I'm having a hard time with the argument syntax in the catalog section of the manual. Help!
The general form is
| Code Block |
|---|
sinkName(reqArg1, reqArg2[, optArg1="default" [optArg2=0]]{, kwarg1="default", kwarg2=0})
|
| Wiki Markup |
|---|
reqArg1 and reqArg2 are positional arguments and required in all instances. \[ \] chars enclose optional positional arguments. All optional arguments have a default value and must be enumerated in order. Thus optArg1 and optArg2 are optional positional arguments, and have defaults that get filled in if the are not present. \{ \} chars enclose optional keyword arguments. All keyword arguments are optional and have a default value and can be enumerated in any order. Thus kwarg1 and kwarg2 are keyword arguments with defaults. |
Let's take tailDir as an example. Here's the definition in the manual.
| Code Block |
|---|
tailDir("dirname"[, fileregex=".*"[, startFromEnd=false[, recurseDepth=0]]]{,delim="regex", delimMode="exclude|prev|next"})
|
Here are some valid examples:
| Code Block |
|---|
tailDir("/var/log/app") // all files
tailDir("/var/log/app",".*\.log") // all files with names that match the ".*\.log" regex (in shell this is *.log)
tailDir("/var/log/app",".*\.log", false, 1) // all files with names that match the ".*\.log" regex, starting from beginning of file, with one level of recursion depth.
tailDir("/var/log/app", delim="\n\n", delimMode="exclude") // all files with names that match the ".*\.log" regex, starting from beginning of file, with one level of recursion depth, that end with double new lines, excluding the double new lines
tailDir("/var/log/app",".*\.log", false, 1, delim="\n\n", delimMode="exclude") // all files with names that match the ".*\.log" regex, starting from beginning of file, with one level of recursion depth, that end with double new lines, excluding the double new lines
|
Here are some invalid examples (should fail):
| Code Block |
|---|
tailDir() // must have at least one arg
tailDir("/var/log/app", ".*", startFromEnd=true, 1) // positional args by default cannot be used as kwargs
|
Here are some currently valid but likely not what you want examples.
| Code Block |
|---|
tailDir("/var/log/app", ".*", startFromEnd=true, recurseDepth=1) // positional args by default cannot be used as kwargs

I'm new and I'm having a problem using dfs, customDfs, or escapedCustomDfs sinks.
