Collection Configurations
Modifying change and usage regex patterns is an advanced process. Incorrectly editing any regex match patterns could negatively impact syslog messages. Please contact FireMon Support for assistance.
If a user has not been granted permissions to Plugins, then the user will not have access to Collection Configurations.
You have the ability to alter the usage regex, change regex and capture groups for a device pack, overriding the default values for all devices associated. And also for a single device, overriding the default values and device pack overrides.
You are able to:
- View device pack collection configuration as long as they belong in a user group that has read permissions to plugins.
- Edit or delete the device pack collection configuration as long as they belong in a user group that has write permissions to plugins.
- View the device collection configuration as long as they belong in a user group that has read permissions to the Device Group the device is assigned to.
- Edit or delete the device collection configuration as long as they belong in a user group that has write permissions to Device Group the device is assigned to.
