Use Cases

GoWF is currently aimed at solving a relatively small number of use cases. Below are some examples of use cases for which GoWF, for the most part, should work well with.

VM Backup

Backing up VM images/snapshots that match certain file_patterns to make sure only some types of files are uploaded to a Swift cluster.

Surveillance Video

Upload videos when a video recorder adds video segments into a watched folder. GoWF can also add metadata to objects, like recorder id, building number or other useful tags.

Note

GoWF doesn’t have the capibility to upload video clips in realtime or streaming data to Swift cluster directly. The basic concept of GoWF is to monitor a given file suffix of a video clip as the camera finishes writing and then rename it and/or move it to another folder.
