File System

File System

Configuration

Type

Resource type. In this case it would be file_system.

Configuration

  • root_directory: Provide the absolute path of the directory to scan.

Fields

List of available fields to add with resource add metadata. During scanning resources, scanner will only fetch data from the following fields.

  • machineHost
  • rootDirectory

Schedule

🔗 Check schedule format.

Example

source:
file_system_source_one:
type: file_system
configuration:
root_directory: "/file/path"
fields:
- machineHost
- rootDirectory
schedule: "@every 24h"

In the above example, we have added a source named file_system_source_one with type file_system. We have added some fields to add with each resource. We have also set the schedule to run this source every 24 hours.

Based on the above example, scanner_name would be file_system_source_one and scanner_type would be file_system. This is important to filter resources in Grafana dashboard.
