3. Event Collection Daemons

DaemonDescription
zensyslogCollects and classifies syslog events. Parses the raw format to find the level and facility, host name, and tag (the freeform message string of the event). Syslog events often have specific, proprietary formats used by vendors; zensyslog tries to parse these by using a series of regular expressions defined in it. Once parsing is complete, the event is sent back to the event system (through zenhub) to be integrated with the model.
zeneventlogCollects Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) event log events. Forwards these events to zenhub for further processing.
zentrapCollects SNMP traps, parses them, resolves OIDs into MIB names, and then forwards them to zenhub for further rules processing.
