[Deprecated] Symantec VIP

>**NOTE:** This data connector depends on a parser based on a Kusto Function to work as expected which is deployed as part of the solution. To view the function code in Log Analytics, open Log Analytics/Microsoft Sentinel Logs blade, click Functions and search for the alias Symantec VIP and load the function code or click [here](https://github.com/Azure/Azure-Sentinel/blob/master/Solutions/Symantec%20VIP/Parsers/SymantecVIP.yaml), on the second line of the query, enter the hostname(s) of your Symantec VIP device(s) and any other unique identifiers for the logstream. The function usually takes 10-15 minutes to activate after solution installation/update.

1. Install and onboard the agent for Linux

Typically, you should install the agent on a different computer from the one on which the logs are generated. > Syslog logs are collected only from **Linux** agents.

Choose where to install the agent:

Install agent on Azure Linux Virtual Machine

Select the machine to install the agent on and then click **Connect**.

Install agent on a non-Azure Linux Machine

Download the agent on the relevant machine and follow the instructions.

2. Configure the logs to be collected

Configure the facilities you want to collect and their severities. 1. Under workspace advanced settings **Configuration**, select **Data** and then **Syslog**. 2. Select **Apply below configuration to my machines** and select the facilities and severities. 3. Click **Save**.

3. Configure and connect the Symantec VIP

[Follow these instructions](https://aka.ms/sentinel-symantecvip-configurationsteps) to configure the Symantec VIP Enterprise Gateway to forward syslog. Use the IP address or hostname for the Linux device with the Linux agent installed as the Destination IP address.
