container

Defines the JSON container path that holds mmdarwin’s generated data.

This parameter applies to Darwin connector (mmdarwin).

Name:

container

Scope:

module

Type:

word

Default:

module=”!mmdarwin”

Required?:

no

Introduced:

8.2008.0

Description

Set the JSON container path that mmdarwin uses when it writes Darwin metadata and response values back to the message. The container string must begin with "!" or "." so the path resolves to either the structured data in the message or a local variable tree.

If no value is configured, mmdarwin stores data under "!mmdarwin". The module prefixes this container to the target specified by key and to the generated "darwin_id" field that tracks the request UUID. As a result, selecting a custom container lets you control where the Darwin score and identifier are recorded.

Module usage

module(load="mmdarwin" container="!darwin")
action(type="mmdarwin" key="certitude")
