This input agent reads the input data from a remote computer over WebDAV. In principle, it works like the File input agent. In addition, it encrypts the login on the target system and the data transfer.
Settings
① Channel selection, Certificate selection: Select a channel of type HTTP here. Optionally, also select a certificate.
② Directory: Directory that the system appends to the URL. You cannot specify multiple directories. The system resolves all timestamp components such as <yyyy> or <dd>.
③ File pattern: Pattern that defines which files the profile accepts in the target directory. You cannot specify multiple file patterns here.
④ File handling: The system handles the file it has read in one of the following ways.
Delete | The system deletes the file it has read. |
Do not delete | The system keeps the file. Remove the file yourself in that case. Otherwise, the profile reads it again on the next run. |
Rename | The system renames the file. You specify the new file name in the associated field. Use the following placeholders to refer to the name of the processed file:

⑤ 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.
CAUTION: If deleting or renaming the file fails, no job starts. This happens, for example, when a file with the same name already exists. If Cron job is considered an error if no data is found is set for the input agent, this leads to an error. That also applies when a file is waiting to be processed. The same applies when the file exceeds a configurable size.
