DESCRIPTION

This module will process alerts from the message queue. It inherits from XAS::Lib::App::Daemon::POE.

CONFIGURATION

-throws

-options

This provides three additional options. There format is what can be supplied to Getopt::Long. The defaults are the supplied values. Those values be can overridden on the command line.

'host=s'

This is the host that the message queue is on.

'port=s'

This is the port that it listens on.

'configs=s'

This is a configuration file that lists all of the collector processes. The configuration file has the following format:

[collector: alert]
alias = alert
queue = /queue/alert
packet-type = xas-alert
module = XAS::Collector::Alert

This uses the standard .ini format. The entries mean the following:

[controller: xxxx] - The beginning of the stanza.
alias              - The alias for this POE session.
queue              - The message queue to listen on, defaults to '/queue/xas'.
packet-type        - The message type expected.
module             - The module that handles that message type.
