Configuration

« Downloading

The PDL Client is configured by an INI format configuration file in the current working directory called config.ini. The location of this file may be specified on the command line using the --configFile=CONFIG_FILE flag, where CONFIG_FILE is the path to the new configuration file to be used.

The Wikipedia INI file page documents the general INI file format. This link directs to a non-government web page.

Global Configuration Properties

There are several top-level configuration properties to being the configuration file. These include:

loglevel
Controls log verbosity
Default: INFO
Available values, in order of increasing verbosity:
  • SEVERE
  • WARNING
  • INFO
  • CONFIG
  • FINE
  • FINER
  • FINEST
logTimestamps
Boolean whether or not to include timestamps of each log line
Default: false
Available values:
  • true
  • false
logdirectory
The directory where logs are located. If a relative path, it is relative to the PDL Client current working directory.
Default: log
logFile
The log file naming convention.
Default: yyyyMMdd.log
redirectconsole
Whether or not console output should be redirected.
Default: false
Available values:
  • true
  • false
mainclass
The main class to run once initial bootstrapping is complete.
Default: gov.usgs.earthquake.distribution.ProductClient

When using the ProductClient (i.e., the default mainclass), there are three additional top-level configuration parameters:

receivers
A comma-separated list of named receivers to use when receiving products. Each value in the list should be the name of a configuration sub-section within the configuration file.
See: receiving for more information on receiving products.
listeners
A comma-separated list of named listeners to use to process products. Each value in the list should be the name of a configuration sub-section within the configuration file.
See: listeners for more information on listening for (processing) products.
senders
A comma-separated list of named senders to use when sending products. Each value in the list should be the name of a configuration sub-section within the configuration file.
See: sending for more information on sending products.

A single configuration file may be used for both sending and receiving products. When receiving products, each configured listener is notified about each received product.

Each named sub-section within the configuration file represents a configurable object. These configurable objects each have the following set of configurable properties in addition to their class-specific configuration properties.

type
Determines the type of object to be instantiated
This should be a fully-qualified reference to a Java class - using dot notation - found on the Java class path.
