Hi all,
I'm messing with a hideous integration project and part of the
requirements involve aggregating log files from servers via a web
interface. I'm using ant's scp task to try and grab the log files (as
we are not allowed to install anything on the servers).
ah the joy of a world where the ops team doesnt trust the developers.
Which is why I'm hosting my current endpoint on a laptop at home -I am
the ops team.
What I want to do is to use a fileset to filter the log files *before*
pulling them back to the aggregation server. I thought that this was
possible as scp takes a fileset which can use different selectors
ie
<scp localToDir="${basedir}" trust="true">
<fileset
dir="weblogic:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/weblogic/logs" includes="*.log" />
</scp>
Ok this is obviously not a realistic example as I can simply use a
wildcard in the file attribute to achive this, but my real use case
involves filtering the logs based on from/to dates - I thought the new
TimeComparison stuff would be perfect for this, but I cannot get scp to
work with todir set to a normal path, it always wants
user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/path, which isn't what I want.
So basically two questions:
1 - is it possible to use scp task with a fileset in this manner (ie
filter files on remote server before pulling back)
Not according to the docs; filesets are for local stuff only.
Maybe its time to add more features to scp.
2 - any work arounds if it's impossible
rsync.
