Syslog LEEF events that are forwarded by Raz-Lee iSecurity are automatically discovered by the JSA DSM for IBM AS/400 iSeries. In most cases, the log source is automatically created in JSA after a few events are detected.

If the event rate is low, you can manually configure a log source for Raz-Lee iSecurity in JSA. Until the log source is automatically discovered and identified, the event type displays as Unknown on the Log Activity tab.
