Using the Configuration File

The configuration file should have one line per Kafka broker that you want to monitor. Once all of the settings have been specified, save the file with a .csv file extension. When running monitor_start.py the configuration file will be processed to generate the corresponding JSON configuration, and start tibkmongatway process using the newly generated JSON configuration.

The JSON file may be manually modified without having to modify the corresponding (.csv based) configuration file. In that case, any subsequent invocations of monitor_start.py should reference the modified JSON file instead of the corresponding configuration file to avoid overwriting the previously created JSON file.
