[bind10-dev] support map type in config data

[Jerry]

Hello, Jelte,

 

I have a question about config data, Can you give some suggestions?

Because logging module supports several channels , each has its own config
items, it’s better to define channel phrase, which will make the logging
configuration more readable(see sample below).  I tried to use map type in
config_data, but it doesn’t work very well.  Has config module supported
this type yet?  If not, do you plan to support it in the future?

 

Thanks.

 

A sample configuration for logging:

"config_data": [

{

           "item_name" : "File_Channel",

           "item_type" : "map",

           "item_optional" : False,

           "item_default": {

                "log_file" : "@@LOCALSTATEDIR@@/@PACKAGE@/log/Xfrout.log ",

                "log_versions" : 5

           }

           "map_item_spec":[

               {

                     "item_name": "log_file",        

                     "item_type": "string",

                     "item_optional": False,         

                     "item_default":
"@@LOCALSTATEDIR@@/@PACKAGE@/log/Xfrout.log "

                },

                {

                     "item_name": "log_versions",

                     "item_type": "integer",

                     "item_optional": False,

                     "item_default": 5

                }

                …

          ]

    }

     {

         "item_name" : "SysLog_Channel",

         "item_type" : "list",

         "item_optional" : false,

         "item_default" :{

              "SysLog_severity" : "debug",

              "facility " : "syslog.LOG_USER"

         } 

         " map_item_spec ":[

              {

                   "item_name": "SysLog_severity",    

                   "item_type": "string",

                   "item_optional": False,

                   "item_default": "debug"

              },

              {

                   "item_name": "facility ",

                   "item_type": "string",

                   "item_optional": False,

                   "item_default": "syslog.LOG_USER"

              }

        ]

   }

...

 ]
