Asynchronous server host for aggregating sample data for multiple beehives.
CherryPy acts as a hyper-minimal webserver for accessing aggregated data over the local network. CherryPy's usefulness comes from its support for scheduled tasks, known as a Monitor, which is used to automate collection of samples sent to the aggregator.
ZeroMQ is a highly efficient asynchronous socket server and is responsible for handling communication to the individual hives. All data exchange uses the JSON convention.
Remote key-value store which allows realtime callbacks.
Local key-value store which allows advanced queries on large datasets.
To install all dependencies for the system, run the following:
./install.sh
To run the aggregator, from the git directory run the following:
python HiveAggregator.py
By default, the HiveAggregator uses settings.json, alternatively you can specify the settings file to use:
python HiveAggregator.py other_settings.json
