Inputs

Inputs define the data sources the Edge Delta agent should connect to.

An input tells the Edge Delta agent:

  • Data types to listen for
  • Data locations
  • Data configurations
  • Data tags

Each input allows you to create a label, which is used to map the input to a specific monitoring rule, workflow or streaming and archiving destination.

See the instructions for configuring an agent.

The document explains how to define an input; however, an input is not active until the input is added to a workflow. To learn how to create a workflow, see Workflows.

To learn how to enrich data from inputs, see Enrich Input Data.
