Filter events at the source

Post by dlukinski »

How to limit logs events sent by the source to the LOG server?
- is there way to send only Security logs or even event-type-based logs from the client to the LOG server?

Thank you

This depends on the type of source, but almost always the answer is yes.

Be aware that if you don't send it to NLS, NLS can't help you retroactively resolve problems.
