Ironstream Hub |
Hub |
Software for creating an environment which transfers data from the Ironstream agents running on IBM Z or IBM i systems to specific targets. It runs on either Windows or Linux. |
|
Ironstream Hub Portal |
Hub Portal | The web browser-based user interface where Ironstream data pipelines are configured. |
|
Ironstream® Agent for IBM i |
IBM i Agent |
Software on an IBM i LPAR that generates messages that can be received by Hub. |
|
Ironstream® Agent for IBM Z |
IBM Z Agent |
Software in an IBM z/OS LPAR that generates messages that can be received by Hub. |
|
Ironstream® for IBM i Configuration Tool
|
Configuration Tool |
A web browser-based user interface that provides a single location for defining the connection and collection details for IBM i Agents. Note: IBM Z Agents are not configured using this tool. Those settings are defined in the LPAR itself. See the Ironstream for Splunk for IBM Z Configuration and User Guide for details on how define what data is sent to Hub from an IBM Z LPAR.

|
Hub Service |
Hub Service |
The Service that is created, as part of the installation process, to run Hub. |
|
Record |
– |
A Record is a single set of data in a Hub Pipeline. Records can be in raw, JSON, CSV or other formats. Events and messages can be called Records. |
|
Pipeline |
– |
Pipelines define how data moves from a Source through Processes to Data Targets. |
|
Source |
– |
A Source is the origin of the data or records that are being collected. Sources are currently limited to IBM Z and IBM i systems running Ironstream agents. A pipeline will always start with a Source. |
|
Target |
– |
A Target is the ultimate destination for the data, and it is the end point of a Pipeline. Example Targets include Kafka, Google Chronicle, and IBM QRadar. More generic Targets like TCP/IP and HTTP[S] allow data to be forwarded to other platforms such as Splunk, DataDog, and Big Panda. |
|
Process |
– |
A Process is a function to process data. Processes can extract, filter, transform, aggregate, and filter data. |
|
Routing |
– |
Routing refers to the method Hub uses to join a Source, an arbitrary number of Processes and an arbitrary number of targets into one or more Pipelines. |
