LOG FORWARDER properties: Defining your Log Forwarder intervals

In the Z Common Data Provider Configuration Tool, after you define a data stream for z/OS® log data (which is gathered by the Log Forwarder), use the LOG FORWARDER button to set the configuration values for your Log Forwarder.

To define your global Log Forwarder configuration values, complete the following steps:

1. In the Global Properties section of the Policy Profile Edit window, click LOG FORWARDER.
2. In the Configure Log Forwarder properties window, update the configuration values, and click OK.

   Discovery Interval

   In the process of streaming data, the number of minutes that the Log Forwarder waits before it checks for a new log file in the data stream. This value applies to all data streams from the Log Forwarder, although it can be overridden on some individual streams.

   The value must be an integer in the range 0 - 1440. A value of 0 specifies that the Log Forwarder only checks for a new log file once when the data gatherer is started. The default value is 1.

   Pattern Discovery Interval

   In the process of streaming data, the number of minutes that the Log Forwarder waits before it checks for new data sources that match wildcard specifications. This value applies to all job log data streams from the Log Forwarder.

   The value must be an integer in the range 0 - 1440. The default value is 1.
