Event Management provides numerous pull connectors (SCOM, Nagios, vCenter, IBM Netcool, etc.) that poll external tools, and push connectors/listeners that receive events sent directly to the instance. Events can also arrive via email server, script, SNMP trap, or web service API. All connectors support external credential storage. The Operational Intelligence plugin (com.snc.sa.metric) is required for Azure Metrics and AWS CloudWatch Metrics connectors.
