Observer¶
- class pathspider.observer.DummyObserver[source]¶
The dummy observer provides a class compatible with the API of the Observer class without actually performing any operations. This is primarily used for PATHspider’s test suite.
- run_flow_enqueuer(flowqueue, irqueue=None)[source]¶
When running the flow enqueuer, no network operation is performed and the thread will block until given a shutdown signal. When the shutdown signal is received it will cascade the signal onto the flowqueue in the same way that a real Observer instance would.
- class pathspider.observer.Observer(lturi, chains=None, idle_timeout=30, expiry_timeout=5)[source]¶
Wraps a packet source identified by a libtrace URI, parses packets to divide them into flows, passing these packets and flows onto a function chain to allow data to be associated with each flow.
