New feature or enhancement Description
Support of multiple GDI formats without subsearch limitations The Content Pack for Monitoring Unix and Linux is updated to support multiple GDI formats without subsearch limitations. It is using a macro-based approach, where you can easily switch between different formats of data ingestion:
  • Metrics Data: This is the recommended method, and customers using this format of data ingestion will be able to use the content pack without any modifications.
  • Events Data: This method is for customers who wants to ingest events data. To use the content pack with this format of data, update the macros as mentioned in the section Update the macros to use events data.
  • If you are a customer with different methods of data ingestion on different Unix hosts, update the macros as described in the section Update the macros to use the mixed mode of data.
