Start & Shutdown

This section assumes my-connector project has been generated.

 

Connector start

Testing your connector runs the process in the foreground. Use cdk deploy start to run your connector in the background:

$ cdk deploy start --config sample-config.yaml
Log file: /private/tmp/my-connector/my-connector.log
Connector runs with process id: 88589
 

List running connectors

CDK offers a convenience function to list running connectors:

$ cdk deploy list
 NAME                            STATUS  
 my-my-connector-test-connector  Running 

You can use the connector name to shut it down.

 

Connector shutdown

Stop a running your connector with cdk deploy shutdown

$ cdk deploy shutdown --name my-my-connector-test-connector
Shutting down connector: my-my-connector-test-connector 
pid: 56421

In the next section we’ll take a look at the logs for troubleshooting.
