sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon
sudo apt-get install libavahi-client-dev
./autogen.sh [clean]
./configure
make
make check # to run self-test

To run fty-mdns-sd project:

• from within the source tree, run:

./src/fty-mdns-sd

For the other options available, refer to the manual page of fty-mdns-sd

• from an installed base, using systemd, run:

Agent doesn't publish any metrics.

Agent doesn't publish any alerts.

Agent doesn't accept any mailbox requests.

On startup, agent send INFO request to fty-info agent, and sets default service definition and TXT properties via avahi.

In addition to that, agent is subscribed to ANNOUNCE stream (special stream where up-to-date INFO messages are periodically published).

On each INFO message, agent updates service definition and TXT properties, and publishes them to mDNS-SD via avahi.
