ARM Appender Overview

The ARM appender is a standard SAS logging facility appender, which is configured and customized for accessing performance data. The primary role of the ARM appender is to capture ARM transaction events, process the events, route the events to an output destination, and emit ARM 4.0 compatible events.
Key features of the ARM appender are:
  • supports ARM 2.0 and ARM 4.0 standards
  • supports default transaction correlation
  • converts SAS 9.1 and earlier ARM transaction events into SAS logging facility events
  • is controlled by the SAS logging facility configuration, pattern layouts, and output methods
The ARM appender can be defined in the SAS logging facility configuration file. The output destination can be a file appender, an external agent, or an internal SAS appender. You can also use the SAS logging facility in SAS programs.
