Field Name
Definition
Mode (Local Destination)
circular or linear. In circular mode, data is written into the
specified local data file until the upper limit on the file size is
reached; then the data is overwritten starting from the top of
the file as additional data comes in. Circular buffering requires
the administrator to set up processes to examine the data
during the timeframe before the data is overwritten by new
data.
File Size (Bytes) (Local
Destination)
The maximum file size for the data buffer file. The file size
must be greater than zero.
NFS File Path (Remote
Destination)
The path for the mount point of the directory where data
buffer file is to be stored.
Note: The NFS server must already be configured with the
mount point shared (exported), and the shared directory from
the NFS server must be mounted on the CS.
