The target configuration panel has two tabs: General and File Management. The General tab contains important information required to configure the target. The File Management tab can be treated as an advance setting for the target configuration.

  1. Click anywhere in the ‘File – Untitled Target’ box to configure the Target.
  2. Complete these fields for the General tab in the bottom panel of the canvas:
    Field Description
    Target name Name of the target. Character limit is from 1 to 50.
    Description Short description about the target. This will be visible on the canvas. Character limit is 200.
    Path Location where the data log files are written.
    File identifier Output file name.
    File extension Suffix to the file name. Default suffix is log.
    Note: Target name, Path, File identifier, and File extension are required fields. If you leave one of the required fields blank, text on the bottom panel identifies this and the icon against the target box on the canvas remains orange. You must complete the required fields to turn the icon to a green ‘check’ against the target.
    Note: The file name generated by the Hub is path + hostname + file identifier + datetime + file extension. The total length of the generated name must not exceed 260 characters for a Windows system or 4096 for a Linux system.
