Destination type, tcp.

URL

Description

Compression

You can use Snappy compression. By default, compression is disabled.

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.

TLS mode

TLS encryption mode using certificates in pem x509 format. Available values:

  • Disabled means TLS encryption is not used. The default value.
  • Enabled means encryption is used, but certificates are not verified.
  • With verification means encryption is used with verification that the certificate was signed with the KUMA root certificate. The root certificate and key of KUMA are created automatically during program installation and are stored on the KUMA Core server in the folder /opt/kaspersky/kuma/core/certificates/.

When using TLS, it is impossible to specify an IP address as a URL.

Delimiter

In the drop-down list, you can select the character to mark the boundary between events. By default, \n is used.

Buffer flush interval

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

Workers

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.

Debug

A drop-down list in which you can specify whether resource logging must be enabled. The default value is Disabled.

Disk buffer disabled

Drop-down list 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.

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.
