ALTER Command (ZCOM-CMD-ALTER)
For a detailed description of these command and response tokens, see Common
Definitions for ZCOM- Commands on page 17-5.
ZEMS-MAP-CONTROL-DIST Definitions
Use this Data Definition Language (DDL) structure when configuring an EMS
distributor attribute with the ZCOM-CMD-ALTER command.
ZEMS-MAP-CONTROL-DIST
is an extensible structured token that controls these distributor attributes:
ZDIST-GMTTIME (timestamp field)
positions the distributor at a new place in the event-message source. The
distributor examines event messages that have a generation time that is the
same as (or later than) ZEMS-TKN-GMTTIME. A value of -1 requests that
event messages be returned as the collector logs them. For more information,
see Positioning Within Event-Message Sources on page 17-22. GMTIME is the
time of the event’s origin.
ZDIST-LOGTIME (timestamp field)
positions the distributor at a new place in the event-message source. The
distributor examines only messages that were written to the log at or after the
logging time given by ZEMS-TKN-LOGTIME. For more information, see
Positioning Within Event-Message Sources
on page 17-22. Logtime is the time
when the event is written to the log; events in the log file are sorted by logtime.
ZDIST-DELAY-PRESENT (Boolean field)
must be set to true if the EOF delay is allowed in ZDIST-EOFDELAY.
ZDIST-EOFDELAY (int field)
is the time the distributor delays after end of file (EOF) before rereading the
log.
