Configuring entity and transaction statistics collection

To set up the MDM statistics collection feature, you must configure the application server and the data collection facilities for your InfoSphere® MDM system.

Before you begin

Before you can configure the MDM statistics collection feature, you must install and start:

Apache Kafka server
Apache Zookeeper

For more information, see the Apache Kafka documentation.

Important: If you install InfoSphere MDM 11.6.0.11 or above, Kafka is installed as part of the InfoSphere MDM installation.

After installation, you can enable InfoSphere MDM 11.6.0.11 to support more recently released versions of Kafka than the one included in the base InfoSphere MDM installation. To enable support for Kafka 2.6, 2.7, or 2.8, complete some important configuration changes. For more information, see Configuring InfoSphere MDM to support Apache Kafka 2.6, 2.7, or 2.8.
