DataStorm provides a node server executable named dsnode.

This executable is a simple program that instantiates a DataStorm node. It supports Ice properties and configuration.

It can be used to provide the following functionality to other nodes:

  • registration: nodes can connect and register with dsnode in order to exchange topic discovery information.
  • bridging: nodes with disabled server endpoints can connect to dsnode to receive data from other nodes.

See Connectivity for additional information.

The DataStorm node supports the following command-line options:

Usage: dsnode [options]
Options:
-h, --help               Show this message.
-v, --version            Display the DataStorm version.

The node server supports the same properties as any DataStorm node so its endpoints are defined with the DataStorm.Node.Server.Endpoints property. You should use a fixed port for the endpoint in order to allow other nodes to connect by specifying this node's endpoints with the DataStorm.Node.ConnectTo property.
