Discovery

This example demonstrates how to list all active services within your iceoryx2 application. To get the most out of this example, you can combine it with other examples, such as the event example or the publish-subscribe example, to see active services in action.

How to Build

Before proceeding, a virtual environment with all dependencies needs to be created. You can find the detailed instructions in the Python Examples Readme.

poetry --project iceoryx2-ffi/python install

Then, the iceoryx2 python bindings can be built and installed into the virtual environment:

poetry --project iceoryx2-ffi/python run maturin develop --manifest-path iceoryx2-ffi/python/Cargo.toml --target-dir target/ff/python

How to Run

To begin, let's start some interesting services. Open two terminals and execute the following commands:

Terminal 1

poetry --project iceoryx2-ffi/python run python examples/python/event/listener.py

Terminal 2

poetry --project iceoryx2-ffi/python run python examples/python/publish_subscribe/publisher.py

Once these services are running, you can call the following command:

poetry --project iceoryx2-ffi/python run python examples/python/discovery/discovery.py

This will display the static service details of both the event and the publish-subscribe service, giving you a comprehensive view of the active services in your iceoryx2 application.
