Knative source

You can use the file-watch-source Kamelet as a Knative source by binding it to a Knative object.

file-watch-source-binding.yaml
apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
kind: KameletBinding
metadata:
  name: file-watch-source-binding
spec:
  source:
    ref:
      kind: Kamelet
      apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
      name: file-watch-source
    properties:
      events: The Events
      filePath: The Path to Watch
  sink:
    ref:
      kind: Channel
      apiVersion: messaging.knative.dev/v1
      name: mychannel

Prerequisite

You have Camel K installed on the cluster.

Procedure for using the cluster CLI

  1. Save the file-watch-source-binding.yaml file to your local drive, and then edit it as needed for your configuration.

  2. Run the source by using the following command:

    kubectl apply -f file-watch-source-binding.yaml

Procedure for using the Kamel CLI

Configure and run the source by using the following command:

kamel bind file-watch-source -p "source.events=The Events" -p "source.filePath=The Path to Watch" channel:mychannel

This command creates the KameletBinding in the current namespace on the cluster.
