When you install IBM® Operations Analytics - Log Analysis, you can also choose to install the IBM Tivoli® Monitoring Log File Agent that is delivered with the product.
After you install the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Log File Agent, you need to configure it. If you choose not to install the internal IBM Tivoli Monitoring Log File Agent, for example if you have an existing installation that you want to use instead, you still need to configure the integration with IBM Operations Analytics - Log Analysis. For more information, see IBM Tivoli Monitoring Log File Agent configuration scenarios.
