Appendix: Collector Configuration
We introduced stat collectors section earlier in this document in Stack Probe: Metrics Aggregation using Stat Collectors .
We introduced message collectors earlier in this document in Stack Probe: Message Publishing using Message Collectors .
In this appendix, we list the most common collectors that are used in VMX-Capture configuration, and provide details of where to find more information about them.

summary_dumper | Stats | Outputs aggregators as JSON or as TCP. Useful for diagnostics or as standalone configuration. | n/a |

capture | Message | As per the summary_dumper, except rather than producing stats this one writes the message decoder as JSON or output format. | n/a |
json_tcp | Stats | CDF-T stats (JSON format) | Core Data Feed Guide |
kafka | Stats | CDF-T stats (publish via Kafka) | Core Data Feed Guide |
msg_influxdb | Message | CDF-M messages (write directly to timeseries DB) | Core Data Feed Guide |
msg_json_tcp | Message | CDF-M messages (JSON format) | Core Data Feed Guide |
