meep-hawk v1.1.1

Meep Hawk

The hawk monitors server resources and reports them. One hawk instance is tasked with storage of this data.

Setup

Install mongodb, mongodb-server, nodejs 5.x.

Begin by setting name, id, and instanceType in hawkConfig.js to properly report data, as well as the correct master server address. You will also need to accept the reporting machines connection requests by adding it to the trustedConnections.js array on the master instace.

/report

To start reporting to the master hawk instance (master can report to itself) simply run the reportingService.js with -harmony-destructuring enabled.

node -harmony-destructuring reportingService.js

you are now reporting.

/prey/:id

To get information about yourself simply specify the id that you'd like to prey on and it will return the latest data from the database. (note: during early alpha anyone on the trustedConnections list can prey on any server. This will not be true during beta. future requests will only be aloud from the specified address, to the specified address.)

collecting

to collect data simply have mongodb running and launch the collectionService.js using harmong destructuring flags.

node -harmony-destructuring collectionService.js
