Cannot set up janitor monkey without simpleDB

[James Alford]

I have adjusted the config in "client.properties" to have the setting as follows

# Uncomment to use a version of Monkey recorder that does not rely on AWS SDB
simianarmy.client.recorder.class=com.netflix.simianarmy.basic.LocalDbRecorder

I am getting the following error which looks like the code is still using AmazonSimpleDB and not local recorder:

Make sure you set the other properties that are required, the code isn't very forgiving if any of these are missing:

# database settings
simianarmy.recorder.db.driver=org.postgresql.Driver
simianarmy.recorder.db.user=dbuser
simianarmy.recorder.db.pass=dbpassword
simianarmy.recorder.db.url=jdbc:postgresql://yourserver.us-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com:5432/simianarmy

# recorder class
simianarmy.client.recorder.class=com.netflix.simianarmy.aws.RDSRecorder

# db tables
simianarmy.janitor.resources.db.table=janitor
simianarmy.conformity.resources.db.table=conformity
simianarmy.recorder.db.table=event

@ebukoski
Thanks for the response.

Do you have any information on just using a local on server db file and not one in AWS?

I tried enabling this bit of config as well as the LocalDB class but that didnt do much.

# Following should be a writeable location, for monkey events when SimpleDB is not used
#simianarmy.recorder.localdb.file=/tmp/simianarmy_events

A local JDBC friendly database should work as long as all the simianarmy.recorder.db. settings are correct. It won't work to simply point it at a file though.
