Endpoint Properties

Name Type Required Default Description
host string Sets the hostname of the remote SSH server.
port integer 22 Sets the port number for the remote SSH server.
failOnUnknownHost boolean false Specifies whether a connection to an unknown host should fail or not. This value is only checked when the property knownHosts is set.
knownHostsResource string Sets the resource path for a known_hosts file
timeout integer 30000 Sets the timeout in milliseconds to wait in establishing the remote SSH server connection. Defaults to 30000 milliseconds.
pollCommand string Sets the command string to send to the remote SSH server during every poll cycle. Only works with camel-ssh component being used as a consumer, i.e. from(ssh://...) You may need to end your command with a newline, and that must be URL encoded %0A
sendEmptyMessageWhenIdle boolean false If the polling consumer did not poll any files, you can enable this option to send an empty message (no body) instead.
bridgeErrorHandler boolean false Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions (if possible) occurred while the Camel consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. Important: This is only possible if the 3rd party component allows Camel to be alerted if an exception was thrown. Some components handle this internally only, and therefore bridgeErrorHandler is not possible. In other situations we may improve the Camel component to hook into the 3rd party component and make this possible for future releases. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored.
exceptionHandler object To let the consumer use a custom ExceptionHandler. Notice if the option bridgeErrorHandler is enabled then this option is not in use. By default the consumer will deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored.
exchangePattern object Sets the exchange pattern when the consumer creates an exchange.
pollStrategy object A pluggable org.apache.camel.PollingConsumerPollingStrategy allowing you to provide your custom implementation to control error handling usually occurred during the poll operation before an Exchange have been created and being routed in Camel.
lazyStartProducer boolean false Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel's routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.
channelType string exec Sets the channel type to pass to the Channel as part of command execution. Defaults to exec.
clientBuilder object Instance of ClientBuilder used by the producer or consumer to create a new SshClient
compressions string Whether to use compression, and if so which.
shellPrompt string Sets the shellPrompt to be dropped when response is read after command execution
sleepForShellPrompt integer 100 Sets the sleep period in milliseconds to wait reading response from shell prompt. Defaults to 100 milliseconds.
backoffErrorThreshold integer The number of subsequent error polls (failed due some error) that should happen before the backoffMultipler should kick-in.
backoffIdleThreshold integer The number of subsequent idle polls that should happen before the backoffMultipler should kick-in.
backoffMultiplier integer To let the scheduled polling consumer backoff if there has been a number of subsequent idles/errors in a row. The multiplier is then the number of polls that will be skipped before the next actual attempt is happening again. When this option is in use then backoffIdleThreshold and/or backoffErrorThreshold must also be configured.
delay integer 500 Milliseconds before the next poll.
greedy boolean false If greedy is enabled, then the ScheduledPollConsumer will run immediately again, if the previous run polled 1 or more messages.
initialDelay integer 1000 Milliseconds before the first poll starts.
repeatCount integer 0 Specifies a maximum limit of number of fires. So if you set it to 1, the scheduler will only fire once. If you set it to 5, it will only fire five times. A value of zero or negative means fire forever.
runLoggingLevel object TRACE The consumer logs a start/complete log line when it polls. This option allows you to configure the logging level for that.
scheduledExecutorService object Allows for configuring a custom/shared thread pool to use for the consumer. By default each consumer has its own single threaded thread pool.
scheduler object none To use a cron scheduler from either camel-spring or camel-quartz component. Use value spring or quartz for built in scheduler
schedulerProperties object To configure additional properties when using a custom scheduler or any of the Quartz, Spring based scheduler.
startScheduler boolean true Whether the scheduler should be auto started.
timeUnit object MILLISECONDS Time unit for initialDelay and delay options.
useFixedDelay boolean true Controls if fixed delay or fixed rate is used. See ScheduledExecutorService in JDK for details.
certResource string Sets the resource path of the certificate to use for Authentication. Will use ResourceHelperKeyPairProvider to resolve file based certificate, and depends on keyType setting.
certResourcePassword string Sets the password to use in loading certResource, if certResource is an encrypted key.
ciphers string Comma-separated list of allowed/supported ciphers in their order of preference.
kex string Comma-separated list of allowed/supported key exchange algorithms in their order of preference.
keyPairProvider object Sets the KeyPairProvider reference to use when connecting using Certificates to the remote SSH Server.
keyType string Sets the key type to pass to the KeyPairProvider as part of authentication. KeyPairProvider.loadKey(...) will be passed this value. From Camel 3.0.0 / 2.25.0, by default Camel will select the first available KeyPair that is loaded. Prior to this, a KeyType of 'ssh-rsa' was enforced by default.
macs string Comma-separated list of allowed/supported message authentication code algorithms in their order of preference. The MAC algorithm is used for data integrity protection.
password string Sets the password to use in connecting to remote SSH server. Requires keyPairProvider to be set to null.
signatures string Comma-separated list of allowed/supported signature algorithms in their order of preference.
username string Sets the username to use in logging into the remote SSH server.
