Configure data collection
Set up the collection and forwarding rules that tell the Axoflow agent for Windows what to collect and where to send it.
To configure the agent to collect data from the edge host and send it to an AxoRouter instance, you must have:
- a Collection rule with an Edge Selector that matches this host, and
- a data forwarding rule with an Edge Selector that matches this host.
The edge selectors of these rules are high-level policies that use dynamic host labels to determine which edge hosts match the rule.
To configure data collection on the edge host, complete the following steps.
- Create a new Collection rule (select Sources > Collection Rules > Add Rule), or add the host to an existing rule.
- Create a new Data Forwarding rule (select Sources > Forwarding Rules > Add Rule), or add the host to an existing rule.
