To automatically retrieve information from Azure Blob Storage, create a new fetch task by following these steps. The connector runs each fetch task automatically, based on the schedule that is configured in the configuration file.
To create a new Fetch Task
In the [FetchTasks]
section of the configuration file, specify the number of fetch tasks using the Number
parameter. If you are configuring the first fetch task, type Number=1
. If one or more fetch tasks have already been configured, increase the value of the Number
parameter by one (1). Below the Number
parameter, specify the names of the fetch tasks, starting from zero (0). For example:
[FetchTasks] Number=1 0=MyTask
Below the [FetchTasks]
section, create a new TaskName section. The name of the section must match the name of the new fetch task. For example:
[FetchTasks] Number=1 0=MyTask [MyTask]
Specify the account name and application key to use to connect to Azure:
AccountName
|
The name of the Azure account to retrieve information from. |
AccountKey
|
The application key to use for authentication. You can obtain this from Azure. |
(Optional) To limit the information that is retrieved from Azure, you can set the following parameters:
ContainerCantHaveRegex
|
A regular expression to choose the containers to process. If the full name of a container matches the regular expression, the connector does not retrieve any information from it. |
ContainerMustHaveRegex
|
A regular expression to choose the containers to process. The full name of a container must match the regular expression, otherwise the connector does not retrieve any information from it. |
BlobCantHaveRegex
|
A regular expression to choose the blobs to process. If the name of a blob (excluding the container name) matches the regular expression, the connector does not process it. |
BlobMustHaveRegex
|
A regular expression to choose the blobs to process. The name of a blob (excluding the container name) must match the regular expression, otherwise the connector does not process it. |
