Generic JSON Collector

This feature is supported for 64-bit Windows System Monitor Agents running version 7.20.0 or later.

The 64-bit System Monitor Agent can begin consuming JSON data from third-party or custom collectors on ports 6044 (TCP) and 7044 (UDP) by default once the Enable JSON Parsing option is enabled in the System Monitor Basic Properties.

Any JSON data can be sent to the System Monitor from a third-party tool or custom collector, and you can create a custom policy file or create a custom log source for data classification and event generation.

When the System Monitor service starts with JSON parsing enabled, two new ports are set up to listen for generic JSON data: one for TCP and another for UDP. Users can enable, disable, or modify the port settings in the JSON Parser Group in the System Monitor Advanced Properties.
