isoblue-server

Overview

isoblue-server is a test server that ISOBlue can send data to. It stores data in a mongo database at the url defined in environment variable 'MONGO_URL'. If 'MONGO_URL' is not set, then it defaults to 'mongodb://localhost:27017/isoblue'.

Endpoints

ISOBlue should do a GET request to url/config/udid where udid is a universal identifier for that ISOBlue.

The response will be the following:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "url":"http://www.example.com/data/1234",
  "pgns":[1234,5678,9123]
}

It contains a 'url' key which is the url the ISOblue should post data to and a 'pgns' key which is the list of pgns the ISOBlue should filter on.

Data the ISOBlue sends to the POST url should look like the following:

{
  "timestamp": 1414782625.123,
  "pgn": "1234",
  "src":"a",
  "dst":"b",
  "bus":1,
  "data": "SomeDataToUpload"
}

Or if multiple messages are batched together:

[
{
  "timestamp": 1414782625.124,
  "pgn": "1234",
  "src":"a",
  "dst":"b",
  "bus":1,
  "data": "SomeDataToUpload"
},
{
  "timestamp": 1414782625.125,
  "pgn": "5678",
  "src":"a",
  "dst":"b",
  "bus":1,
  "data": "Moredata"
},
{
  "timestamp": 1414782625.126,
  "pgn": "9123",
  "src":"a",
  "dst":"b",
  "bus":1,
  "data": "LotsOfdata"
}
]

To retrieve data you do a GET request to the same URL the ISOBlue is POSTing data to. All data is returned. There is no method to filter the response at this time.

Usage

Make sure mongo is running. If on your local machine:

• mongod

Run the server:

• node server.js

Coming soon

• Response filtering by timestamp and PGN.
• Security
• A key added in the config response to specify how many messages to batch.
• Accept parameters in the GET request to /config to tell what API version the device supports.
