This task describes how to collect event data from structured log files.
Prerequisite: Make sure the following applies:
Your BSM Connector is configured to work with OMi by using the bsmc-conf

For details, see Configuring Event Defaults in Structured Log File Policies.
In the Rules page, define what the policy should do in response to a specific type of event.
For details, see Configuring Event Rules in Structured Log File Policies.
In the Options page, configure several policy behaviors (for example, pattern matching options).
