Monitoring Gateway

The monitoring gateway subscribes to the monitoring stream and the logging stream. It captures monitoring data and log messages, and stores them in a database.

The monitoring gateway is an FTL service.

The gateway is a client of the FTL server. When you run the gateway service, ensure that the user is in the ftl authorization group. (See "FTL Server Authorization Groups" in TIBCO FTL Administration.)

Before starting the gateway, ensure that the FTL server and InfluxDB server are already running. For convenience, you can start the monitoring gateway using a utility script, which also starts the InfluxDB server and other monitoring components in the correct order. See Starting the Monitoring Components.

(The monitoring gateway stores the data in an InfluxDB database. You may develop your own gateway to capture the data and store it in a different database. )
