If your business has decided to use Ironstream Hub to extract MIMIX status data for consolidation by other applications such as Splunk, you may have additional journals and MXSTSJRN journal definitions created for your MIMIX environment. The Status for extraction policy controls whether MIMIX status is collected in a format for extraction, the systems in the instance where the collection occurs, and the frequency of collection. When the policy is enabled and activated by ending and starting collector services on the system where collection is to occur, MIMIX creates the necessary journal and journaling journal reciever on the systems specified in the policy.
