Using the transport module

The transport module enables the probe to acquire XML and JSON formatted events.

Before using the transport module, configure the transport properties file appropriate to the transport protocol you are using to transfer events. The probe supports the use of Java™ Message Service (JMS), Webhook, Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT), Web Socket, and data files.

The transport properties files are located in the following directory:

$OMNIHOME/java/conf/

After installation, the probe defaults to using the JMS properties file (jmsTransport.properties) located in $OMNIHOME/java/conf. To change this setting, specify a new transport type and transport properties by changing the values set for the following properties:

TransportType
TransportFile

The following table lists the properties file associated with each available protocol:
