This receiver type is deprecated.

This receiver starts an embedded EIDS Client to receive product notification via the Earthquake Information Distribution System (EIDS). In addition to the standard receiver properties, this type of receiver accepts the following specific properties:

alternateServers

A comma-separated list of alternate server host and port information. From which EIDS notifications may be received. These alternates are only used if the primary server fails.

Syntax: altServerOneHost:alterServerOnePort,altServerHostTwo:altServerPortTwo

eidsDebug

A boolean indicating if verbose logging from EIDS should be output.

Available values:

true
false

maxServerEventAgeDays

The maximum age (in days) of an event for which to receive notifications.

serverHost

The primary EIDS server from which notifications are received.

serverPort

The port on which to connect to the primary serverHost.

storage

Property inherited from the standard recevier properties referencing a product ProductStorage implementation.

For an EIDSProductReceiver, only FileProductStorage implementations can be used

trackingfile

The file in which the embedded EIDS Client tracks its notification status.

Example configuration

If using this type of receiver, the following add-opens flag must be added to the command when using Java 17.
