Configuration
The Fabasoft app.telemetry command line client communicates with the Fabasoft app.telemetry server using an HTTP connection.
Use the following commands to setup communication parameters:
Command Line Client (Linux) – Configuration Commands |
|---|
> apptelemetry set server “http://<servername>/apptelemetry/server/” > apptelemetry set authentication [anonymous | basic <username> <password> | kerberos] example: apptelemetry set authentication basic admin pwd123 |
Optionally you could also set a proxy server with and without authentication (the default setting is to use a direct connection without proxy server.
Command Line Client (Linux) – Configuration Commands – Proxy |
|---|
> apptelemetry set proxy [default | direct | host <proxyserver> [<username> <password>]] example: apptelemetry set proxy direct example: apptelemetry set proxy host 10.20.30.40 example: apptelemetry set proxy host myproxy.com:8080 myuser mypassword |
Telemetry data files are downloaded to the local host into a specific target directory which can be changed using the following command:
Command Line Client (Linux) – Configuration Commands – Download Directory |
|---|
> apptelemetry set downloadtarget “<target-directory>” example: apptelemetry set downloadtarget “/tmp/app.telemetry.client” |
These settings are persisted in a configuration file so they only have to be done the first time.
Location of the persisted configuration file:
- Linux: <user-home-dir>/.app.telemetry/clientsettings.xml
- Example: /home/admin/.app.telemetry/clientsettings.xml
- Microsoft Windows: <user-home-dir>\<AppData>\Fabasoft app.telemetry\clientsettings.xml
- Example (Microsoft Windows Server 2016): C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Fabasoft app.telemetry\clientsettings.xml
Optionally you could also set a timeout for all network requests (from the command line client to Fabasoft app.telemetry web server): default timeout is 30 seconds (30000)
Command Line Client (Linux) – Configuration Commands – Timeout |
|---|
> apptelemetry set timeout <timeoutmilliseconds> example: apptelemetry set timeout 60000 |
