sayoko is a service to ensure that only the latest version of each Gobbler asset
is included in the SewerRat index.
It does so by adding a .SewerRatignore file to the subdirectories corresponding to all non-latest versions of each asset,
either by scanning the log directory for updates or by periodically checking the entire Gobbler registry.
Each project modified in this manner is then re-registered in SewerRat index, providing users with a more up-to-date search of Gobbler assets.
The usual go build . command produces the sayoko binary.
We can then run it as shown below, using an account that has write permissions to the Gobbler registry.
./sayoko \
-registry PATH_TO_GOBBLER_REGISTRY
-url URL_FOR_SEWERRAT_REST_APIBy default, this will scan the log directory every 10 minutes and will do a full registry check every 24 hours.
These intervals can be modified with the -log and -full flags, respectively.
After every log scan, sayoko produces a .sayoko_last_scan file containing the RFC3339-formatted time of the most recent log.
This avoids redundant re-processing of the same log files when sayoko itself is restarted.
Advanced users can exploit this by modifying the timestamp in this file to force sayoko to process logs after a desired timepoint.
The path of this timestamp file can also be modified via the -timestamp flag.
Download the latest SewerRat binary and run it with default arguments.
Once the SewerRat service has started successfully, testing can be performed with the usual go test commands.
