14th Oct: Artel switch supported in desktop app, settings menu and daily app build !
25th Sept: Fixed a bug preventing connection to cisco switch.... if you tried and were unhappy, test latest version
Also has the cool name of : MnMs (Media Network M{onitoring,anagement} S{ystem,ervices})
Set of tools for multiplatform real time media network (ST2110, AES67, Dante... ) monitoring and administration This is aimed a being a swarm of microservices all connected to a mission control app or website.
It is work in progress. At the moment it:
- Shows the topology of the network
- Gives information on switch ports: what is it connected to, bandwith, multicast group registration..
- Shows the different MDNS services and, if there, shows SDP information and if it is AES67, ST-2022-7
- Traces the groups registration on the network (light the network path where the group has been registered)
You can find an aggregated/app form of the tools here (nightly build):
MacOS (copy the app in /Applications folder)
You would have to accept some security warnings to launch the app. Or you can take the whole repository and build-it yourself.
At the moment, the software only works with SG3XX cisco switches or Artel Quarra switches. Be my guest (or contact me) if you want other switches support. You can have any number of switches on the network, the software should resolver inter-switch connection.
You have to tell the system to connect to the switches, click on the switch text in the bottom right and a list should appear if your switches have MDNS and TELNET activated.
Or you can launch the services by hand ! (still need telnet on cisco)
Open the left menu
Click on services
Choose the switch you want
Enter data
Here it should be there
The SG3XX switches MUST have mdns, telnet access enabled and the cisco/cisco user. You will be able to change this in the future.
Does MDNS query on the default interface, does not yet give you the choice of it
The app will create a webserver running on port 8888, you can then access the UI from other devices on the network
Right now... this is only data mining and shaping
You have to run npm i in every subfolder
The user ui, builds a MDNS directory
SG3XX data mining via telnet
Service doing MDNS query and data shaping for mission control
Web socket client module to connect to mission control
Does simple query to get SDP from RRTSP
The electron app builder, firt run npm cloud-copy before npm package-
