Appliances

To onboard an appliance that is specifically supported by Axoflow, complete the following steps. Onboarding allows you to collect metrics about the host, and display the host on the Topology page.

1. Open the Axoflow Console.

2. Select Topology.

3. Select + > Source.

   

4. If the appliance is already sending logs to an AxoRouter instance that is registered in the Axoflow Console, select Detected, then select the appliance.

   Otherwise, select the type of the appliance you want to onboard, and follow the on-screen instructions.

   

5. Connect the appliance to the destination or AxoRouter instance it’s sending logs to.

   1. Select Topology > + > Path.
   2. Set the appliance as the Source host.
   3. Set the destination or the AxoRouter instance as Target host.

6. Configure the appliance to send logs to an AxoRouter instance. Specific instructions regarding individual vendors are listed below, along with default metadata (labels) and specific metadata for Splunk.
