Records from File(1) Manual Page

Input

[Input is read from a disk file]

Output

Records read from the log file.

The tool allows for feeding the Netlogger with records previously output to a file via Log to File, but it will work with any column based text file, fx. a comma separated values file (.csv). It might be necessary to tell the tool about field and record delimiters - see settings below.

Mode

The number of times to read a file (One Run, Fixed Number, or Loop).

Filename

The name of the log file to read.

Record delay (ms)

Delay in milliseconds between emit of records.

Max records pew second

The maximum number of records emitted per second.

Record delimiter

The character that delimits the records in the log file.

Field delimiter

The character that delimits the fields in the log file.

File format

Format of the log file.

Delay

If you mark this field, the tool will emit a maximum of 5000 records per second. This is often a good idea, since it will prevent the tool from taking up too many resources.

Number of runs

The number of times to read a file. This field will only have effect if the Mode field is set to Fixed Number.
