Sample: configuring a single Perl collector

The following example seeds a single Perl collector running on the local server. The example does not specify values for other fields, such as m_DataSourceId and m_NumRetries, and they automatically take the default values from the configuration table.

insert into collectorFinder.collectorRules
        ( m_Port)
values
        ( 8082 );

Sample: configuring a single Java collector

The following example seeds a single Java collector running on the local server.

V4.2 Fix Pack 17:From Fix Pack 17 onwards, you must define the m_HelperType value as Java for Java collectors. For previous Fix Packs, the m_HelperType is not available, and you configure Java collectors using the format given here for Perl collectors.

insert into collectorFinder.collectorRules
        ( m_Port, m_HelperType)
values
        ( 8082,
   “Java” 
  );
