Configuration File

PowerAPI can read configuration through config file or through the CLI. Here we are using config file because they are more readable.

PowerAPI can be configured with the following parameters :

• verbose (bool) : verbose or quiet mode.
• stream (bool) : to specify if the reports are provided one by one or are stored in a database.
• sensor-report-sampling-interval (int): If in stream mode, the time in milliseconds between two reports.
• input (database) : The database used in input. The way to write their configuration is specified here. Multiple database can be used as inputs.
• output (database) : The database used in output. The way to write their configuration is specified here. Multiple database can be used as outputs.

All configuration files of PowerAPI based formula follow the next template:

{
  "verbose": $bool,
  "stream": $bool ,
  "sensor-report-sampling-interval" : $int,
"input": {
    $puller_name: {
      "model": $type_of_report,
      "type": $type_of_database,
      $database_parameters
    }
    ... #(Multiple puller can be used)
  },
  "output": {
    $pusher_name: {
      "type": $type_of_database
      $database_parameters
    }
    ... #(Multiple pusher can be used)

  },
  $formula_parameters
}
