A Murfey deployment is comprised of multiple components, illustrated in the diagram below. These consist of:

• A RabbitMQ message broker instance for passing messages between processing services
• A PostgreSQL database instance for keeping track of data collection and processing information
• The Murfey server which handles data collection registration and processing requests
• A Murfey client which watches for data and notifies the Murfey server

In addition there are optional components:

• ISPyB laboratory information management system for integration with user visit information and for processing results recording for display with the PATo web frontend
• A Graylog instance for log recording
