Datasinks

 

The datasink component is responsible for storing and/or processing the measured ARM data. From the instrumented applications point of view all different datasinks are the same. This generic datasink interface is used to collect all ARM data and the specific incarnation of the datasink tells how the ARM data is handled. There are three different kinds of datasinks:

1. Permanent storage datasinks such as specific database data sink (e.g. MySQL) (See section storage datasinks).
2. Data processing datasinks such as the trigger datasink (See section processing datasinks).
3. Transport datasinks for speed up data storing/processing such as used with the myarmtcpd ARM data collector (see section transport datasinks for details).
