Setting

Description

Buffer size

Sets the size of the buffer.

The default value is 1 KB, and the maximum value is 64 MB.

Timeout

The time (in seconds) to wait for a response from another service or component.

The default value is 30.

Disk buffer size limit

Size of the disk buffer in bytes.

The default value is 10 GB.

Buffer flush interval

Time (in seconds) between sending batches of data to the destination. The default value is 1 second.

Handlers

This field is used to set the number of services processing the queue. By default, this value is equal to the number of vCPUs of the KUMA Core server.

Output format

Format for sending events to an external destination. Available values:

  • JSON

Proxy server

Drop-down list for selecting a proxy server.

URL selection policy

From the drop-down list, you can select the method of deciding which URL to send events to if multiple URLs are specified. Available values:

  • Any. Events are sent to one of the available URLs as long as this URL receives events. If the connection is broken (for example, the receiving node is disconnected) a different URL will be selected as the events destination.
  • Prefer first. Events are sent to the first URL in the list of added addresses. If it becomes unavailable, events are sent to the next available node in sequence. When the first URL becomes available again, events start to be sent to it again.
  • Balanced means that packages with events are evenly distributed among the available URLs from the list. Because packets are sent either on a destination buffer overflow or on the flush timer, this URL selection policy does not guarantee an equal distribution of events to destinations.

Disk buffer disabled

Toggle switch that lets you enable or disable the disk buffer. By default, the disk buffer is enabled.

The disk buffer is used if the collector cannot send normalized events to the destination. The amount of allocated disk space is limited by the value of the Disk buffer size limit setting.

If the disk space allocated for the disk buffer is exhausted, events are rotated as follows: new events replace the oldest events written to the buffer.

Debug

This toggle switch lets you specify whether resource logging must be enabled. The default value is Disabled.

Filter

In this section, you can specify the criteria for identifying events that must be processed by the resource. You can select an existing filter from the drop-down list or create a new filter.
