Adding modules manually

Adding new receiver and sender modules manually can be achieved in two ways:

1. extending associated JSON configuration file with new module definition
2. creating new JSON configuration and run new module separately

Extending existing module configuration

Receiver and Sender JSON configuration file allows to define array of Receivers/Senders as follows:

{
  "receivers": [
    {
      "license": "n5NkzaEOALzvGs7LOExyAulYdqo8X+5==",
      "name": "Receiver 01",                        
      "host": "localhost",                          
      "port": 8001,                                 
      "bodyLimit": 2097152,
       ...
    {
      "license": "n5NkzaEOALzvGs7LOExyAulYdqo8X+5==",
      "name": "Another receiver",
      ...
    }
  ]
}

Specifying the port is optional. If not specified, first available port will be selected automatically.

Running new module

Second option is to run new module in separate JVM. This requires creating new configuration files - config.json and cluster.xml. See  Configuring IoT Controller for more details.

Once both files are available, you can start the module using starup command defined in  Receiver configuration or  Sender configuration. E.g.:

java -Dapplication.name=receiver-1 -Dvertx.hazelcast.config=cluster.xml -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -jar iot-collector-generic-receiver-x.y.z.jar -conf config.json
