A cargo shipping demo of Red Hat + Eurotech IoT technologies

Red Hat IoT Precious Cargo Demo

This is an example IoT demo showing a realtime updating dashboard of data streaming from a Red Hat + Eurotech IoT gateway device through the Eurotech Everyware Cloud. It demonstrates realtime package tracking, alerting, and a telemetry dashboard showing critical measurements of packages in transit, including temperature, humidity, displacement, light levels, etc.

Requirements to build/run:

1. Nodejs
2. NPM
3. Bower
4. Maven

Technologies used:

• AngularJS
• Patternfly
• WebSockets
• JBoss Middleware (EAP, and more to come)

Building and running the Data Streamer

$ cd datastream/
$ npm install
$ npm start

You will see:

Listening to 0.0.0.0:8081...
Sun Jun 12 2016 14:51:12 GMT-0400 (EDT) Server is listening on port 8081

This starts a WebSocket server listening on the above port. Leave this server running and build/run the dashboard in the next step.

Building and running the Dashboard

The dashboard is a Java EE web app built using Maven that can be deployed to JBoss EAP 6.x, 7.x, or later. Building the project results in a .war file. Once deployed to JBoss EAP (e.g. by copying to the standalone/deployments directory), access the dashboard at http://localhost:8080. It will attempt to connect to the Data streamer server at ws://localhost:8081 and start streaming data.

To build:

$ cd dashboard
$ bower install
$ mvn package
$ cp target/ROOT.war /my/jboss/standalone/deployments

If it successfully deploys, you should be able to access the dashboard at http://localhost:8080. Click around, and enjoy. It's read-only so you really can't break anything!
