hi Alberto, if the input file has been provided to SEC with --input command line option, there is currently no way to close it. (It is only possible to increase the status polling time frame for input files with --check-timeout option, in order to reduce the system load if there is a large number of infrequently modified inputs.)
However, if the input file has been set up with 'addinput' action, it is possible to execute 'dropinput' action for this file which closes it and removes from the list of inputs. There are two ways how to potentially trigger the execution of 'dropinput' action. Firstly, one could use a context for closing the file, where context lifetime is extended on each event that appears in the input file, and 'dropinput' gets executed when the context expires. A slightly different context-based example has been provided in SEC FAQ, where a file is kept open for a specific date and closed when the day ends: http://simple-evcorr.github.io/FAQ.html#24 There is also another approach -- with --input-timeout=N and --timeout-script=S options, one can execute an external script S if no events have been observed in input file during the last N seconds. From that script, it is possible to write a message to control file or FIFO which is monitored by SEC, and have a rule which matches that message and executes 'dropinput' action. (The same control file could be utilized for other purposes, such as reloading configuration and log rotation: http://simple-evcorr.github.io/FAQ.html#26.) kind regards, risto Kontakt Alberto Corton Padilla (<acor...@s21sec.com>) kirjutas kuupäeval R, 4. oktoober 2019 kell 16:58: > Hi, > > Is there a way to close an input file if no new lines have been written > for a specified duration? > > Regards, > > > _______________________________________________ > Simple-evcorr-users mailing list > Simple-evcorr-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/simple-evcorr-users >
