Windows-based operating system, the default port is 5529. On Unix systems, the default
port is usually 0 (zero), which is the standard port for portmapper. The TEC server
registers itself with portmapper, which then listens for incoming Tivoli socket requests,
redirecting the requests to the appropriate Tivoli service.
Event Buffer File:
This is where events are saved to disk if the TEC server can't be contacted. Once the
server can be contacted, if this file is non-empty, then all events saved in the file are
flushed to the server before sending the "current" event.
