Connector Configuration

Overview

BUGSwarm-Connector Connector is a BUG application designed to showcase the BUGswarm middleware system. The connector uses a combination of ReST web services and XMPP messages to publish information, respond to peer requests, and expose device and status information online.

Connector is designed to be usable by any general purpose Swarm peer but is optimized for the Bug Labs Swarm Management Application (Manager). This web app communicates with connector via XMPP. Any data that is registered or sent to Swarm server by default is meant for consumption by the Manager.

Configuration

Some local configuration information is required before a Connector can connect to a BUGswarm server. By default, a web-based form is generated that allows a user to enter:

Username

Participation API Key

Configuration API Key

This information becomes available after creating an account on BUGswarm. To access this webform, the BUG must be on the network with a known IP-address. Go to http://<bug ip>/bugswarm to access the web form.

After submitting the information, a device with the nickname specified (TODO) will appear in your list of resources in the management web app.
