Brood

Brood uses Docker for infrastructure management. To use this repository, make sure you have Docker installed on your target machine.

Brood consists of the following software

• VerneMQ - MQTT
• InfluxDB - Timeseries database
• Grafana - Timeseries visualization
• Brood - Middleware

Brood forces an encrypted MQTT connection. The following steps show how to create self-signed certificates to get RosettaHome talking to Brood.

1. $ cd priv
2. $ ../script/generate_ca.sh
3. make sure to fill in the questions
4. copy the generated certificate .crt file to priv/ssl/ca.crt
5. $ ../script/generate_server_crt.sh
6. copy the generate key and certificate to priv/ssl/brood.crt and priv/ssl/brood.key respectively
7. $ ../script/generate_client_crt.sh
8. copy the generated key and certificate to RosettaHome’s rosetta_home/app/cloud_logger/priv/ssl/cicada.key and rosetta_home/app/cloud_logger/priv/ssl/cicada.crt
   • you will have to manually build and burn a new Rosetta Home image.
9. $ docker-compose up
10. All logging is directed to syslog
11. Go to http://localhost:3000
12. Login:
    • un: admin
    • pw: admin
13. Setup data source
    • Main Menu > Data Sources > Add data Source
      • Name: Brood InfluxDB
      • Default: true/check
      • Type: InfluxDB
      • URL: http://influxdb:8086
      • Access: Proxy
      • Database: brood
14. Import pre-configured dashboards
    • Dashboard Menu > import
    • preconfigured dashboards are available in brood/priv/dashboards
    • Select InfluxDB data source configured above.

unfortunately Grafana does not allow for auto-selecting datasources when automatically importing dashboards, so it’s manual for now
