FileReader Section

The "FileReader" section provides configuration settings that enable you to specify the capture file reader to use.

"FileReader": {
   "CaptureDirectory": "<capture‑directory‑path>",
   "UndeliverableDirectory": "<undeliverable‑directory‑path>",
   "Delay": <delay‑in‑milliseconds>,
   "RunContinuously": <true‑or‑false>
}

The "FileReader" section parameters are listed in the following table.

Parameter Description
CaptureDirectory Directory path where capture files to be processed are located.
UndeliverableDirectory Directory path where capture files that failed processing will be copied. This does not have to be on the same file system as the CaptureDirectory.
MaxRetries Number of times to repeat a failed send to a Sender before giving up and copying the input file to the undeliverable directory.
Delay Time in milliseconds before the Event Producer checks the capture directory for more files.
RunContinuously Whether to continuously check for new files (true or false). If you select false, the Producer processes any files in the Capture Directory and then exits immediately.
