How to setup a Gateway
Before you can push machine data into Mingo you must setup a record for each gateway. You can setup a heart beat and notifications for when a gateway goes off line.
To add or edit a gateway go to Administration -> Gateways (the little edit pen on the right) -> Add Recipients to the Heartbeat Alert.
