Downloading the Schema and Example Files

Before you create your custom metric family and vendor certification XML files, download and review the related schema XSD files and the example XML files. You need the schema to validate your own XML files. Reviewing the example files before creating your own helps ensure the accuracy of your XML content.

The schema files that are provided with Data Aggregator have detailed information about element types, occurrence, and allowed lengths. The files also contain annotations that provide more information, such as allowed characters and naming conventions.

Download the schema and example XML files by entering the following URLs in your web browser Address field. Hostname is the Data Aggregator host, and the default port is 8581.
