Configuring the Monitor Role
The Monitor role is used to dedicate the SonicWALL UMA
EM5000 to monitoring appliances and applications in a multi-
server SonicWALL GMS deployment. The monitoring is based
on ICMP probes, TCP probes, and SNMP OID retrievals.
Only the SonicWALL Universal Management Suite Monitoring
Manager service runs on a Monitor system.
To deploy your SonicWALL UMA EM5000 in the Monitor role,
perform the following steps in the appliance management
interface:
1. Navigate to the Deployment > Role page. Under Host
Role Configuration, select the Monitor radio button.
2. To include the MySQL database on this system, select the
Include Database (MYSQL) checkbox. To use a MySQL or
Microsoft SQL Server database on another system, do not
select this checkbox.
3. Configure the database settings as described in the
Configuring Database Settings section, on page 36.
4. Configure the Web port settings as described in the
Configuring Web Port Settings section, on page 38.
5. To apply your changes, click Update.
To change the settings on this page back to the defaults,
click Reset.
Configuring the Syslog Collector Role
The Syslog Collector role can be assigned to a SonicWALL
UMA EM5000 in a multi-server deployment of SonicWALL
GMS. In this role, the SonicWALL UMA EM5000 is dedicated to
collecting syslog messages on the configured port (by default,
port 514). The syslog messages are stored in the SonicWALL
UMA EM5000 file system.
The syslog messages are used by the Reports Summarizer
service running on another SonicWALL GMS server or
SonicWALL UMA EM5000 in the distributed deployment. The
folder where the Syslog Collector service stores the syslog
messages must be accessible by the server running the
Reports Summarizer service.
Only the SonicWALL Universal Management Suite Syslog
Collector service runs on a Syslog Collector system.
