Working with KHIKA Adapters
Introduction
Adapters are data collection programs (scripts or executables) run by the KHIKA data collection framework at a predefined polling interval on the configured Data Aggregators. An Adapter reads the data/log messages from a data source when they appear, parses them to useful tokens (KHIKA Data format), and then writes them back to standard output (stdout) in the KHIKA data format. To access Adapter tab, go to the main screen, click the left side menu bar. Click Configure and then click Adapter tab. The following screen is displayed.
