Configuring the Configuration Tool
The Z Common Data Provider Configuration Tool is a web-based user interface. You use the tool to specify what data you want to collect from your z/OS® system and where you want that data to be sent. This configuration information is contained in a policy.
About this task
The Configuration Tool helps you create and manage policies for streaming operational data to its destination. The data gatherers need this policy information to know what data to collect. Data Streamer needs this policy information to know what to do with the data that it receives from the data gatherers (such as the System Data Engine, the Log Forwarder, or the Data Collector).
