Configuration​

Create a file for the configuration. This is a sample configuration showing the format:

  "smf-in-memory-resource": "",
  "timezones": {
    "default": "America/Chicago",
    "EG01": "America/Los_Angeles",
    "EG02": "America/New_York"
  },
  "interval": 5,
  "splunk-url": "https://splunk.example.com:8088",
  "splunk-auth": "",
  "max-post": 1048576,
  "compress": "yes",
  "zos": "yes",
  "jobs": "yes",
  "datasets": "yes",
  "files": "yes",
  "rmf": "yes",
  "tcpip": "yes"

See Configuration File Options for details.

The current configuration will be output every time EasySMF starts, so you can copy and modify as required.

You can create a credentials directory to keep the Splunk HEC authorization token and the z/OSMF credentials if required. See Credentials Directory for more information.
