Limitations when using prefixes in paths

Required setting.

Delimiter

The character that marks the boundary between events. Available values:

Description

Number of handlers

Number of handlers that the service can run simultaneously to process response rules in parallel. To determine the number of handlers, you can use the following formula: (<number of CPUs> / 2) + 2.

Poll interval, sec

Interval at which the files are read from the directory containing events from the data diode. The default value is 2 seconds.

Character encoding

Compression

Using Snappy compression. Available values:

  • Disabled. The default value.
  • Use Snappy.

You must select the same value in the Snappy drop-down list in the settings of the connector and the destination being used to transmit events from the isolated network segment using a data diode.
