Monitoring of Custom Logs
Steps : 1) Install Unix logs agent on the host machine where you want to monitor the custom logs.
2) Get the logs and map the same using Kulmapper utility

Using kulmapper utility:
Kulmaaper is a binary file that can be used to map the different fields of a log into ITM standard format. Kulmapper binary is located in Candlehome/bin directory. By default it uses the sample mapping file kulmapper.samp located in Candlehome/config directory. To map a custom log file take a backup of the kulmapper.samp file and enter the format command in the first line and the log file entry in the second line, after that execute the kulmapper binary.
