Introduction¶
Welcome to Insights Arbitrator, a powerful log analytics platform that allows multiple data sources and log formats to be consumed, extracted, analyzed, and correlated, for complete event, alarm and systems monitoring.
This guide describes how to use and administer the Arbitrator platform. You can use this guide for help with importing assets, importing scripts, configuring new correlation rules, searching logs, assigning scripts to assets to create probes, and for overall performance management of the systems monitored.
Note
This guide is aimed at system administrators and users responsible for configuring and monitoring the Correlation platform. Users should have a working knowledge of operating systems, software applications, and network elements.
The Arbitrator platform design allows it to be used in multiple workflows. While you won’t need to follow any particular linear flow, some elements must be configured in a specific order. Those will be pointed out in each section.
This guide covers the following:
Correlate - the main user interface, which allows you to visualize the monitored systems and to manage alerts for these systems. The views within this workspace are constantly updating with newly gathered data.
Configuration - this is the workspace used to install and set up the platform.
