- Configuring the Importer extension
- ==================================
- The importer extension can be used without any explicit configuration, and by default it will:
- * Stage the REST uploads in a dedicated sub-folder of the data directory (``uploads``).
- * Pose no limit to the amount of concurrent imports executed.
- It is however possible to configure the above using the "Importer" entry under the "Settings" menu:
- .. figure:: images/menu.png
-
- The importer configuration menu entry
-
- The configuration page looks as follows:
- .. figure:: images/configuration.png
- The importer configuration page
- .. list-table::
- :widths: 20 80
- :header-rows: 1
- * - Entry
- - Description
- * - Upload root
- - The folder that will hold REST call uploads
- * - Maximum synchronous jobs
- - How many synchronous jobs can be run in parallel. Synchronous jobs can only be run via the REST API.
- * - Maximum asynchronous jobs
- - How many asynchronous jobs can be run in parallel. Asynchronous jobs can run via the REST API,
- and all jobs started from the GUI are asynchronous.
- * - Maximum asynchronous jobs
- - How many asynchronous jobs can be run in parallel. Asynchronous jobs can run via the REST API,
- and all jobs started from the GUI are asynchronous.
- * - Completed and stale imports expiration
- - How many minutes to wait, before removing an import from the database. Imports that are still
- running are ignored, while completed, errored, or imports that were created, but never started,
- are going to be considered for cleanup. Value is in minutes, set to zero or negative to never
- remove values. Defaults to 1440 minutes, one day.
- Importer Logging
- ----------------
- The importer extension includes a new :file:`IMPORTER_LOGGING` profile which may be selected in global settings.
- * This profile is quiet during normal operation (similar to :file:`PRODUCTION_LOOGGING`)
- * Provides configuration and information logs on importer activity
