821935 - [crontabber] daily_url crontabber app needs good config

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Socorro :: General, task)

Description

[Peter Bengtsson [:peterbe]]

Our current "standard" is that crontabber and its jobs use the real default config variable (instead of `default="insert/something/here"`) so that the crontabber.ini can be minimal. 

However, the settings that daily_url.py are not set. E.g. 

    required_config.add_option(
        'public_output_path',
        default='.',
        doc="file system location to put the 'external/public' "
            "output csv file"
    )

All the defaults need to match Socorro production so that we don't need to add anything to /etc/socorro/crontabber.ini

Note-to-self: This is how to override settings in crontabber.ini for this app:

  [crontabber]
      ...
      [[class-DailyURLCronApp]]
          public_output_path=/some/where

Throwing this over to you Rob as per our discussion on Friday last week. 

What I did note was that the directory related settings were copied as they were before but what we need is the scp/ssh related stuff.

Not actively working on this, can help out though if needed.

We've gone back and forth so much about what the default config should be and never reach a standard. 
Also, the daily url functionality is slowly going out in favor of doing the same with Telemetry data. 
Let's not bother.
