CloudStorage (Input Agent Cron)

Introduction: Phase 1 and Configuration Cloud Providers.

(1) You have to select a channel of type Cloud Storage, where the provider-specific settings are specified.

(2) File name pattern. You can enter multiple file name patterns separated by the pipe (|) character (e.g. *.txt|*.csv).

(3) The files can be sorted for processing by filename or timestamp in descending or ascending order or as supplied by the operating system. Note: The accuracy of timestamps in Windows systems is in the minute range, in Unix/Linux systems in the seconds range.

(4) Specifies whether files that are older or younger than this information should be used. There will be no check for values 0/0 (like in the screenshot). This option only makes sense if you do not delete files and do not respond to file events. Example: The profile searches for new files every 30 minutes. If you now set 0 hours and 30 minutes as values, then files that have already been processed in a previous run will be ignored this time because their timestamp is older than the current time minus 30 minutes.

(5) The directory in which to search for files. See also system variable VAR_SYS_FILE_PATH. Under Windows, access to external shares is possible using the UNC syntax: //<server name>/<directory name>. Slashes (/) and no backslashes (\) are to be used. Several directories can be specified and processed. These directories must be separated by a semicolon (;). Example: /tmp/subdir1;/tmp/subdir2;/var

Within the file pattern (1) and the directory (4), all timestamp placeholders of the form <yyyy>, <dd> etc. are resolved. Variables can also be used, but only variables with the prefix MSG_CALL_ will be available in phase 1.

(6) If this checkbox is set, several instances of this profile can work in parallel. The checkbox Profile may only run in one instance must not be set for this profile.
