# Policy CSP - ADMX_EventForwarding

> [!TIP]
> This CSP contains ADMX-backed policies which require a special SyncML format to enable or disable. You must specify the data type in the SyncML as &lt;Format&gt;chr&lt;/Format&gt;. For details, see [Understanding ADMX-backed policies](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md).
>
> The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it.  For more information, see [CDATA Sections](http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-cdata-sect).

This policy setting controls resource usage for the forwarder (source computer) by controlling the events/per second sent to the Event Collector.

- If you enable this policy setting, you can control the volume of events sent to the Event Collector by the source computer. This may be required in high volume environments.

- If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, forwarder resource usage is not specified.

This setting applies across all subscriptions for the forwarder (source computer).

This policy setting allows you to configure the server address, refresh interval, and issuer certificate authority (CA) of a target Subscription Manager.

- If you enable this policy setting, you can configure the Source Computer to contact a specific FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) or IP Address and request subscription specifics.

Use the following syntax when using the HTTPS protocol:
Server=https://`<FQDN of the collector>`:5986/wsman/SubscriptionManager/WEC,Refresh=`<Refresh interval in seconds>`,IssuerCA=`<Thumb print of the client authentication certificate>`. When using the HTTP protocol, use port 5985.

- If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the Event Collector computer will not be specified.
