IBM i Target File Properties

In the target subdirectory of the Configuration Directory you will find text files that describe how data is to be sent to your targets. These are named with GUIDs, so you will need to open each one to locate the target of your choice which you will see in the Name: property, for example:

{ "Name": "example_data_flow_to_splunk",
 "Id": "C2345678-123B-1234-1234-1230756789012",
"FileConfiguration": {
 "Path": "C:\\log",
 "FileNamePrefix": "is4i.splunk.",
 "FileNameSuffix": ".log",
 "RollWhenTooBig": true,
 "RollSizeMB": 15,
 "RollWhenTooOld": true,
 "RollHour": 0,
 "HousekeepUsingQuantity": true,
 "MaxBackupIndex": 99
 },
 "ConnectorType": "File" 
}

The properties here include the destination directory for log files and how they should be named and managed, such as by deleting the old files or rolling them to new names when they exceed a given size.

See File Target section for details of these properties and how they interact with each other.
