Runtime Resources

Similar to runtime properties, runtime resources are values that you define in an external filea file local to the Data Collector and call from within a . But with runtime resources, you can restrict the permissions for the files to secure information.

Use runtime resources to store common configuration properties for multiple , like URLs for external systems. Note that any user who can create a can access the data stored in the resource files.

Tip: Runtime resources can impact performance because Data Collector loads most runtime resource files for each batch. Consider using runtime parameters or runtime properties instead. Or, to more securely define sensitive values, use credential storescredential stores. For more information, see Credential Stores in the Data Collector documentation.
To implement runtime resources, perform the following steps:
  1. Define each runtime resource.
  2. Use an expression in the to call a runtime resource.
