Detecting File Processing Latency

File-reading FlexConnectors have internal events that are sent when the connector begins to process a file and when the connector finishes processing the file. Another event can be configured so that the event is sent when a specified number of files are not processed in a specified amount of time. The events are configured in ARCSIGHT_HOME/user/agent/agent.properties.

• internalevent.filestart.enable=true/false - the default is true.

• internalevent.fileend.enable=true/false - the default is true.

• internalevent.filecount.enable=false/true - the default is false. This event has the following parameters:

  • internalevent.filecount.duration=nnn - specifies the number of seconds that the connector has to process a specified number of files.

  • internalevent.filecount.minfilecount=nnn - specifies the minimum number of files that the connector should process in a specified number of seconds.

  • internalevent.filecount.timer.delay=nnn - specifies, in seconds, how often the connector should check to see if the connector is compliant with the other parameters.
