Struct ContentSourceEntry 

pub struct ContentSourceEntry {
    pub source_type: String,
    pub path: Option<String>,
    pub folder_id: Option<String>,
    pub service_account_key: Option<String>,
    pub connection_id: Option<i64>,

}

A single content source entry.

Fields

source_type: String

Source type: "local_fs" or "google_drive".

path: Option<String>

Filesystem path (for local_fs sources). Supports ~ expansion.

folder_id: Option<String>

Google Drive folder ID (for google_drive sources).

service_account_key: Option<String>

Path to a Google service-account JSON key file (for google_drive sources). Legacy field – new installs use connection_id with OAuth 2.0 instead.

connection_id: Option<i64>

Reference to a row in the connections table for remote sources. When set, the Watchtower uses the linked account’s credentials instead of service_account_key.

watch: bool

Whether to watch for changes in real-time.

Deprecated: Use enabled and change_detection instead. Kept for backward compatibility — when enabled is None, the value of watch is used as the fallback.

enabled: Option<bool>

Whether this source participates in ingestion at all.

When None, falls back to watch for backward compatibility. When Some(false), the source is completely skipped.

change_detection: String

How changes are detected for this source.

• "auto" (default) — local_fs: notify watcher + fallback poll; google_drive: interval poll.
• "poll" — poll only (useful when notify is unreliable, e.g. NFS).
• "none" — initial scan only, no ongoing monitoring.

file_patterns: Vec<String>

File patterns to include.

loop_back_enabled: bool

Whether to write metadata back to source files.

analytics_sync_enabled: bool

Whether to sync analytics data (impressions, engagement, performance score) back into source file frontmatter on a periodic schedule.

Only supported for local_fs sources. Default: false.

poll_interval_seconds: Option<u64>

Polling interval in seconds for remote sources (default: 300 = 5 min).

Implementations

impl ContentSourceEntry

pub fn is_enabled(&self) -> bool

Whether this source should participate in ingestion.

Prefers enabled when explicitly set; otherwise falls back to the legacy watch field for backward compatibility.

pub fn effective_change_detection(&self) -> &str

The effective change detection mode for this source.

Returns "none" when the source is disabled (short-circuit).

pub fn is_poll_only(&self) -> bool

Whether this source uses poll-only change detection.

pub fn is_scan_only(&self) -> bool

Whether this source should only do an initial scan with no ongoing monitoring.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for ContentSourceEntry

fn clone(&self) -> ContentSourceEntry

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for ContentSourceEntry

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for ContentSourceEntry

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl Serialize for ContentSourceEntry

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.
