In WindView 2.0, the upload mode and the upload path are separately configurable and separately tunable to make optimal use of target memory and the communication bandwidth.

Configuring the upload mode allows you to specify whether data is uploaded when you request it, automatically during event collection, or after an application failure. This allows you to balance the amount of data you expect to collect with the amount of intrusion caused by data upload.

In addition to these alternative upload modes, the upload path can be specified in a variety of configurations. The default path is through the target server, like other Tornado tools. This is done using a new feature called TSFS (see the VxWorks Programmer's Guide: Local File Systems). TSFS can be used to send data to the WindView view graph for immediate analysis, to a file, or to the evtRecv tool. If network facilities are included on the target, data can be sent directly to the host using a TCP/IP socket or NFS can be used to write data directly to a file. Additional target resources and additional configuration effort are required for the TCP/IP and NFS paths, or to configure another destination, such as evtRecv, for either a TSFS or a TCP/IP socket.
