FileSystem Listing
The FilePulseSourceConnector periodically lists object files that may be streamed into Kafka using the FileSystemListing
configured in the connector’s configuration.
Supported Filesystems
Currently, Kafka Connect FilePulse supports the following implementations:
AmazonS3FileSystemListingAzureBlobStorageFileSystemListingGcsFileSystemListingLocalFSDirectoryListing(default)
Local Filesystem (default)
The LocalFSDirectoryListing class can be used for listing files that exist in a local filesystem directory.
How to use it ?
fs.listing.class=io.streamthoughts.kafka.connect.filepulse.fs.LocalFSDirectoryListing
Configuration
| Configuration | Description | Type | Default | Importance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
fs.listing.directory.path | The input directory to scan | string | - | HIGH |
fs.listing.recursive.enabled | Flag indicating whether local directory should be recursively scanned | boolean | true | MEDIUM |
Supported File types
The LocalFSDirectoryListing will try to detect if a file needs to be decompressed by probing its content type or its extension (javadoc : Files#probeContentType)
Supported content-types are:
- GZIP :
application/x-gzip - TAR :
application/x-tar - ZIP :
application/x-zip-compressedorapplication/zip
Amazon S3
The AmazonS3FileSystemListing class can be used for listing objects that exist in a specific Amazon S3 bucket.
How to use it ?

Google Cloud Storage
The GcsFileSystemListing class can be used for listing objects that exist in a specific Google Cloud Storage bucket.
How to use it ?
fs.listing.class=io.streamthoughts.kafka.connect.filepulse.fs.GcsFileSystemListing
Configuration
| Configuration | Description | Type | Default | Importance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
gcs.credentials.path | The path to GCP credentials file. Cannot be set when GCS_CREDENTIALS_JSON_CONFIG is provided. If no credentials is specified the client library will look for credentials via the environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS. | string | - | HIGH |
gcs.credentials.json | The GCP credentials as JSON string. Cannot be set when GCS_CREDENTIALS_PATH_CONFIG is provided. If no credentials is specified the client library will look for credentials via the environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS. | string | - | HIGH |
gcs.bucket.name | The GCS bucket name to download the object files from. | string | - | HIGH |
gcs.blobs.filter.prefix | The prefix to be used for filtering blobs whose names begin with it. | string | - | MEDIUM |
Azure Blob Storage
The AzureBlobStorageConfig class can be used for listing objects that exist in a specific Azure Storage Container.
How to use it ?
fs.listing.class=io.streamthoughts.kafka.connect.filepulse.fs.AzureBlobStorageFileSystemListing
Configuration
| Configuration | Description | Type | Default | Importance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
azure.storage.connection.string | Azure storage account connection string. | string | - | HIGH |

azure.storage.account.key | The Azure storage account key. | string | - | HIGH |
azure.storage.container.name | The Azure storage container name. | string | - | MEDIUM |
azure.storage.blob.prefix | The prefix to be used for restricting the listing of the blobs in the container. | string | - | MEDIUM |
Filtering input files
You can configure one or more FileFilter that will be used to determine if a file should be scheduled for processing or ignored.
All files that are filtered out are simply ignored and remain untouched on the file system until the next scan.
At the next scan, previously filtered files will be evaluated again to determine if they are now eligible for processing.
FilePulse packs with the following built-in filters :
IgnoreHiddenFileFilter
The IgnoreHiddenFileFilter can be used to filter hidden files from being read.
Configuration example
fs.listing.filters=io.streamthoughts.kafka.connect.filepulse.scanner.local.filter.IgnoreHiddenFileListFilter
Limitation
This filter is only supported by theLocalFSDirectoryListing.LastModifiedFileFilter
The LastModifiedFileFilter can be used to filter files that have been modified to recently based on their last modified date property.
fs.listing.filters=io.streamthoughts.kafka.connect.filepulse.scanner.local.filter.LastModifiedFileFilter
# The last modified time for a file can be accepted (default: 5000)
file.filter.minimum.age.ms=10000
RegexFileFilter
The RegexFileFilter can be used to filter files that do not match the specified regex.
fs.listing.filters=io.streamthoughts.kafka.connect.filepulse.scanner.local.filter.RegexFileListFilter
# The regex pattern used to match input files
file.filter.regex.pattern="\\.log$"
