# Configuring data inputs for Health Log Analytics manually

Configure the data input process manually in Health Log Analytics. Data input configuration is an essential step in setting up the Health Log Analytics application.

**Note:** You're encouraged to integrate available data inputs from the Integrations Launchpad instead of configuring them manually. This tool provides a unified interface for convenient integration with connectors that feed raw log messages from external sources into your instance for processing and analysis. For more information, see [Set up integrations for Health Log Analytics from the Integrations Launchpad](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-operations-management/health-log-analytics/hla-data-input-setup-integrations.md).
