Record Transformations

The Record Transformations properties allow you to transform any log message before it is sent to the Management Server. This could be used to add extra information or to remove sensitive information from a log record.

Record Transformations: A list of record transformations that the agents must use in conjunction with the match patterns to convert any log messages. When no transformation is specified, the log record is transmitted to the Management Server without changes.
RegEx Record Transformation Pattern: A regular expression that the agent uses to look for specific text in the collected log record.
Record Transformation: The replacement text that the agent uses in the log record to be transmitted to the Management Server.

Data Collection Scheduler

The Datacenter Collection Scheduler agent properties specify the data frequency settings the agent uses to read monitored log files.

Collector Config: A list containing the data collectors the agent uses. Each entry in the list includes the following columns:
Collector Name: The name of the collector the agent uses to gather data.
Default Collection Interval: The number of milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, or days during which the agent collects data.
Time Unit: The time unit associated with the Default Collection Interval.
Fast-Mode Collection Interval: The number of milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, or days during which the agent collects data when working in the fast collection mode.
Fast-Mode Time Unit: The time unit associated with the Fast-Mode Collection Interval.
Fast-Mode Max Count: The maximum number of the times the agent can stay in fast collection mode.

FileLogMonitor configuration example

This example provides the configuration settings for monitoring the FglAM log files on a UNIX® system for WARN and ERROR records. The FglAM log files are located in the /home/user/FglAM/state/default/logs folder. FglAM log records have a date at the beginning of each record that look like this:

This format can be set as the regular expression for the record separator.

This example only shows one scan, but the scan can be performed multiple times at regular intervals since more records can be added to the log files over time.

Configuring Windows Event Log Monitor agent properties

The Windows Event Log Monitor Agent collects information from Windows Event Log files. This agent expands the functionality of the Windows Agent, also included with Foglight for Infrastructure. However, while the Windows Agent can collect information only from Windows Logs and those Application and Service Logs that are accessible through WMI or WinRM, the Windows Event Log Monitor Agent can monitor both Windows Logs and any Application and Service Logs, including the Microsoft Application and Services Logs, available on some newer Microsoft Windows versions.

For more information about the Windows Agent, see the Managing Infrastructure User and Reference Guide.

This agent includes the following groups of agent properties:

For a configuration example, see WindowsEventLogMonitor configuration example.
