Custom Datasources Catalog

insights.specs.datasources

Custom datasources provide functionality beyond simple_file and simple_command type datasources. If the custom datasource is short and concise it may be added to this module. Other datasources should be added as a separate module. Normally custom datasources are necessary for core-collection. In order for a custom datasource to execute, all of its dependencies must be explicitly loaded by the client. The client uses the YAML template insights.collect.default_manifest and each parser/combiner/component required by a custom datasource must be included in the YAML template to ensure it is loaded.
