Store and Forward

After MonitorWare Agent collects and filters data, actions determine what happens next.

Common destinations

MonitorWare Agent commonly uses these actions:

• Write to File for local archival or troubleshooting

• Database logging for structured storage and later analysis

• Forward Syslog for downstream syslog infrastructure

• Forward SETP for reliable transfer to Adiscon systems

• Mail or Start Program for alerting and operational response

Choosing the first destination

For first-time setup, writing to a file is usually the easiest verification path. For production deployments, forwarding or database storage is often more useful.

If reliable delivery across temporary outages matters, configure disk-backed queues where the action supports them.
