Live File Processor Agent

A processor (e.g., HOBO, In-Situ-5, Lorentz) watches a folder, detects file changes in that folder, and adds the file data into the database. The processor settings specify/include:

•Which folder to watch.

•Where in the file (or file name) to get the logger (e.g., DT_LOGGER.LOGGER_CODE) and series (e.g., DT_LOGGER_SERIES.SERIES_NAME, UNIT, FUNCTION) info.

•Which column(s) contains the dates and times.

Note: A processor is active (used) if it has a folderWatcherPath that is not NULL or empty, and its status is not Disabled.

Setting	Type	Description
status	String	Set a processor's status to Disabled to disable it, or set the Default status to Disabled to disable all of the processors for a (CONFIG_SECTION and) CONFIG_KEY. Note: If the status of all of the processors is Disabled, then the agent will not start.

Setting

Type

Description

status

String

Set a processor's status to Disabled to disable it, or set the Default status to Disabled to disable all of the processors for a (CONFIG_SECTION and) CONFIG_KEY.

Note: If the status of all of the processors is Disabled, then the agent will not start.

The agent supports the following (incomplete list of) generic processors/file types:

•AreaRAE (gas detection monitor)

•Diver (data loggers)

•E-BAM (Met One Instruments E-BAM)

•EnviroSys

•Ewon

•Geokon (model 4500 standard piezometer)

•HOBO (HOBO TidbiT data loggers)

•Horiba (U-50 series multiparameter water quality meter)

•In-Situ-4, In-Situ-5 (Win-Situ versions 4 and 5, VuSitu, and Tube 300R Telemetry System)

•Landtec

•LoggerDatum (LoggerCode, SeriesName, DatumUtcDate, DatumValue, and DatumQualifier columns)

•Lorentz (solar powered pumps)

•Lufft (WS600-UMB Smart Weather Sensor)

•QED (QED MP20 flow cell)

•RST-1, RST-2 (RST Instruments DT2011, DT2011B, and DT2055 vibrating wire single and multi channel loggers)

•Seametrics

•Sensemetrics

•Solinst (Barologger and Levelogger); limited functionality, see notes in Solinst example.

•TOA5

Note: The Campbell Scientific LoggerNet Agent can also be used to load data from Campbell Scientific LoggerNet logger ('TOA5') files. It has some additional functionality (e.g., it adds DT_EQUIPMENT rows) and can watch individual files, in addition to folders.

•YSI-6 (6-series), YSI-EXO, YSI-ProPlus

Notes:

•Additional processors can be added, if the available file settings can be used to read their files. Please contact EarthSoft Support for help.

•Each processor uses system resources to watch a folder. Thus, only add needed processors, to conserve system resources.
