Getting started with OMEGAMON Data Provider
After installing OMEGAMON® Data Provider, you need to configure and then start its components.
About this task
OMEGAMON Data Provider can receive data from multiple sources and send data in multiple formats to multiple destinations.
While the procedures for getting started are similar for all combinations, configuration details can differ depending on the input data source, output format, and destination. The procedures presented here provide details for the following configuration:
| Data source | Data format | Destination |
|---|---|---|
| OMEGAMON monitoring agents | JSON Lines | An analytics platform, such as the Elastic Stack, that is configured to ingest JSON Lines over TCP |
For details on configuring other data sources, see the separate documentation for each data source.
For comprehensive details on configuring each component of OMEGAMON Data Provider, see Configuration.
These procedures configure each OMEGAMON Data Provider component, and then, when all the components have been configured, start the components.
Results
These procedures configure and start OMEGAMON Data Provider on one z/OS® instance (LPAR).
To use OMEGAMON Data Provider to send data from other LPARs, you need to configure and start OMEGAMON Data Provider on each LPAR. You don't necessarily need to configure and start an instance of OMEGAMON Data Connect for each LPAR. That topology depends on your specific requirements.
