5.4.8.1. Creating and Using a Custom Data Item XML File

Section 5.4.7, “Creating a New Rule: An Example” shows how to create a custom rule and Appendix F, Data Collection Items shows the data items that can be used in rule creation. However, in some circumstances you may want to create a rule that uses a custom data collection item.

This section describes how to create a custom data collection item. The steps are as follows:

  1. Create an XML file to define how the data is collected.

  2. Point the agent configuration file to this XML file.

  3. Restart the agent.
