Collectors gather, process, and forward raw logs to the Enginsight SIEM.

General collectors include event relays, which collect syslog data, and log file collectors, which collect raw data from specific log files on selected hosts.

Under **SIEM** → **General Collectors**, you can configure event relays and log file collectors as data collectors for the Enginsight SIEM.
