File Surveys

The file survey connectors contain the implementation of three survey action services that extract and report on files and folders. The connectors are provided by the Egeria community.

  • Folder Survey Service - FolderSurveyService is a survey action service implementation for analysing the files nested in a folder. The depth of the survey is controlled by the analysisLevel request parameter.

    • The default value is 'TOP_LEVEL_ONLY' which produces summary statistics for the top-level directory only.
    • If it is set to 'ALL_FOLDERS' then there are statistics created for the top level directory, and all subdirectories.
    • If it set to 'TOP_LEVEL_AND_FILES' then statistics are created for the top-level directory and all files that are encountered.
    • Finally, if it is set to 'ALL_FOLDERS_AND_FILES' then statistics are created for all directories and files encountered.", "string", "myFile.csv".

  • File Survey Service - File Survey Service extracts properties about a file. It then maps these properties to Egeria's file reference data to enable summary statistics to be calculated.

  • CSV Survey Service - CSV File Survey analyses the internals of a CSV file to determine the schema (column structure) and to profile the data in each column.
