Manually Update the System Monitor Configuration File


We recommend manually updating the configuration file for UNIX/Linux OS agents only. Windows OS configuration changes should be made by using the LogRhythm System Monitor Local Configuration Manager.


  1. Open the scsm.ini file. The default UNIX/Linux file path is: /opt/logrhythm/scsm/config/scsm.ini.
    The table below lists the scsm.ini field names that are configurable for UNIX/Linux OS.

    Field Name

    Description

    Value Type

    Example Field Value

    ClientAddress

    The IP address of the machine with the System Monitor.

    If your deployment uses Network Address Translation (NAT), you must specify an address index for ClientAddress. Using an index instead of a static IP address ensures that communication with the Data Processor is not interrupted if the IP address of the System Monitor changes.


    IP Address

    IP address:
    10.4.0.73
    Address index:
    eth0 (for UNIX/Linux OS)

    Host

    The IP address of the machine with the Data Processor.

    IP Address

    IP address:
    10.2.3.75

    ServerPort

    The port used by the Data Processor.

    Integer

    443

    ClientPort

    The port used by the System Monitor.

    Integer

    0


  2. Adjust any other parameters to align with any changes to the default Data Processor settings.

  3. Save and close the file.
