Using Agents

Agents support the following resource types:

• Cybus::Connection

• Cybus::Endpoint

• Cybus::Mapping

The endpoint resource can also use the rules property to enable data manipulation and pre-processing on the edge, using the Rule Engine for edge processing.

To deploy these resources on an agent, set the agentName property for each connection in the service commissioning file. All endpoint resources that rely on that connection will automatically run on the same agent, without needing additional configuration.

The value of the agentName property (for Cybus::Connection resources) must exactly match the CYBUS_AGENT_NAME environment variable value used during agent startup.

You can find an example service commissioning file here.
