Fields	Description
Name	A label or name that is assigned to a listener.
Trigger	You may want to assign the servers to a custom Trigger if target server is in an Isolated network or if you want to setup a scalable infrastructure. You will only see available Triggers in this field.
Authentication Protocol	· TCP: Transmission Control Protocol is a connection-oriented protocol that provides reliable and ordered delivery of data, making it suitable for applications such as file transfers and web browsing. · UDP: User Datagram Protocol, on the other hand, is a connectionless protocol that offers low-latency, but lacks reliability mechanisms, making it suitable for real-time applications like video streaming and online gaming.
Log Interval	The interval for fetching data. · Realtime · 1 Minute · 3 Minutes · 5 Minutes
IP Address	The numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network is called an "IP address." An IP address is typically represented in the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XX, where each "XXX" is a number ranging from 0 to 255, and the "XX" is a similar two-digit number. IP addresses are used to uniquely identify and locate devices on a network.
Port Number	A specific endpoint for data exchange between two devices or applications within a network.
Forwarding Address	The forwarding address for syslog is the destination where syslog messages are sent for centralized logging. It can be an IP address or hostname of a server running syslog software or a syslog collector that aggregates log messages from multiple sources in a network.
Status	To choose a server status such as: · Active: Enables monitoring for server · Maintenance: Enables maintenance mode for server and disables all notifications · Reconnect: Restarts all collectors for server · Disabled: Disables monitoring for server
Debug	To choose debug such as: · Off · On: Collects debug logs for Inventory and Monitoring Collector
