Introduction

Tags beginning with vdi.vmware identify events generated by VMWare Horizon View.

Valid tags and data tables

The full tag must have 4 levels. The first two are fixed as vdi.vmware. The third and fourth levels identify the type of events sent.

These are the valid tags and corresponding data tables that will receive the parsers' data:

Product / Service	Tags	Data tables

Product / Service	Tags	Data tables
VMware Horizon	`vdi.vmware.horizon`	`vdi.vmware.horizon`
	`vdi.vmware.horizon.agent`	`vdi.vmware.horizon.agent`
	`vdi.vmware.horizon.console`	`vdi.vmware.horizon.console`
	`vdi.vmware.horizon.connection_server`	`vdi.vmware.horizon.connection_server`

For more information, read more About Devo tags.

How is the data sent to Devo?

Define the following relay rules for each tag:

vdi.vmware.horizon.agent

Source port	Customer source port, for example `13021`
Source data	`EventType=\"AGENT_`
Target tag	`vdi.vmware.horizon.agent`
Sent without syslog tag	✓
Stop processing	✓

vdi.vmware.horizon.console

Source port	Customer source port, for example `13021`
Source data	`EventType=\"AGENT_`
Target tag	`vdi.vmware.horizon.agent`
Sent without syslog tag	✓
Stop processing	✓

vdi.vmware.horizon.connection_server

Source port	Customer source port, for example `13021`
Source data	`EventType=\"BROKER_`
Target tag	`vdi.vmware.horizon.connection_server`
Sent without syslog tag	✓
Stop processing	✓
