After a successful collector’s execution (that is, no error logs found), you will see the following log message:

2023-12-26T09:05:46.495    INFO InputProcess::ProofPointPuller(proofpoint_tap,123456,messagesBlocked,predefined) -> (Partial) Statistics for this pull cycle (@devo_pulling_id=1703561736946):Number of requests made: 4; Number of events received: 1; Number of duplicated events filtered out: 0; Number of events generated and sent: 1; Average of events per second: 0.105.

The value @devo_pulling_id is injected in each event to group all events ingested by the same pull action. You can use it to get the exact events downloaded in that Pull action in Devo’s search window.

 Restart the persistence

This collector uses persistent storage to download events in an orderly fashion and avoid duplicates. In case you want to re-ingest historical data or recreate the persistence, you can restart the persistence of this collector by following these steps:

  1. Edit the configuration file.

  2. Change the value of the start_time_in_utc_format parameter to a different one.

  3. Save the changes.

  4. Restart the collector.

The collector will detect this change and will restart the persistence using the parameters of the configuration file or the default configuration in case it has not been provided.

Note that this action clears the persistence and cannot be recovered in any way. Resetting persistence could result in duplicate or lost events.

 Troubleshooting

This collector has different security layers that detect both an invalid configuration and abnormal operation. This table will help you detect and resolve the most common errors.

After a successful collector’s execution (that is, no error logs found), you will see the following log message:

2023-12-22T10:28:58.153    INFO InputProcess::ProofPointPuller(proofpoint_tap,123456,clicksBlocked,predefined) -> (Partial) Statistics for this pull cycle (@devo_pulling_id=1703220842731):Number of requests made: 164; Number of events received: 14; Number of duplicated events filtered out: 0; Number of events generated and sent: 14; Average of events per second: 0.047.

The value @devo_pulling_id is injected in each event to group all events ingested by the same pull action. You can use it to get the exact events downloaded in that Pull action in Devo’s search window.

 Restart the persistence

This collector uses persistent storage to download events in an orderly fashion and avoid duplicates. In case you want to re-ingest historical data or recreate the persistence, you can restart the persistence of this collector by following these steps:

  1. Edit the configuration file.

  2. Change the value of the start_time_in_utc_format parameter to a different one.

  3. Save the changes.

  4. Restart the collector.

The collector will detect this change and will restart the persistence using the parameters of the configuration file or the default configuration in case it has not been provided.

Note that this action clears the persistence and cannot be recovered in any way. Resetting persistence could result in duplicate or lost events.

 Troubleshooting

This collector has different security layers that detect both an invalid configuration and abnormal operation. This table will help you detect and resolve the most common errors.

After a successful collector’s execution (that is, no error logs found), you will see the following log message:

2023-12-26T08:57:42.836    INFO InputProcess::ProofPointPuller(proofpoint_tap,123456,clicksBlocked,predefined) -> (Partial) Statistics for this pull cycle (@devo_pulling_id=1703561242970):Number of requests made: 6; Number of events received: 0; Number of duplicated events filtered out: 0; Number of events generated and sent: 0; Average of events per second: 0.000.

The value @devo_pulling_id is injected in each event to group all events ingested by the same pull action. You can use it to get the exact events downloaded in that Pull action in Devo’s search window.

 Restart the persistence

This collector uses persistent storage to download events in an orderly fashion and avoid duplicates. In case you want to re-ingest historical data or recreate the persistence, you can restart the persistence of this collector by following these steps:

  1. Edit the configuration file.

  2. Change the value of the start_time_in_utc_format parameter to a different one.

  3. Save the changes.

  4. Restart the collector.

The collector will detect this change and will restart the persistence using the parameters of the configuration file or the default configuration in case it has not been provided.

Note that this action clears the persistence and cannot be recovered in any way. Resetting persistence could result in duplicate or lost events.

 Troubleshooting

This collector has different security layers that detect both an invalid configuration and abnormal operation. This table will help you detect and resolve the most common errors.

Initialization

The initialization module is in charge of setup and running the input (pulling logic) and output (delivering logic) services and validating the given configuration.

A successful run has the following output messages for the initializer module:

Events delivery and Devo ingestion

The event delivery module is in charge of receiving the events from the internal queues where all events are injected by the pullers and delivering them using the selected compatible delivery method.

A successful run has the following output messages for the initializer module:

2023-12-26T09:20:01.210    INFO OutputProcess::DevoSenderManagerMonitor(internal_senders,devo_us_1) -> Number of available senders: 1, sender manager internal queue size: 0

By default, these information traces will be displayed every 10 minutes.

Sender services

The Integrations Factory Collector SDK has 3 different senders services depending on the event type to delivery (internal, standard, and lookup). This collector uses the following Sender Services:

Sender services

Description

internal_senders

In charge of delivering internal metrics to Devo such as logging traces or metrics.

standard_senders

In charge of delivering pulled events to Devo.

Sender statistics

Each service displays its own performance statistics that allow checking how many events have been delivered to Devo by type:

Logging trace

Description

Number of available senders: 1

Displays the number of concurrent senders available for the given Sender Service.

sender manager internal queue size: 0

Displays the items available in the internal sender queue.

This value helps detect bottlenecks and needs to increase the performance of data delivery to Devo. This last can be made by increasing the concurrent senders.

Total number of messages sent: 44, messages sent since "2023-11-10 10:39:22.511671+00:00": 21 (elapsed 0.007 seconds)

Displayes the number of events from the last time and following the given example, the following conclusions can be obtained:

  • 44 events were sent to Devo since the collector started.

  • The last checkpoint timestamp was 2022-06-28 10:39:22.511671+00:00.

  • 21 events where sent to Devo between the last UTC checkpoint and now.

  • Those 21 events required 0.007 seconds to be delivered.

By default these traces will be shown every 10 minutes.

 Check memory usage

To check the memory usage of this collector, look for the following log records in the collector which are displayed every 5 minutes by default, always after running the memory-free process.

  • The used memory is displayed by running processes and the sum of both values will give the total used memory for the collector.

  • The global pressure of the available memory is displayed in the global value.

  • All metrics (Global, RSS, VMS) include the value before freeing and after previous -> after freeing memory

2023-12-26T08:57:18.978    INFO InputProcess::MainThread -> [GC] global: 28.6% -> 28.7%, process: RSS(40.04MiB -> 40.04MiB), VMS(421.98MiB -> 421.98MiB)
2023-12-26T08:57:18.979    INFO OutputProcess::MainThread -> [GC] global: 28.6% -> 28.7%, process: RSS(40.52MiB -> 41.39MiB), VMS(926.00MiB -> 926.00MiB)

Differences between RSS and VMS memory usage:

  • RSS is the Resident Set Size, which is the actual physical memory the process is using

  • VMS is the Virtual Memory Size which is the virtual memory that process is using
