   note

   Sometimes this button says Add Integration.

4. In the Set Up Collection section of your respective app, select Create a new Collector.
   1. Collector Name. Enter a Name to display the Source in the Sumo Logic web application. The description is optional.
   2. Timezone. Set the default time zone when it is not extracted from the log timestamp. Time zone settings on Sources override a Collector time zone setting.
   3. (Optional) Metadata. Click the +Add Metadata link to add a custom log Metadata Fields. Define the fields you want to associate, each metadata field needs a name (key) and value.
      • A green circle with a checkmark is shown when the field exists and is enabled in the Fields table schema.
      • An orange triangle with an exclamation point is shown when the field doesn't exist, or is disabled in the Fields table schema. In this case, you'll see an option to automatically add or enable the nonexistent fields to the Fields table schema. If a field is sent to Sumo Logic but isn’t present or enabled in the schema, it’s ignored and marked as Dropped.
   4. Click Next.
5. Configure the source as specified in the Info box above, ensuring all required fields are included.
6. In the Configure section of your respective app, complete the following fields.
   1. Field Name. If you already have collectors and sources set up, select the configured metadata field name (eg _sourcecategory) or specify other custom metadata (eg: _collector) along with its metadata Field Value.
7. Click Next. You will be redirected to the Preview & Done section.

Post-installation

Once your app is installed, it will appear in your Installed Apps folder, and dashboard panels will start to fill automatically.

Each panel slowly fills with data matching the time range query received since the panel was created. Results will not immediately be available but will be updated with full graphs and charts over time.
