Elektra 0.11.0
|
This plugin is a notification plugin, which receives notifications using ZeroMq subscribe (ZMQ_SUB
) sockets from the compatible zeromqsend plugin.
See installation. The package is called libelektra5-zeromq
.
libzmq3-dev
(ZeroMQ C bindings > 3.2)The recommended way is to globally mount the plugin together with the zeromqsend plugin:
kdb global-mount zeromqsend zeromqrecv
This plugin is designed to be used as a transport plugin for Elektra's notification feature. If notification is not enabled (i.e. in the tool kdb
or in any other application that does not use elektraNotifiationContract()
) this plugin does performs no operations.
Since ZeroMQ sockets only provide a 1:n mapping (i.e. one publisher with many subscribers or one subscriber and many publishers) the zeromqsend
and zeromqrecv
plugins require a XPUB/XSUB endpoint. The kdb tool "hub-zeromq" provides these endpoints.
Mount this plugin globally with default settings to use it as receiving transport plugin for Elektra's notification feature:
kdb global-mount zeromqrecv
This plugin supports the following configuration options when mounting:
ipc
and tcp
ZeroMQ transports are recommended. The default value is "tcp://localhost:6001".For the notification format please see the zeromqsend
plugin documentation.
