FileWatchPulblisher Agent¶
Introduction¶
FileWatchPublisher agent watches files for changes and publishes those changes per line on the corresponding topics. Files and topics should be provided in the configuration.
Configuration¶
A simple configuration for FileWatchPublisher with two files to monitor is as follows:
[
{
"file": "/var/log/syslog",
"topic": "platform/syslog"
},
{
"file": "/home/volttron/tempfile.txt",
"topic": "temp/filepublisher"
}
]
Using this example configuration, FileWatchPublisher will watch syslog and tempFile.txt files and publish the changes per line on their respective topics.
