    Before you begin

    Role required: evt_mgmt_admin

    About this task

    You can set system parameters for reading log data that determine the actions that the system performs on log data arriving on the MID Server. For example, you can set the time zone to use if a log lacks a timestamp. If no advanced settings are configured, the system uses the default values.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > Health Log Analytics > Data Input > Data Inputs.
    2. Open a MID Server data input record from the Data Inputs table.
      The data input configuration displays.
      Note:
      The number of log sources that the data input has created is shown in the Sources count field. For more information about data input sources, see Log data auto-mapping and mapping in Health Log Analytics.
      Note:
      If the HLA engine is down and data has stopped streaming, a notification appears at the top of the data input configuration page. When this happens, contact ServiceNow support.
    3. Select Advanced.
    4. On the form, fill in the fields.
      For a description of the fields, see MID Server data input configuration fields.
    5. Optional: In the Streaming Sources related list, verify that this data input is streaming log data from all relevant endpoint devices.
      For more information about streaming sources, see Identify and resolve a log streaming issue in Health Log Analytics.
    6. Select Update.

    Result

    Health Log Analytics updates the system parameters.
