Developing Sentinel Connectors
At this time the Sentinel API for Connectors is not published. If you need to gather data from a system for which a pre-existing Connector is not yet available, you have two options:
- Create a standalone application which gathers data from your event source using whatever method you choose, and generates events on standard out
- Invoke this external process with the standard Process Connector
- Create a Java library that gathers data from your event source and embed it in a JavaScript Collector
- Include your JAR files in the Collector itself and use Rhino to call the Java methods
- Refer to the Collectors plug-in development section for details on including external JARs in Collector plug-ins
Using one of these two methods will allow you to connect to a wide variety of event source systems.
