Configure advanced settings for data inputs that are used for collecting and
streaming MID Server log messages.

## Before you begin

Role required: evt_mgmt_admin

## About this task

You can set system parameters for reading log data that determine the actions that
the system performs on log data arriving on the MID Server. For
example, you can set the time zone to use if a log lacks a timestamp. If no advanced
settings are configured, the system uses the default values.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllHealth Log AnalyticsData InputData Inputs.
2. Open a MID Server data input record from the Data Inputs table.  
   The data input configuration displays.  
   Note:  
   The number of log sources that the data input has created is shown in the Sources count field. For more information about data input sources, see [Log data auto-mapping and mapping](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/mf0bznHQxZJFB0M_~kSg~A "By default, the Health Log Analytics AI engine tries to auto-map every incoming log line to the correct tags. You can change automatic mapping results manually by defining a JavaScript function.").  
   Note:  
   If the HLA engine is down and data has stopped streaming, a notification appears at the top of the data input configuration page. When this happens, contact ServiceNow support.
3. Select Advanced.
4. On the form, fill in the fields.  
   For a description of the fields, see [MID Server data input configuration fields](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/5ezMyKy2zImC_kWQ9A7pQg "Description of the fields on the MID Server data input configuration form.").
5. **Optional:** In the Streaming Sources related list, verify that this data input is streaming log data from all relevant endpoint devices.  
   For more information about streaming sources, see [Identify and resolve log streaming issues](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/xKLHpaqO7y8J5FCQaVbyMw "Identify and address log streaming issues to ensure that the data inputs you have configured for Health Log Analytics are streaming data properly to your ServiceNow instance.").
6. Select Update.

## Result

Health Log Analytics updates the system parameters.
