This directory contains a stream handler example for pktvisor module developers. In order to create your own pktvisor module, you can use this repository as reference. You can also use the standard modules as reference code for your own module.
This project adds pktvisor project as a git submodule using the command:
git submodule add https://github.com/ns1labs/pktvisor.git
To build this project you can simple follow the commands.
git clone https://github.com/ns1labs/pktvisor-module-example.git
cd pktvisor-module-example
git submodule update --init --recursive --progress
mkdir build && cd build
# configure and handle dependencies
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
# build and run tests
make all test
It will generate a shared object VisorExampleHandlerDyn.so and the config file VisorExampleHandlerDyn.conf in build/lib.
You can change the folder of those files. Then, to use the Dynamic Module in pktvisord you should pass the folder which contains module files:
<bin_path>/pktvisord --module-dir <example_handler_dir>
If you want to add new 3rd party libraries through conan, you just need to add it to conanfile.txt.
For instance, the Example Module has a dependency to sqlite3 which is not an original pktvisor dependency.
