File Input Source Properties

File Input Source Properties

When you create a File Input source, you enter the name and the configuration details for the source through the RulePoint user interface.
The following table describes the configuration properties of a File Input source:
Property
Description
Name
Name of the source. The source name must be unique.
Description
Optional. The description of the service. Make the description intuitive so that other users can relate to the use of this service.
Type
Type of source. Select
File Input Source
.
Topic
The topic to which the RulePoint posts the events. Select the topic name that corresponds to the source.
Pathname
The path to a file that the service monitors. This path must be absolute.
Mode
The mode to get the contents of the file. Choose from the following options:
  • new. Get the new contents since the last change.
  • all. Get the entire file every time the file changes.
The default mode is new.
Marker ID
Optional. The name to assign to the marker. This is the batch name that the sever associates with all published events. Avoid using multiple batch names as the system treats them as a single string. Specify one batch name for each source.
When you configure a marker ID in the source, it demarcates a set of events between the marker_begin and the marker_end event. For more information, see "Markers" in the
RulePoint Administration Guide
.
Property Metadata Map
Optional. The unique name-value pairs of static metadata or additional information about this service that becomes part of the event properties.
Do not use a null value for any property. Do not include space in the name of the metadata property. The name-value pairs appear in every event published by this source service.
Format for Property Metadata:
Name=Jane Doe, Age=10
If you input an entry that contains a delimiter, such as a comma or a semicolon, you must place the entry into a quote. Putting a numeric entry into quotes makes it a string or non numeric. You cannot do math computation with a non numeric entry.
Marshaller Class Name
Class name of the marshaller. The marshaller class is responsible for converting or enriching the source event properties. It must include the full class name including the classpath. You must add the jar containing this class into the RulePoint library.
Marshaller Properties
Properties of the marshaller. You must pass the properties as key value pairs, separated by a comma, to the marshaller class. For example, property1=value1,property2=value2.
