Foldermonitor is daemon program which monitors chosen folder, reads files, parses data from it(expects one key:value data inside single file) and writes parsed data to database. Also used docker container for deploying purpose with centOS7 as base and SQLite as database.

Installation

Clone repository

git clone https://github.com/mrGoncharuk/foldermonitor.git

Hints

Check database records

sqlite3 /home/foldermonitor/database/foldermonitor.db "select * from filedata"

If you accidentally deleted your database you can easily restore it.

cd foldermonitor/database
cat db_creation_script.sql | sqlite3 foldermonitor.db

Check log

cat /var/log/maillog

Change devtoolset(i.e to build daemon)

scl enable devtoolset-7 bash

If you don't see any logs in /var/log/maillog, restart rsyslog

systemctl restart rsyslog
