Configuration¶
If tport
does not find the relevant settings on the command line or the .tport file, it will resort to the default settings for each tools. For example,
localhost:9200
–> Elastic searchlocalhost:9092
–> Kafka
Connection settings such as the host and db can also be specified on the command line. Anything specified on the command line will have presedence over settings in files. Order of precedence:
- command line
- .tport
- defaults
JSON Transporter CLI¶
Once installed, tport
takes serialized JSON text files from the command line
and transporter it to a supported tool.
