NOTE: If no event source is started during the debug session, then no data is available in the
buffer for the Collector and you see the Collector script's readData method blocking.
In Live debug mode, Output from the script is via live Sentinel events. The events can be
viewed on the Active Views displays.
NOTE: When in Live debug mode, the script engine is executed on the local box rather than
the actual box that the associated Collector Manager is running on. The Connectors/event
sources still run on the same box as the Collector Manager. When running debug mode, data is
automatically routed from the event sources to the script engine running in debug mode on the
local box.
9.5.4 Using the Raw Data Tap to Generate a Flat File
When debugging, it might occasionally be helpful to view Connector output data. In addition to
viewing raw data from the Connector by using the Raw Data Tap right-click option for nodes in the
Sentinel Control Center, Sentinel also includes an option to save the raw data from a Connector to a
file for further analysis.
To save raw data from a deployed Connector to a file:
1 Right-click the Connector node and select Edit. The Edit Connector dialog box displays.
2 Select Save Raw Data to a file.
3 Specify a path on the Collector Manager machine where the raw data is saved.
4 Click OK.
