Barn Agent, runs as a part of Barn logging pipeline. It monitors directories containing rotating log files and upon rotation of a new log file, it ships the file to the Barn Master.
Barn Agent is written in C++ and requires the following dependencies:
- Compile-time:
- Boost Libraries (tested against 1.53.0) and needs to link against (boost::system, boost::filesystem)
- Boost.Process (which is not a part of official boost libraries, but included in the source three.)
- A C++0x compliant to compile C++0x features. Tested with GCC 4.7.2.
- Run-time:
- Rsync (tested on 3.0.7 but should work with 3.0.x)
- inotifywait (which I'll remove the dependency in the future by replacing with system calls)
-
Build boost
-
Run make specifying where boost headers and libraries reside:
$ BOOST_INCLUDE_PATH=<PATH_TO_BOOST_HEADERS> BOOST_LIB_PATH=<PATH_TO_BOOST_LIBRARIES> make ``` -
You can also make a debian package out of the binary, via
make dist.
