To forward metric data after policy rules are applied, configure the metric forwarding rules.
Metric forwarding rules define what a Data Forwarding policy should do in response to specific metric data. Each rule consists of a condition and of settings for the data generated by the policy. The settings enable you to configure what data BSM Connector forwards to which target.
In the BSM Connector user interface, click in the toolbar. Then click Forwarding >
Data Forwarding.
Alternatively, double-click an existing policy to edit it.
Click Metric to open the policy Metric page.
The rule types are:
Forward on matched
If matched, BSM Connector forwards the metric data to the specified targets.
Discard on matched
If matched, BSM Connector discards the metric data.
Discard on unmatched
If not matched, BSM Connector discards the metric data.
Contrary to rules for other policies where processing stops when a rule is matched, all rules are processed for every data type. BSM Connector then compares the lists of targets to which the data should be sent to with the list of targets where data should be discarded. The final result is a list of targets where the data record should be sent to. This means that discard rules have a higher precedence.
In the Properties tab, enter a description for the rule.
In the Condition tab, click to add new conditions.
Select the pattern operator.
For a list of available operators, see
In the Operand field, type the value or pattern that you want the policy to compare with the property.
In the Targets tab, select one or more targets from the list of available targets. For the rule to affect all targets, you select the option Affect all targets.
Optionally, you can override the target configuration for individual or all targets by selecting the option Override Target Configuration. If you select this option, you can change the Wire Format and change the setting of the Use Guaranteed Delivery option.
