In order to forward events from multiple computers to a single collector, which component needs to be included in the configuration?

To forward events from multiple computers to a single collector, including Event Subscription Settings in the configuration is essential. This component allows you to define how events are gathered from different source computers and then sent to the collector. By setting up subscriptions, you can specify which types of events you want to collect, the source computers involved, and any additional filtering criteria.

This capability is critical in centralized event management, as it enables administrators to aggregate logs from various systems into a single location for easier monitoring, analysis, and compliance requirements. The Event Subscription Settings establish the framework for communication and event flow between the event sources and the collector.

Other components, such as Event Forwarding Rules, Event Viewer Configuration, and Group Policy Objects, play significant roles in the broader context but do not directly handle the actual subscriptions that manage event forwarding from multiple sources to a central point.
