This input agent retrieves files from a cloud storage. You configure the connection to the provider in a channel of type Cloud Storage.
Settings
① Channel selection: Select a channel of type Cloud Storage. You specify the provider-specific settings in this channel.
② File pattern: File name pattern. You can enter multiple file name patterns, separated by the pipe character (|). Example: *.txt|*.csv.
③ Sort files by: You sort the files for processing by file name or timestamp, either in ascending or descending order. Alternatively, the system uses the order supplied by the operating system. NOTE: When sorting by timestamp, the accuracy is in the minute range under Windows and in the second range under Unix and Linux.
④ Exceptions: The fields No files older than and No files younger than define which files the profile uses. For the values 0/0, the system does not check. This option is only useful if the profile does not delete files. Example: The profile searches for new files every 30 minutes. If you set 0 hours and 30 minutes, the profile ignores all files from the previous run on the next run. Their timestamp is older than the time of the run minus 30 minutes.
⑤ Directory: The directory in which the profile searches for files. NOTE: Within the file pattern and the directory, the system resolves all timestamp placeholders of the form <yyyy>, <dd>, and so on. Variables are allowed. In phase 1, however, only variables with the prefix MSG_CALL_ are available.
⑥ Activate parallel processing: 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.
⑦ Via DMZ: If this checkbox is set, the system receives the data via the DMZ server. NOTE: If no DMZ server is configured, the system does not display this checkbox.
