Once the data source is configured, you can either send us the required information if you want us to host and manage the collector for you (Cloud collector), or deploy and host the collector in your own machine using a Docker image (On-premise collector).

This data collector can be run in any machine that has the Docker service available because it should be executed as a docker container. The following sections explain how to prepare all the required setup for having the data collector running.

Structure

The following directory structure should be created for being used when running the collector:

<any_directory> └── devo-collectors/ └── <product_name>/ ├── certs/ │ ├── chain.crt │ ├── <your_domain>.key │ └── <your_domain>.crt

On-premise collector
Code Block
Cloud collector

We use a piece of software called Collector Server to host and manage all our available collectors. If you want us to host this collector for you, get in touch with us and we will guide you through the configuration.

To enable the collector for a customer:

  1. In the Collector Server GUI, access the domain in which you want this instance to be created

  2. Click Add Collector and find the one you wish to add.

  3. In the Version field, select the latest value.

  4. In the Collector Name field, set the value you prefer (this name must be unique inside the same Collector Server domain).

  5. In the sending method select Direct Send. Direct Send configuration is optional for collectors that create Table events, but mandatory for those that create Lookups.

  6. In the Parameters section, establish the Collector Parameters as follows below:

Devo credentials

In Devo, go to Administration → Credentials → X.509 Certificates, download the Certificate, Private key and Chain CA and save them in <product_name>/certs/. Learn more about security credentials in Devo here.

--rm 
--interactive 
--tty 
<image_name>:<version>
Note

Replace <product_name>, <image_name> and <version> with the proper values.

Docker Compose

The following Docker Compose file can be used to execute the Docker container. It must be created in the <any_directory>/devo-collectors/<product_name>/ directory.
