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. See Discovery for additional 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 the node endpoints are defined with the DataStorm.Node.Server.Endpoints property. You should use a fixed port for the endpoint in order to allow other node to connect by specifying this node endpoints with the DataStorm.Node.ConnectTo property.
