Azure Filereader

A method to read files from an Azure File Storage. The defined folder is polled periodically for new files. When a file is detected it creates a new message from the file.

An Azure File Storage account can contain multiple file shares. These are locations where files can be triggered from or sending to. Before the user can use this element. An Azure File Storage account must be available. For a brief guide, see Azure Storage account setup

Http Actions

The Http Actions page allows the user to set up specific actions that a Azure Filereader endpoint can take, based on the code returned by the call. When a Azure filereader is setup and configured, then default values are created into this setup table by clicks on Restore defaults, actions that can be further modified based on your connection needs.

Default setup

Code From	Code To	Http Action	Number of Retries	Delay
200	299	Success
429	429	Retry	5	5000

Property	Usage	Observation
Code From	Defines the starting point of the interval of http codes	Accepted values from 100, up to 599
Code To	Defines the ending point of the interval of http codes	Accepted values from 100, up to 599, must be greater or equal to Code From
Http Action	Action to take if the response code falls into the defined interval	Available options: Success, Retry and Error
