The paths specified in the Data diode source directory and Temporary directory fields may not be the same.

Temporary directory

Path to the directory in which events are prepared for transmission to the data diode. The maximum length of the path is 255 Unicode characters.

Events are stored in a file when a timeout or a buffer overflow occurs. The default timeout is 10 seconds. The prepared file with events is moved to the directory specified in the Data diode source directory field. The checksum (SHA-256) of the file contents is used as the name of the file with events.

Buffer size

Buffer size in bytes for accumulating events in the RAM of the server before sending sending them for further processing or storage. The value must be a positive integer. Default buffer size: 1,048,576 bytes (1 MB). Maximum buffer size: 67,108,864 bytes (64 MB).

Buffer flush interval

Interval (in seconds) for sending events to the destination. The default value is 1 second.

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.

Compression

Drop-down list for configuring Snappy compression:

  • Disabled. This value is selected by default.
  • Use Snappy.

Delimiter

The character that marks the boundary between events:

  • \n
  • \t
  • \0

If you do not select a value in this drop-down list, \n is selected by default.

Debug

Ths switch enables resource logging. This toggle switch is turned off by default.

Filter

Filter for determining which events must be processed by the resource. You can select an existing filter or create a new filter. To create a new filter, select Create new.

If you want to edit the settings of an existing filter, click the pencil edit-pencil icon next to it.
