3.3. Drone
upsilon-drone is the workhorse of Upsilon, and you need at least one drone to get anything done.
Here’s how the architecture works;
The upsilon-drone service ships with a "sample" configuration file that is ready to use in this simple deployment;
root@host: cd /etc/upsilon-drone/ root@host: cp config.xml.sample config.xml
We should now start the drone, which should pick up the configuration file
root@host: service upsilon-drone restart
Lets try and ping it;
root@host: upsilon-ping Waiting 3 seconds for responses to pings. +--------------------------------------+--------------------+------------+ | Identifier | Version | Type | +--------------------------------------+--------------------+------------+ | 5b4e1ec4-ab8d-4f03-88b3-0746f6e5922e | 2.2.0-0-1514431787 | amqp, rest | +--------------------------------------+--------------------+------------+
Looks good. However, we need a custodian to write results to a database now…
