Backends

Dispatch the collected data

The collected data can be sent to different endpoints, a.k.a. backends.

Stdout

The simplest way to show what situation ahs collected is to print the final payload to stdout.

situation --stdout

situation.exe --stdout

File

The payload can also be stored in a file.

situation --file --file-path=/tmp/situation.json

situation.exe --file --file-path="C:\Users\situation.json"

HTTP

Finally, the http backend is very convenient to send the payload (json) directly to a remote server.

situation --http --http-url=http://localhost:8000/situation/ --http-extra-header="X-API-Key=d50deba3-6183-425a-b35c-ef0e030c284e" 

situation.exe --http --http-url=http://localhost:8000/situation/ --http-extra-header="X-API-Key=d50deba3-6183-425a-b35c-ef0e030c284e" 

By default it uses the POST method, but you can also use PUT by using the --http-method option.

Also, it embeds a default authorization header, filled with the agent id: Authorization: <agent-id> (can be modified with the --http-authorization flag)
