Set the compression strategy from Guardian or CMC

Setting a compression strategy lets you compress traffic that the Remote Collector generates.

Possible values are:
  • 'raw': (default) sends traffic without compression. This strategy saves central processing unit (CPU) time if the traffic is hard to compress
  • 'zstd' sends traffic compressed with the zstd algorithm
  • 'zraw' sends raw traffic compressed with the zstd algorithm, thus achieving greater efficiency
