# Data collector
|
|
|
|
## Task
|
|
Implement a service that collects system information upon reception of a trigger event.
|
|
The trigger event is raised when existence of a file with a certain name in a specified directory is detected.
|
|
|
|
The following features must be implemented:
|
|
* Trigger detection
|
|
* Detect creation of a file in a somehow specified directory
|
|
* Make the directory configurable via commandline parameter
|
|
* Only trigger on files with names following this format:
|
|
* Starts with `core.<variable name of a service>.`
|
|
* Ends with `lz4`
|
|
* Contains one or more hexadecimal id separated by dots
|
|
* Example: `core.ServiceName.3057.57dd721409bc4ab4b38a3c33a36a608a.3717.1647975805000000.lz4`
|
|
* Collected data shall be:
|
|
* Individual files, as well as whole directories and their contents, recursively, configured via command line parameter
|
|
* Store the collected data in a configurable directory, create a `tar`-archive of the aforementioned contents
|
|
* Give the resulting file a unique name.
|
|
* Add tests to make sure your application is working,
|
|
* How tests are implemented is up to you
|
|
|
|
## Things to keep in mind
|
|
* Implement your collection in a way such that it can be extended to collect other data of various forms later.
|
|
* Use modern C++!
|
|
* Use the platform of your choice (Linux, BSD, MacOS, Windows, etc.)
|
|
* We use Linux but everything else is cool, too.
