 +===== QPID Message Broker Config for Operations ==== 
 +To keep this rather complex config beast as low profile as possible on DRAGNET, this is only set up on DRAGNET to facilitate observation feedback flowing back to Observatory systems (MoM). This is inevitable (COBALT expects the local qpid queues), although failure impact is low: status in MoM.\\ 
 + 
 +To use [[operator:resourcetool | resourcetool]], qpid is also needed, but by always specifying a broker host on the command line, we can avoid tracking RO qpid config just for that. It also makes operations vs test systems explicit (ccu001 vs ccu199). 
 + 
 +QPID is going to be used more and more, e.g. also for user ingest. 
 + 
 +Reinoud (and Jan David) are the people to debug qpid trouble with. 
 + 
 + 
 +=== QPID Config for Feedback === 
 +On DRAGNET, I created 3 queues on each node (twice, once for operations and once for the test system), and routes from all nodes to the head node, and from the head node to ccu001 (operations) and ccu199 (test).\\ 
 +See **/home/amesfoort/build_qpid_queues-dragnet.sh** although typically I use it as notes instead of running it nilly-willy... RO software also has scripts where I added our queues and routes in case everything would need to be reset.\\
