Overview
To read audio files, the Data Agent will read directly from the filesystem (it does not touch files, it only reads). HigherGround puts all the data needed about the file in the file name.
To prepare for this connection, we need the following details.
Configuration | Explanation |
directory | Directory where higherground stores files |
username | If authentication is needed to connect to the filesystem, the username for the user. If setting up a user for the agent to use, you can give that user read only permissions. |
password | If authentication is needed to connect to the filesystem, the username for the user. If setting up a user for the agent to use, you can give that user read only permissions. |
calltaker.positions | A comma separated list of positions to read and send to GovWorx |
Filenames and Call Positions
Higherground names their files based on the station and timestamp. We are able to unpack that and use it to match audio in the cloud. How the station is saved on the files will determine the matching strategy
We have a sample chunk of javascript code that does the filename unpacking here.
