Edge Delta Execs Input

See the latest version here.

Overview

You can configure the Edge Delta agent to consume the output from an executed command or script. If the command fails (non-zero exit code) its output will be ignored. Upon successful execution, each line of stdout will be ingested to the system separately.

Example

inputs:
  execs:
    - name: "welcomes"
      labels: "script"
      interval: 10s
      command: "/bin/sh -c"
      script: |
        for i in {1..50}
          do
            echo "Welcome $i times"
          done        

Example Output

With this configuration applied, the following example log could be delivered.
