Managing Connections

Scenarios

Connectors are the basic concepts of Logstash configuration. They are classified into input and output connectors, which correspond to source and destination connectors, respectively. They define the data sending and receiving modes and specifications for Logstash. For details about how to add a connection configuration, see Adding a Connection.

SecMaster supports batch import and export of connections to improve the maintenance efficiency of connection management and reduce operation configurations.

This section describes how to perform the following operations: Viewing Connections, Deleting a Data Connection, Importing Connections, and Exporting Connections.

Limitations and Constraints

• A maximum of 100 connection records can be imported at once.
