class Exporter(storage: File = None, collectors: ArrayOf = None)

Bases: Record

Represents a system component responsible for exporting flow data.

Methods

fromdict	Builds instance from dictionary
get	Mimics dictionary get method
todict	Converts to dictionary
validate_fields

Attributes

collectors	Systems that receive and process flow data from the exporter
storage	Location and filename to store logs (with possible error reporting)

__init__(storage: File = None, collectors: ArrayOf = None)

collectors: ArrayOf = None

Systems that receive and process flow data from the exporter

classmethod fromdict(dic, e)

Builds instance from dictionary

It is used during deserialization to create an otupy instance from the text message. It takes an Encoder instance that is used to recursively build instances of the inner objects (the Encoder provides standard methods to create instances of base objects like strings, integers, boolean).

Parameters:

• dic – The intermediary dictionary representation from which the object is built.

• e – The Encoder that is being used.

Returns:

An instance of this class initialized from the dictionary values.

get(key, default=None)

Mimics dictionary get method

storage: File = None

Location and filename to store logs (with possible error reporting)

todict(e)

Converts to dictionary

It is used to convert this object to an intermediary representation during serialization. It takes an Encoder argument that is used to recursively serialize inner data and structures (the Encoder provides standard methods for converting base types to dictionaries)..

Parameters:

e – The Encoder that is being used.

Returns:

A dictionary compliants to the Language Specification’s serialization rules.
