Collector Domain

Using the Collector Domain feature, users can provide custom identification for different domains throughout their environment, when used in conjunction with TIBCO LogLogic® Universal Collector.

Having this capability allows for unique identification of distinct log sources that use duplicate IP addresses across multiple domains within the same organization. For example, a large organization with multiple satellite locations may re-use the 192.168.0.0/16 IP range throughout its environment. Without the Collector Domain identification introduced by the LogLogic® Universal Collector, the log sources sharing the same IP would all be logged under one combined log source in LogLogic® LMI.

Users can configure a ULDP collector to support a domain identifier from a UC agent. Log data can be sent from different domains that share the same IP addresses. On the LogLogic LMI these are listed as separate devices. LogLogic LMI supports both devices added on a UC and devices added on the LogLogic LMI. If a device is auto-discovered that has a Collector Domain, the domain ID is prefixed to the device name.

Auto-discovery supports the naming convention domain ID_IP address_device type, for example: 1_10.5.20.1_pix

If during auto-discovery a device has the same name as an existing device a random number is appended to the source IP for the newly discovered device.

To add a device through the LogLogic LMI with a Collector Domain ID follow the steps in Adding or Modifying Devices.
