Configuration guidelines for Connector Appliance

1. For high-throughput SmartConnectors (i.e., Syslog, Windows Unified, Blue Coat, etc) install only one SmartConnector per Container.

2. Tune the polling interval to reduce the network traffic. This is especially true for slower links (i.e., remote sites connected via satellite link)

3. Newer Connector Appliance models have more memory and CPU, and thus are more stable.

4. Ensure that each Container's JVM heap is not maxed-out (checkagent.out.wrapper.log)

5. Check if on-board connectors are caching or generating queue files.

6. Check the process status (System Admin > Process Status).

7. Confirm that the appliance is configured with correct DNS server and hostname.

8. Check on possibility of multi-threading the connector transport, which facilitates greater event flow & less latency.

9. Lower the thread count if you want to run multiple high-throughput SmartConnectors in a single container.
