Job Autostart

Overview

To automatically import and enable a job, use the following parameters:

Name	Description
`-job-enable`	Enable specified job by name. Support job names separated by commas.
`-job-path`	Import a job from a specified file or HTTP(s) content. Supports comma seperated files. If the `job-enable` parameter is not defined, ALL jobs in the file will be started.
`-job-execute`	Run specified jobs by name after the start-up. Multiple job names can be specified, separated by comma.

Note that the imported jobs will be enabled but will only run according to the schedule. To run a job manually, add the -job-execute parameter.

To enable one of the pre-configured jobs, set the -job-enable parameter:

./axibase-collector/bin/start-collector.sh -job-enable=job_name

For example, to enable a job with the name 'json-socrata':

./axibase-collector/bin/start-collector.sh -job-enable=json-socrata

To load and enable a job from file, use the -job-path and -job-enable parameters:

./axibase-collector/bin/start-collector.sh -job-path=path_to_file -job-enable=job_name

For example, to enable a 'my-jmx-job' job loaded from the file /tmp/job.xml:

./axibase-collector/bin/start-collector.sh -job-path=/tmp/job.xml -job-enable=my-jmx-job

To load jobs from a remote file, specify the full path:

./axibase-collector/bin/start-collector.sh -job-path=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/axibase/axibase-collector/master/job-templates/icmp-ping.xml

./axibase-collector/bin/start-collector.sh -job-path=/tmp/jobs.xml -job-enable=json-job,tcp-job

To execute a job immediately, use the -job-execute parameter:

./axibase-collector/bin/start-collector.sh -job-execute=job_name

For example, for a job with the name 'my-jmx-job':

./axibase-collector/bin/start-collector.sh -job-path=/tmp/job.xml -job-enable=my-jmx-job -job-execute=json-my-jmx-job
